Is it normal that i'm scared of the dark and i'm 20?

If it makes you feel better, I'm a guy and my fear of the dark didn't completely vanish until I was like... ~25? It was fascinating because in the space of a few weeks I suddenly transitioned from "being alone in the woods at night and anxiously looking back/around every 10 seconds" to "feeling calm and at peace in the same place under the same conditions." and it's stayed that way since.

I can understand being afraid of the dark at any age.
I can't sleep in the dark I'm claustrophobic. It feels like something is going to hit me in the face when I can't see.

Have a little night light my friend :)

People are afraid of things they aren't acknowledged of. Don't mind my weird English. Please.

That's just silly. The dark is your friend. You can hide in the dark and those things that you are afraid of can't see you. In the light EVERYTHING can see you.

I'm not afraid of the dark. I'm afraid of what hides in it.

Why be afraid? Why have fear?

I have a crazy active imagination and horror movies scarred me as a child. It wasn't until after I went down to my basement which isn't even finished, shut the door, and turned the lights off that I could get over it.

Nothing will happen. But the only way to overcome fear is to face it head on.
