I am deeply afraid of libraries for the dumbest reason.
I am afraid of stepping into any and all libraries.
When I was 11 I went to rent out a book from the library, first time doing so. I got a library card (I don’t know where it is) and enjoyed my book. I went to a vacation just the day before it was due and I had not finished the book.
I ended up being 2 weeks late before my mother returned it for me, I’m not sure if we even had to pay the fee.
I am now deeply afraid of libraries and I feel like I’m judged by everyone in it if I ever step into any. Something about libraries makes me feel this horrible embarrassment and shame and social anxiety. Anytime I want a book I just order it in Amazon. How do I get rid of this fear because the concept of libraries interest me a lot and I want to go back into one.
