the Dark (fear of the unknown) 🤝 the Stranger (fear of the unknowable) 🤝 the lonely (fear of being unknown) 🤝 the eye (fear of being known)
let the four of them collaborate to torment one person. please it would be so funny
good news, it’s not contradictory at all!!
everyone has a basic human desire to control their own narrative– to be viewed in accordance to how they view themselves.
removing them from the narrative entirely (the lonely), or removing the narrative from their control (the eye), are both equally fears surrounding personal perception. and are very closely linked.
