Removing the veil of certainty (i.e the narrative) is an overwhelming proposition. When you crawl out from beneath that blanket, as uncomfortable and yet cozy as it is, the sheer lack of mental security and certainty is daunting. It's only then you are forced to think for yourself, but because there are so many unknowns you can never be 'sure' again of what is true. Your illusion of a guaranteed 'truth' has evaporated. It's a terrifying prospect.
