Eisoptrophobia

Eisoptrphobia is the fear of mirrors. This unusual condition can manifest differently in each person. Some people may experience fear when seeing images of themselves in the mirror, although others may not even notice any discomfort at all. But the main symptom of esopthorphobia is the fear of seeing your reflection in the mirror. Many find it difficult to even look at their reflection for even a few seconds, making this one of the most difficult phobias to treat.

It is worth noting that among celebrities, people such as Coco Chanel, Sergei Bodrov and Victoria Beckham suffered from esophthrophobia. They all face fear when reflecting themselves in the mirror, and it is increasingly difficult for them to appear in the light of the sun without anyone around them seeing their reflection - they appear in public only in the shade of the midday or evening sun. Apparently, the celebrities themselves realize that the reason for this condition is their traumatic events of the past. Experts believe that the victims had a recent shock (for example, after a disaster), which turned their worldview upside down and caused shock or a feeling that the world was collapsing.
