When i'm alone at home..

I'm not afraid of anything or anyone, but if I'm downstairs and I have to turn off all the lights (when it's dark) as soon a I turn the light off I run for my life into the light or upstairs etc.

Anyone get me?

    Totally normal. It's not a fear of the dark, it's an uneasiness with not being able to see what's there around you, which makes you feel vulnerable to attack. It goes back to the days when man had predators and kept fires burning to keep them away. Darkness leaves you open to being picked off by some savage beast (or so our psyche wold have us believe)

  • Yeah that's normal I do it to. It's like somebody or something is chasing after you.

    I know im always scared of being alone and the dark. i need NOISE when im in the dark or alone, if not im scared and sometimes i feel like running out of the house where there is PEOPLE, and im not alone, because i have seen scary things when im alone.

    I am like that too. When I turn off the lights when I am downstairs, I make a mad dash upstairs to see the light again. :(

    I do it all the time. Loose wiring can cause an electrical disturbance that some people find unnerving. This will cause a "fight or flight" reaction that is unwanted but must be acted upon as if your life depended on it. It's totally normal, so don't worry and just keep doing what you do.
