Everyone is different and sometimes a new scene can help you feel comfortable with fixing yourself. I am afraid of my own shadow and I really hate it when people sneak up behind me. At night I run when I see a shadow and later see it was mines.
 
Well, I never go out at night. Only in the safety of the back yard. Nice that I now have only one neighbor & I often wonder what they must think if they hear me talking to those shadows that lurk about. People scare me more than those shadows do. New scenes take a lot of time for me to ease into. I only do these in the daylight hours. Otherwise, I stay in the house or the yard where I feel safe!
 
For me, especially at night, I'm aware of everything within a block radis and Idk how but I can hear people two blocks away from me. I'm aware of every moving shadow and if one looks like it's deviating from my movement I immediately do a 360 on my surrounding and walk quicker to my destination. I'm a nervous mess when I'm walking at night. Which I have to do after work.
