Spectrophobia

Similar to Catoptrophobia (Cat-ope-tro-phobia) and Eisoptrophobia (Eye-sop-tro-phobia), Spectrophobia is one of the many different reasons a person might be scared to of mirrors. Spectrophobia is specifically used to describe a person's fear to look into a mirror and see something other then their own reflection such as a spirit, demon, or something not of the normal human world. Symptoms of this phobia could be trembling, shaking, faster breathing, increasing heartbeat, crying/screaming, sweating, or panic/anxiety attacks whenever looking into a mirror.

Girl 1: "I'm so scared of seeing a ghost or something really scary whenever I look in my mirror. Sometimes I have anxiety attacks over it!"

Girl 2: "Oh my god you might have that one phobia. I think it's called Catoptrophobia..."

Girl 1: "Really?"

Girl 3: "Noo... I think she has Spectrophobia. That's the fear of seeing something other then your reflection in the mirror. Catoptrophobia is the fear of seeing your own reflection."

Girl 1: "Yess, I definitely have Spectrophobia. It's so scary!"

Spectral Thinking

The opposite of dichotomous thinking. It is a term used by people who are recovering from thinking in black-and-white terms and finally start looking at things in general from a broader perspective, hence producing a ‘spectrum’ of thoughts.

“That dude finally started spectral thinking after years of believing food can either be only excellent or shit.”
