Is it normal that i'm scared of being alone in the dark sometimes...

Sometimes I'm afraid to be in the dark alone. It's weird I get this feeling like some creep is just gonna jump outta somewhere with a gun or a knife or something and try to kill me...is that normal???

    Totally normal if you're young or american, a.k.a. Paranoid

    Of course it's normal. Our minds like to play tricks on us, sometimes convincing us of demons and stuff that we can't see. We can't see them because, well, they DON'T EXIST! So there you have it. IIN!

    I used to have that too. But then I'm like "nothings happened yet so why worry?" it calmed me down and now I'm good with it...I'd rather not b alone but if I have to I will...

    I never sleep alone In the complete dark, I just can't do it. I'm way too paranoid about ghosts and such.

    Yes,

    I think that is perfictly normal to be scared of the dark. I used to think that the devil toy Chucky was going to jump out of noware and start stabbing me with a knife or something.

    It's normal. I have a fear of someone jumping out from underneath my bed or my closet.

  • Yes it's normal.

    People fear the unknown and will always see the worst in it.

    I much prefer being in the dark with my honey.

    But I kind of like lurking in the shadows.

    "It's the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more." Remember those words, think about it. It helped for me, so why not give it a shot?

    Totally normal, I can't stand being in the dark, it feels like your not alone even if you really are.

    I think that is perfectly normal I think everybody feels insecure sometimes you just have to try keep ur mind on something else.
