Are you afraid of being alone in the dark?

[Physics-Man]

I'm going to be honest, and say that I'm terrified of it. It's hard for me to sleep at night alone in complete darkness, so I need to have the TV on most of the time. I'm thinking about getting a night light to save on energy.

Yes

No

Not seriously since i was a child but very occassionally i will have a moment where my mind starts down that line of thinking, imagining that some one is lurking in the dark with intent to do me harm but I just do as i learned to do as a child, which is to tell myself that its not real, I am imagining these things and all i need to do to so worrying is to stop scaring myself.

[hellionthesagereborn]

No, I overcame that when I was a child. I was terrified of everything then (child hood abuse and what not) but at some point I snapped and decided I was going to die fighting so I refused to be afraid. ever since then very few things scare me (except parasites, they scare me because you can't punch them in the mouth like you can with everything else.).

[electromagnetic]

Outside no. I could easily walk in the woods alone at night and feel absolutely fine.
I can’t sleep in dark though. It has nothing to do with being scared about what lurks in the shadows, but more so a comfort is knowing there’s always a glow. My desk light is always on but yet again, I sleep under the covers in total darkness.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

It depends on where I am. Generally, no, I'm not. I'd be cautious but not frightened.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Thanks for the MHGirl pick @Physics-Man. :)

It depends. If I heard a story that scared me or if I heard about a tragic death I can spend days or even weeks without sleeping. So in those days I'm afraid of being alone in the dark. Otherwise I'm comfortable in the dark. My mother says that I started walking in the dark.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

No, in fact I kind of enjoy it.
And that said, the original Alone in the Dark from 1992 is one of my favorite games!

[Physics-Man]

I like the PS1 game that released around 2001.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I saw it, but never played it! Was it a remake of the first?

[Physics-Man]

I'm not sure. I think it was a reboot. It was freaky and scary as I can recall. Lots of, of course, dark areas, with ghouls that appear then disappear during thunderflashes.

[The-Wise-Phoenix]

I often times find the dark relaxing.
I live in Florida where sunshine is often times extremely bright. You are squinting even when you have sunglasses on.
So when I am in the dark I don't have to squint all the time.

[dustybiker]

I’m a huge night owl. Not a fan of light. But I get migraines, so low light and darkness become your soothing friend.

[JosyJosy]

No but I used to as a kid after watching a horror movie, I can sleep with the lights on, lights off, noise, no noise. As long as it's a place I feel safe at.

[rcljr]

I am that which goes bump in the night, I am the shadow on the wall, the tingle on the back of your neck, I am the impending sense of doom that sends your heart racing, I AM the night.

[Blackcupcake]

No I looove it when it’s dark. I rarely turn any lights on and if they’re on, they’re dimmed. Also taking walks outside when it’s dark and quiet and listening to music is the best🎶💯

[TrueConfection]

I'm only affraid of the dark if I'm outside. It's more like I'm concerned there is a wild animal that I can't see.

[rcljr]

It’s ok, wild animals can see you…

[TrueConfection]

@rcljr That's comforting! 😲

[rcljr]

🤣🤣🤣

[exitseven]

I sleep in almost total darkness. I have a digital clock that throws just enough light so i can find my way to the bathroom,

[weeee]

im the opposite of it. I can't sleep until it's completely pitch black in the room

[Massageman]

Not particularly.

Dollar Tree has some nightlights. Just get a handful and plug them in all along the hall and, bath and bedroom.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Sometimes it’s weird. One time my dad left his hat on the couch, and when I went to get a wee cuppa I thought it was his head. But I try not to fear, for that is doubtful of Gods power

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Thinking about dinosaurs doing dinosaur stuff helps too

[ParkMontez]

Depends on what movie I had watched the night before and whether it was in fullscreen or not !

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

You just don't know who is lurking so I don't care for the dark

[karaspara]

Not usually but if I was alone in the woods or somewhere similar then yeah probably I reckon lol

[douride2]

I'm not afraid of the dark so much as it's what you can't see in the dark is what I am afraid of.

[Juxtapose]

I like the dark, it's a giant cloak of privacy & peace. I can easily hide or listen for others too.

[JennBITx]

I was raised to take care of myself. If you get passed my dog. I guarantee you will not make it to new.

[Anonymous]

I don't like walking in a completely dark room because that usually leads to injury but if I am in bed it is ok

[Pinay_ako]

I sleep well with lights off and dead silence

[wakeupchy]

no, have been many times

[blondfrog]

If it was the dark in the forest then yea/

[SphynxUK]

Nope, I like it.

[Angel_123]

in between depends

[ThoughtfulSoul]

Not really.

[Wise4myage]

No, I love the dark.

[crmoore]

I admire the honesty

[Agape93]

Nope

[Diya010]

Nope.
