when i was really young my parents decided to finish the basement of their house and make it into a master suite . i thought that would be cool , but i was so freaked out for many months after ! what caused you to be freaked out over the finished basement ? sounds good all around . i was just scared because my parents and i had always been in rooms next to each other and now they were all the way downstairs . thinking back it was a pretty silly thing to be afraid about . well , actually , i think that makes sense considering you were a kid and you were use to them being with you upstairs .
The separation from parents caused the feeling of fear.
