Not usually - though if I'm say, in the desert at night without any moonlight or illumination, I'll be a little spooked.

I do not fear the dark. I do not fear anything. It's darkness that fears me.

Aside from Spiders. Terrifying little bastards.

I can assume that I'm not afraid of the dark, but I love living in it. Forever. I'm the dark.

Its not the darkness we fear so much as what we perceive or believe to see

I use to have a nightlight as a kid, but as I grew up I switched to a lamp with better brightness. And yes I am afraid of the dark since something might be lurking in the dark. As of recently I been having my dog sleep on my bed giving me x2 protection and safety.

One night for absolutely no reason, I woke up in the dark and some very cold water was dripping out of the air con in intervals.

The dripping stopped after ten minutes.

Then it never leaked again.

Air con is fine ever since and I don’t know why for that one time for ten minutes water dropped out.

It’s made me a bit nervous about sleeping in the complete dark since.

Its natural for humans to be afraid of the dark. As a species, we cannot see without good light, so our animalistic fear sets in when we cannot see. That's the reason we have lights for when it is dark.

Perfectly natural.

I’ve has some paranormal experiences, but I can’t say I’m really afraid of the dark anymore. When I was a kid sure, and i’m More alert in the dark since I can’t see, but afraid not really. Then again I live in the city, so it’s never really that dark.

Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except for Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every habitat with the exceptions of air and sea colonization.

Nothing brightens the darkness like the muzzle flash from a Colt M1911...

If you get the reference, say something please...

Though TBH OP, I do the same thing. Primarily because we've got some big fucking roaches in the basement and I've stepped on one of em barefoot... not something I ever want to repeat. That combined with our house having brown recluse spiders... and well yeah, I run like my ass is on fire up the steps out of the basement once I flip the lights off.

Not afraid of the dark unless it’s dark outside.

Interestingly enough, I more or less have an obsession with the supernatural. I read about this stuff and research it non-stop. Great fun, really. And I do believe in a lot of it.

Problem is, when the lights turn off, well, the stuff gets to your head.

A little. It's natural to be though. Our ancestors survived by always being wary of the things that could be hiding in the dark, and we retain that instinctive fear.

I have a fear of the dark in places I don’t know, and especially in basements. Probably because I don’t know what’s hiding in the darkness.

Not of the dark itself, more the inability to react as well to things that use the dark, such as muggers etc.
