Deep in to the night,you have to face darkness,face yourself,and your inner heart,far away from furyand crowd.Will night bright you loneliness,silence and fear besides calm? What will you do ,recollect the past,evaluate yourself,or divert you attention? Or will you wait for the shining of first twilight? Share your feelings in the still of night.

What scares me most at night is someone breaking in. I have a fear that if I look out the window someone will be looking in. If I am scared at night I try to divert my attention by reading or someting and then when I am really tired try to sleep. In the daytime whatever it was usually seems better.

i am afraid of ghost (haha,just a joke ) Before i saw this topic ,it seemed i never think about it what do i fear most in the still of night ? it appears to me i don't fear anything ,nothing is worth my fear in the still of night as one of the old chinese saying goes ,A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder i am quite sure i am a kind person who is kind to everyone ,and show sympathy to the underdogs in the life i really don't what i have to fear,fear is a kind of inner feeling of worrying about the things happened in the past or the things will happen in the future,what we have feared is only fear itself in the still of night ,i can feel calm and silence of the beautiful night ,i really enjoy such a feeling if i feel sleepy,the calm of the night can make me sleep quite well ,which can refresh my feelings in the morning ,and benefit me to my work if i am energetic in the night ,when felt the calm ,it really can give me personal space to recollect my good and sweet momeries in the past ,i don't think i am surrounded only with endless darkness ,i still can find the ray of moon light in the dark ,it is a romantic and fantastic feeling maybe in such a wonderful context ,i will miss my home and my family members ,if my sister didn't feel quite tired and sleepy ,i will ask her to talk with me about our happy memories staying with family members ah...what a nice poem it sounds like do you think so ? i really can't come up with anything frightened ,if you really want an answer what i should say is my worries on some part of my work ,of course it isn't messed up by me ,just because i want to know the smooth progress on it maybe i am a kind of person who attach more attention and held more responsible for my work haha it seems i am praising myself again xixi sorry i am not boasted about myself even though i am quite confident in my ability haha and if i read some articles or novel relating to horrible ghost in the daytime,when the dark night is coming,i will be afraid of it so much,just because the frightening image of the horrible novel left me a strong impression which can't be cleared away from my mind O(n_n)O~,so i really should give up such a reading interest in horrible novel i don't like to be frightened anymore in the darkness ah...what a terrible and awesome feeling (*^__^*) anyway i like the topic hope everyone has a nice day

Well not really a fear or phobia but i feel uneasy when it is dark. I usually sleep with a night light on to ease that. The reason is 'the unknown'. I like nights, the silence of the city, fresher air, sounds of night creatures, stars. But the idea of complete darkness, the unknown makes me feel uneasy. So if its dark and there is a power shortage when i'm alone, i usually light a few candles and sing to myself, or read poetry outloads. Also those moments always remind me the famous song of Iron Maiden, 'Fear of the dark'.
