i'm kinda scared of the dark, last night My sisters were in bed (their bedtime) and my parents were partying. I went to through a pizza box in the recycling and it was dark down the stairs and the door was open -11:00pm- so I went down and closed it. Then I ran upstairs like something was gonna get ME!!. Is this normal?
Hahaa im the eaxact same too!!!. I wouldnt call it being scared of the dark though, its more like scared of whats in the dark. if im in a room and the lights go off im not scared cause i know whats in the room, but if i walked in a dark i would shit my pants and cry haha.
"Then I ran upstairs like something was gonna get ME!!."
i do that at night too ,IT'S FREAKN SCARY AT NIGHT!! i am scared of the dark too but when i was young my dad made me think the old china figure made me safe in the dark .so i' fine in my room anywere else. i break down....
Yeah that's normal i used to feel this way to..I always felt like something was going to get me or attack me in the middle of night or somewhere dark.I never know what's in the dark..I get the same exact way 2 when it comes 2 dark places and even though i'm with somebody else in the room.I feel more scared.
How old are you? How long has this fear of the dark freaked the crap out of you? I know from my experiences that I use to think some one was gonna get me, then again, there was a cannibal/hobo/ninja living in my basement who wanted to kill me.
I used to be terrified of the dark.
As a child if I had to go outside in the dark I would often scream all the way from point A to point B. For one thing I thought my screaming would startle anything that was in the dark and give me a chance to get to safety before the "bad guy" recovered his wits. I also thought that maybe people would be looking out the window to see what the hell all that screaming was about and then if I was being attacked they would see and come to my rescue. My Dad always said "there's nothing in the dark that isn't there in the daylight", but even as a little kid I knew he was lying to me. I knew about animals that come out at night to hunt, including the two legged ones; burglars, prowlers, rapists, child snatchers, etc. Strangely enough I got over my paralyzing fear of the dark when I moved to the big city in my teens. It was never really dark. There were always lights. I still fear what's in the dark, because I know the truth, that evil doers love the cover of darkness, but now I control my fear instead of letting it control me. The dark doesn't paralyze me. I just have a healthy respect for it, and try to take reasonable precautions against the more common hazards I might encounter in the dark.
I'm 18 years old and I'm still afraid of the dark and run like somthing's gonna get me in the dark.
im scared of the dark too. i often wonder how im going to console my 4 mo old daughter in the next few years when she tells me the same thing. lol oh well.
