Are you afraid of the dark?

[Cailey]

Always have been, always will be......

Now I’m talking PITCH dark with no sign of light though. Not when it’s a “calming dark” with little candles and things like that.

I literally cannot sleep in the pitch black dark unless someone else is sleeping with me or at least in the next room or something. I get so scared and my mind plays tricks on me and makes me believe I am seeing things in the dark.

If someone isn’t sleeping with me / in the next room I have to have my salt lamp on or the bathroom light or something. I’m such a baby ;;

[allainah]

i live alone but I always have my door open so my cats sleep w/ me and i'll keep a nightlight on

I had been afraid of the dark for very long, probably longer than all my mates.
Despite this I used to stay up til 1am watching shows about real stories of people getting lost and/or murdered, and then I was frightened to walk down the corridor to my room. In fact I used to run and to always keep my back to the wall. LOL.
Don?t laugh XD, but what happened to me is that I read Divergent when I was eleven and at the time I used to like it a lot. In the books there are four factions which are: the clever ones, the brave ones, the altruist ones and the honest ones.
I wanted to be a true member of the one of the brave ones, then I started to face each of my fears XD
It can sound silly, but it worked, since now I don?t have the heart of a rabbit like I used to. Lol.

Ok, you’re adorable lol.
When you said back to wall I totally giggled because I always did the same exact thing!

Only when its in the middle of the ocean.

I used to be so deathly afraid of the dark when I was younger because I'd always use Ouija boards with my cousins (im stupid i know) and I couldn't sleep without any light, and I would have to cover up all my mirrors at night hahaha.
Now I can walk around in the complete darkness just fine.

 

[pique]

I love the dark. She's my friend.

 

[namiieco]

no i still sleep with my little nightlight on LMAO
i have this fear of someone stabbing me in the back (literally) and whenever i sleep on my sides i have to be able to see behind me

 

[Buttonsy]

I definitely do. The only reason I felt motivated to work on it was because sleeping with the lights on was messing with my head and I was having trouble consistently keeping lamps or night lights around, but even then I am still pretty fearful and would like to get a soft lamp or night light again soon.

 

[Soigne]

I’m not but my boyfriend is.

 

[idiotdoomspiral]

sometimes. it depends how tired i am because i usually see things

 

[Hanzoisbae]

The dark is calming

 

[cornimer]

Kind of? I'm not afraid of sleeping in the dark (I can't sleep unless it is pitch darkness) but I am afraid of being awake in the dark. I'm always afraid there is someone lurking where I can't see. If I'm up at night and hear noises, I'm convinced there is someone in the house. Especially if I have to go to the washroom in the middle of the night, I literally start shaking. But I just feel better if I'm in bed for some reason

 

[That Marshal Fangirl]

Yes? I mean I get scared if I stare into it but if I'm in bed with my eyes closed it's fine.

 

[tiffanistarr]

I'm not. Darkness is merely an absence of light.

 

[Oblivia]

The dark is kinda my enemy in the sense that I'm night blind and tend to crash into obstacles in dim lighting, but generally speaking I actually enjoy darkness. I find it soothing and calming.

 

[Bcat]

Only after watching a scary movie

 

[Alienfish]

Yes, if you mean going into like a large ass house that is totally dark and you have no idea where you are or what it is. I do need the darkness to sleep though, I can't stand like flashing TVs and stuff when I sleep.

 

[tybalt_cake]

I love the dark. She's my friend.

same.

Back when i was 6-8 years old i was scared of dark and i had to leave my TV turned on or have a light on but nowdays i actually kinda like it????

 

[betta]

no I'm not afraid of the dark lmfao, I can sleep in pitch black but since I'm a fat mf & like to snack in the middle of the night, I need to see lmfao so I keep like a little blue light next to me
