26 and still afraid of the boogey

I'm 26 I live in the sticks and when the sun goes down I don't go outside unless I really have to , and if I do I grab my gun some mace and a crowbar I don't watch scary movies because well they scare me , if I forgot something in my truck I'm screwed because I will not go outside after dark unless I'm somewhere else like at my sisters. Or in town or somewhere there's alot of people buf I don't like too many people round here so im usually at my house it's really annoying I wish I could get over my fear of the dark

    I think so. Many people are afraid of the dark. Frightening when you have a vivid imagination. I believe it is fear of the unknown. What's 10 feet in front of you is unknown. Anything goes. Just do like they did in ancient times. When the shadows of eveving lengthen, be prepared to quickly get indoors and keep the candle lit. They also had windows whichno one or thing could completely reach inside.

    Got off on a story and a spooky one atthat. Point is, fear of darkness is as old as man himself
