Anyone else get this unsettling creeped out feeling of being in a wide open space alone especially at night? During the day it is not as bad but I feel so creeped out at night, even when I am indoors. The worst part is when a indoor open space has lots of windows and no blinds. Usually this is found in big houses and schools, as well as other public places. I feel safer in smaller spaces since it makes me feel more secure. I like to be able to see my surroundings better. It creates a more sense of security.

I used to not mind as much when I was way younger, but during my college years, I started developing these feelings. Nothing bad happened in college, just simply developed a disliking for open spaces as my college years went by and still continues this day. I would feel so creeped out being in the student center alone at night especially with there not being curtains on the windows. Although once curtains were installed, it helped a bit but I still felt creeped out. Now it happens in big houses I may be in as well and outside. Anyone know what triggers this to randomly occur? Nothing bad happened to me, I just developed it over the years. If I am with other people, not as much of a problem, especially during the day, but alone is different. Especially at night. Same thing for the gym. I hated being there alone at night.
