Hi Britedark,

My English is not very good but I hope I can express sufficiently that I myself would be "creeped out" being in such a house and such a room.

Not being a physician or medical professional of any kind, I cannot offer anything that could be relied up.

An uneducated guess on my part . . .If I was a single woman I would be concerned about being alone with a man in a house. If that house sort of "creeped me out" that would add to my discomfort and anxiety.

Being in such a house in a room without windows would add even more to my discomfort and anxiety.

I would "guess" that maybe the cumulative effect of all these things would have an effect too as would being introverted. I myself am introverted.

Permit me a little analogy. A strong rope is made of little pieces of string. Each string by itself isn't that strong but when they are put together in a rope the rope can be quite strong. I think this is called 'converging factors.'

Sadly, I don't know what I would do if I was in your place. I hope others here will have actual suggestions for you.

Something that helps sometimes when I am uncertain about something is doing a cost/benefit analysis. What are the undesirable aspects of continuing in this situation compared to the happy aspects.

If something causes me more distress and anguish than happiness, that will sometimes help me decide on a course of action. Or if the opposite is the case. Perhaps this is too impersonal an approach?

So sorry I could not be really helpful to you. I sure hope you find something that helps you in this situation!

Best to you! -- Yaowen
