Okay, so when i go to bed i leave the light on (which makes it impossible to sleep). And when me and my friends are hanging out at night, and its really dark, im always scared that some psycho is gonna pop out of the bushes and kill me. and i want to know is their anyone out there that is afraid of the dark too? PLEASE HELP
i feel like a wierdo...but it is what it is. if you knew me ud never think of it but imm really afraid of the dark,someti.es more then other.most of the time i say a prayer aloud and go.to bed.but other times im not so lucky. i either hear somthing see something or yes feel.somthing that makes me tart thinking robbers,ghosts,rapists scary dark things are either there or waiting for me to turn the light out! i have to sleep with my boyfriend or if i cant i turn the tv on put it on mute and waer those sleeping eyes masks. hard to get used to at first but o well. im probably more skidish about u cuz ive seen ghosts...yes im one of those lol..i dnt believe for one seco.d ghosts cant hurt u so if i feel one or hear one im on my toes...as i poop buckets! get a black light or lava .lamp its sudle light..right?
iam 32 and i still get scared of the dark i feel like such a baby at times lol
I am 19 and still afraid of the dark I have that same feeling when I'm out but if I'm with friends I'm ok. I've been dealing with this ever since about 6th grade, I don't know what to do about it because I feel so scared at night I stay up til my eyes get heavy and I just fall asleep. Its really hard thinking that every time you go into a dark room and don't turn on the light as soon as you walk in that something bad will happen to you.
this is completely normal. I'm 20 years old an i'm still afraid of the dark. Its just the fact that we cannot see what is there. Sometimes it takes me hours to fall asleep because i can't sleep on my side without someone being there, because i think that something is going to attack me behind my back. I feel this way in my own house, room, and bed, so in my opinion its just the way we are. Plus, i watched alot of horror movies when i was a child. that might have to do with it....
You are not a creature of the night and therefore cannot see normally in darkness, a disadvantage that you probably feel will be used against you in a mugging. This is perfectly normal. If you do feel afraid though, might try carrying a flip-out knife.
People are scared of the unknown.
Darkness is the unknown.
People are scared of darkness.
You are part of the people.
You are normal.
I feel like it's reasonable to be scared in dark places but you shouldn't always be scared in your own home, room, and bed. Unless you have a brother or sister who is waiting to attack you in the night. That happens sometime. Lol. But, back to what I was saying, if you can't feel safe in your own home, then where can you feel safe?
