Enclosed, dark places make me comfey...

I am not afraid of open, bright places, but, when I am upset or scared I DO like being in small dark places. I realized I go to the laundry room (a closet really) and turn out the light. I hid in the closet during a really bad fight with my man once--I mean he knew where I was--it just helped me calm down to go into the closet--and yeah that made me feel weird. Also I will go take a shower and just sit down sometimes in the water, I've even done so in the dark.

I remember doing the same thing as a child now that I think about it. Not sure why as my household wasn't in any way angry or violent--it was quite happy. But I still loved hiding out for some reason. It felt comfortable.

I also think maybe it helps lower the level of stimulation for me. Just turning out the light, limiting the air flow, and blocking off sound seems to help me calm down.

I like small dark enclosed spaces too. They are just comforting to be inside of. I would sleep inside my closet if I could. I do not like large open areas. The ocean scares me, like some thing monstrous could come out of it at any moment. Small dark spaces feel safe.

I dunno. Sounds pretty natural to me. Maybe it reminds you of the womb...

Yes!! I know! My parents hate it when I don't open my doors or windows or whatever ever! I've never found anyone who has this same habit...but it's probably not normal..cause you're the only one I've found so far..

Same here! I've never been able to find someone that feels the same way! :D

Whenever I feel sad, or stressed, or overwhelmed, I hide away under my blanket, or I get in my closet, with the light out, and Sit.

I sit until I feel better. What usually helps, is to have a fan in my closet, or, the air conditioner on. :D

I put foil on my bed room windows.

same thing going on here. it progressively gets worse until you're paranoid 24/7. Eventually, you won't want to go outside unless its nighttime and will end up working some odd job doing graveyard shift and racing home before the sun comes up. I even considered moving to Alaska because of their limited daylight winters. lol. So, if you think I'm normal then you probably are too. :)

I , myslef, feel the same way but I feel like it’s a sign of massive insecurity.

I like natural light from windows, and only turn on lights if I absolutely have to. My eye dr says it’s bad for my eyes because it can cause eye strain, but I am so sensitive to light anyway that I feel I am doing more harm having lights on.

I am currently under a weighted blanket, with another blanket over my face in a pitch black room with my phone backlight all the way down. I also wear an eye mask when I sleep to ensure darkness.

I'm not scared of open bright spaces and I love small dark areas but I also love silence. I love being underwater where everything is calm that's why I love scuba diving. Whenever I'm scared I close myself in a dark room which doesn't have to be small as long as I know the room. If I don't know it then I prefer smaller spaces.

Vampire.

I HATE bright stuff and i tend 2 stay away from sun light. I luv the dark so much. Specially in small places. Bcuz i luv
Creepy stuff. Its normal

yea its normal, i feel too open and like people are looking at me in big places

I think that's normal, I've met plenty of people like that. But we're opposites because I have claustrophobia. I hate tight and dark spaces.

you're a vampire!!! check to see if you have a pulse.

I

I get that too. It can be a bit of a relief.

Agoraphobia- Fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places like markets. Fear of leaving a safe place.

Sounds to me like you're evil... evil things hangout in cramped dark places. So you feel right at home.
