If the cabin crew comes over to force you to shut the blinds, explain them what's going on. I normally close the window shades by about three quarters, but keep a bit open so I can peek out anytime.
Advising people to be rude and argue with the cabin crew is not good advice. People are trying to sleep. Your advice causes a bad flight for one person to become a bad flight for 20 people. Don't punish other people because of your phobias. Close your blinds so it is dark.
