Are you afraid of the dark?

[Neanderthaland]

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

...blunt objects your toe might run afoul of.

[The Holy Therns]

Yeah, I have a constant fear that something's always there.

[The Blaatschapen]

I am mostly afraid of the Iron Maiden lurking within it.

Something is always there. It would be more horrifying if you opened your eyes to a yawning abyss of absolute nothing. A void of bleakest blackness from whence nothing came, not sound, nor light, nor warmth, nor any sensation beyond total absence. The very precipice of annihilation and unreality.

But I guess spiders and things are scary too.

I see I’m not the only one

[Phoenicaea]

i ve noted i have fewer and fewer, nowadays, i had great images before, and i regret this, because i see it as a sign of a brighty mind.

the common day life damps our inner intuition, so we lose it. we can t think at these because our sclerotic mind has been occupied by noisy hurried issues society harasses us with.

[Luxcentra]

No, not really. Sometimes I think of the unexpected happening in confined dark spaces. But otherwise, I find the dark to be a little exciting.

Spiders are awesome. In the evening I start believing in ghosts instead.

I have a phobia that someone's always there

[Rojava Free State]

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.

When your sleep paralysis demons decide to waterboard you

Did you know: Thomas Edison was afraid of the dark.

[Australian rePublic]

I am afraid of the dark. Always have been afraid of the dark. My fear of the dark stems from not being able to see my surroundings, and is part of the reason why I don't like loud environments (which prevent me from hearing my surroundings). The other reason is because I am highly sensative to noise.

Basically, I am scared of not being able to my surroundings. During the day, I am less worried about noise as I am at night, but am still irritated if it's necasserily loud. At night, I want to be able to hear my surroundings, and that's the reason why I don't wear earplugs, (no matter how irritatingly loud my surroundings are)

I sleep with the curtains open (because I can't do without natural light, and the morning sun light). I've learnt to sleep with the light off, but only if my surroundings are bright enough (luckily, I live in a bright street), and only if there's someone nearby (same room or next room over), and there are exceptions (e.g. the night I found my grandma dead in her house). I have no issue with squirreling away to a dark corner if I am in a well lit room with other people who are awake, and can therefore work as my eyes. Quite frankly, I openly admit to being a nictaphobic adult, and couldn't give a shit what anyone thinks of that

[The Krogan]

Having lived in a basement for a decade with a hobbyist poltergeist, and with the only bathroom being upstairs I have to say the darkness holds little sway over me now. Though if I'm in the right frame of mind I can freak myself out still.

Interesting

[Earthbound Immortal Squad]

I remember I didn't like the dark when I was younger but as I got older I sort of liked it more because often darkness would come with silence and I liked the idea of not hearing anything else except your own thoughts (not everyone's cup of tea I know that).

The real reason the lightbulb was invented

[Australian rePublic]

No. My only concerns are rational dangers.

Actually, according to Wikipedia, we nichtaphobes aren't affraid of darkness in and of itself, which is irrational, but rather, we're scared of what's lurking in the dark

You're affraid of the amalgamation of green and blue?

[Ghost Land]

I was literally never afraid of the dark until I was eight, almost nine years old and in fourth grade when I saw a ghost show on TV. Ever since then, sometimes I worry about something or someone unexpected sneaking up on me in a dark room, especially back when I was still devoutly religious and worried Satan could come up and snatch me at any moment. Just thinking about that even now gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I think I've always been afraid of being on small or unstable platforms or at extreme heights, though; when I climb a huge lookout tower the fear is typically subdued, but if it were to jiggle in any way, I'd probably see my life flash before my own eyes.

It is likely to eat you.

I don't think Lego produces anything that can pierce through a sole.

I fear Satan, too. I am still religious, and I still fear Satan
