it’s actually not an uncommon fear, though to take it THAT far, it’s a bit of a different story. Eisoptrophobia-the fear of mirrors. Some believe people fear mirrors because they fear encountering a type of demons-mirrors are believed to be gateways to “other realms” or even the spirit, or even “spirit realms”. It’s believed “seers”, or divinators use them for looking into the future(or past), or to contact the dead, or “other worldly beings”. Here’s a website for more information =>

Perhaps you can get therapy for it

I admit, I’ve a minor case of Eisoptrophobia, but it only takes place at night in the dark. I have to make sure no mirrors are facing my bed, and the only mirrors in my room are small mirrors, out of fear of something coming out of it and getting me(which I know is completely irrational). There’s a large mirror in the bathroom, so I tend not to bathe to often at night, or at least when every one is asleep.

Hope this helps
