Are you scared of darkness?

Yea I hate the darkeness I don't like not knowing what is there it's so creepy a spider the size of your whole face could be sitting there hanging in your way but you don't know it's there because it's dark and then next thing you know a spider is wrapped around your face with it's hairy legs and venomous pincers poking you in eye balls. And I love the light way too much to go without it for too long.

Good discussion! I'm a little odd when it comes to my feelings for the darkness... I work nights...so on the nights I work I drive in the darkness and really like it. On my nights off I am awake when everyone else is asleep. So I am alone in my house when it is dark out--and usually my mom has the doors and windows open (we have screens that are closed, she just wants the house to cool down during the night)...and I'm not scared of anything. *If I'm watching a scary movie by myself it's a different story but I wont get into that, I'm sure it's a universal thing* But here's the odd thing...while I am not afraid of natural darkness...if there is a power problem and the electricity goes out after sundown, even if I'm not alone--I panic a little. I dont have a panic attack or anything...I dont scream and freak out. My stomach just tightens up, and I close my eyes and sit still....I don't want to be alone so if someone wont stay in a room with me I follow. And I defeniatly need to be one of the people holding a flashlight lol.

Not really. But then again I live in a rural area. I have to admit though sometimes if I am out in my yard after dark I feel like I am in a fish bowl...and I cannot see out but people can see in. And I do get spooked around Halloween when I am watching Micheal Myers..but hey gotta have some thrills in life.

No. I actually prefer the dark. I absolutely just love the nighttime. I think that the darkness is cozy, comfortable.

When I was a child, I was afraid of the dark. I would go to bed with my light on. When I fell asleep, my mother would come in and turn it off. Now that I'm an adult, I have overcome this fear. There are times every now and then when I hear a strange noise outside and that little girl fear creeps back into my head. Sometimes I turn on the light. Other times I just stare into the darkness. Thank goodness for the daylight when it comes.

I love darkness my friend. I hate daylight but I'm not a vampire nor a monster in the dark. It's just that for me when the night comes its the time for me to relax myself from the tiring events and jobs which I did during the day. When you are afraid of the dark for me that means you are secured and safe because you are aware of yourself. If you are scared with your own image I guess for me you are just a very imaginative type of person you kept on thinking about things which can scare you.You know what my friend I've been visited by unknown forces almost every year I mean I get to see things which are not supposed to be seen.My third eye is activated when I'm sleeping I'm really scared at first when I was young but eventually I get used to it. You should not be scared of darkness but instead have fear on daytime because during the day there are so many bad things which could happened everyday.

I really can relate to what you're saying. I don't really feel comfortable alone, when I go to sleep, which is one reason why I'm glad I'm living with my fiance. I don't know why I feel really insecure with sleeping alone or anything like that. But it's just the way that it's been for a while.

I would consider myself to be one of those who fear the dark as well. Although I am bale to sleep in the dark, there are certain circumstances that I am scared to be in the dark. Usually, when I am all alone, I fear the most and my thoughts just run wild making me thing of the most horrible things that could happen. I am overcoming it slowly nowadays since I am already 20 and it would be embarrassing to be acting like that.

Yes, Me too im scared of the dark, same as you stupid thoughts, i feel like there is someone watching me and i don't like watching in the mirror alone in my room cos i feel like someone will appear on my back. im scared now. lol

in the past, when as a child in the countryside, i did scare the darkness. but now, i seldom watch the honor movies, so i dont scare of the darkness any more. after all, there is always a group living in the building when in the city.

hi anwe, oh noh! .. darkness?? well honestly i am really afraid on it.. even if it is only outside on our house i can't stop to be afraid, my heart jumps and my hair really stands all the time.. so i make sure that i can be with someone if i am outside or i need to go away from the light.. janebeth.

I used to afraid of darkness when i was a kid. When i sleep, it's very dark, i even didn't dare to go to wc without turn on the light. That's because i was afraid of ghost, i was afraid it will appeared suddenly in the darkness. But i never see it. Now as the age goes on. I know it is a story of ghost, and i don't afraid of dark that much. But i also don't dare to walk along on the dark street not afraid of ghost but the bad people. And sometimes i also afraid of ghost when somebody talk about the ghost. How about you? Have a good night and happy mylot.

i always say (more to sound like bragging) to my friends that i am never afraid of the dark. but i realized that they were shallow words. i now shudder with just the thought of myself being alone in the bathroom, or in my bedroom. it is just very recently that we were told by my daughter's classmate who came to the house that she is seeing ghosts in the house (she has a third eye and is the subject of some of my discussions, here). she told my daughter that ghosts abound in dark and damp places. that is why i always feel goosebumps on my arms when i dare to enter a dark room because of this thought.

I think the fear of darkness is inherent in human beings. Personally, I get scared too when it goes all dark. I am especially scared if there are those strange noises of insects and other animals outside and if I am totally alone in the house. I also start imagining if something or someone could be around the corner, etc. My ear sensitivity definitely gets heightened and I pick up the smallest of sounds - that definitely freaks me out sometimes!!!

I'm not afraid of the darkness. I love the darkness. It's just what's in the darkness that scares me sometime.

anweshadas, lol. I believe you have long hair as what your profile picture is showing. Having that kind of long tresses and looking at yourself in the mirror in darkness, don't say you, I'll be scared the heck out of me too! I always think girls with long hair shouldn't walk around at night with the hair flowing in the air. It's just plain scary. Back to your question. No, I am not afraid of the dark. :)

im not afraid of the dark, im afraid what's in the dark. =)

No i am not scared of darkness, ghosts, spirits, but what scare me most are just 'dishonest, corrupted' politicians in my city; they can do any kind of damage to you, any moment lol..

Something in the brain searches for light. Even when I think I have my apartment totally dark, my brain is somehow able to use something small (like the little power lights from my always-on Internet-connection with COX Com.) to 'illuminate' the whole room. I'm 'old enough' to know that there are no ghosts or monsters out there to 'get me,' but I still have a fear (something I should be equally afraid of in the light) that only comes up in the dark---what I would do if the apartment building collapsed and I was somehow still alive (Although the recent earthquake we had should allay my fears there---it was nothing geography-warping, but there was absolutely no structure-damage in my apartment!)

No Im not scared of dark,I'm always on the dark.even my room is very dark. just think that you are protected by God.
