Why am I scared of the dark?
99446
I am 26 years old and still afraid of the dark. I sleep well either drunk or completly exhausted.  If I am not either of those, I sleep with a light on and music playing.  The reason for me doing this is because I was molested as a child.  I later heard that many surviors also do this.  Maybe you were hurt as a child and that is something that you felt that you could control by being able to see your surroundings?  Good Luck!

If it's safe where you live, take walks with him outside in the dark.  Let him see that it's not only safe, but beautiful.  Spend time indoors in the dark with him, maybe listening to music or just talking before he goes to bed.  He needs to see that you're not only not afraid, but even comfortable in the dark, and maybe he will come to fear it less.  \n\nBut a small nightlight is also a good idea while he's learning to overcome his fear.

Should exaggerate a little bit if you want to get any helpful answers to your question because honestly I'm reading this over and over again and still don't know exactly what it is your asking...let me give this a shot tho anyway.I don't know what is causing you to be afraid but it could be something that has recently happened that was traumatic, if it is then , give yourself some time to heal, if you are seriously worried about yourself, first try talking with a close friend or relative, if that doesn't help then go see a professional and if that doesn't help then well i guess your gonna go through life being afraid of whats gonna happen and being fake to all your friends and family. Let me tell you though, trying to put up a front every waking moment isn't easy I know I do it everyday but all the things i suggested you do haven't helped me, ask this question again or add some more details.

First find an understanding of yourself. Make it your passion. Without that, you're just feeling around for something in the dark.

I dont think your paranoid. maybe  anxious because when you cant control the unknown  it will always stay at the back of your mind and it gives you a helpless feeling

You could just be in fear of someone doing that. I would suggest getting a screen for that window if you think it would help you sleep better at night, and not wake up with these feelings. There are other things you need to ask yourself: How comfortable are you in your neighborhood, Are you in a high crime area? These are things to think about. They could be feuling your anxiety about someone breaking into your house.

I think my fear of being shocked is turning into a phobia. In highschool I went to the school nurse and asked her what in the world was going on with by body because I was continuosly getting shocked by static. She of course thought I was just trying to get out of class but honestly I still have that same problem today and I am 24. I touch everything very carefully. When I get out of the car I pat at it first and then I get out. I hate going to stores without automatic doors because I just know they will shock me. I hate this. I spend so much money on fabric sheets and softener it is pitiful. If you find out anything Please let me know. It might be some kind of imbalance with our bodies or something I don't know but I know I am tired of it.

I am too!!\n\nAs humans, we aren't meant to be nocturnal.  We have yte to evolve night vision.\n\nIt's normal to be afraid of the dark.

a lot of people are afraid to be alone.\nI'm only afraid to be alone here at night, I get all paranoid and a walk around with my gun all the time even if I'm just going to the bathroom.\nI dunno why I'm like that, nothing has ever happened, and I live in a gated community with security...

I feel scared, but not scary.  Is that what you mean?  Anyway, horror movies generally don't make me scared, because they're usually cheesy.  The movies that freak me out are the weird ones like Mothman Prophecy, The Ring, or White Noise.  It all depends on how realistic they are.

If you are already having negative feelings about it then I would suggest you do some research. It is almost impossible to accomplish if you fear it. You will defeat your own efforts. There is nothing evil or devilish about it. God gave us these abilities so that we could connect.\nlove n light\nsharon

Since I was a child I've had both good and scary experiences. The one that stands out is when I was around 13 I went to go to bed one night when I turned the light off I heard this strange breathing. Thinking it was my brother I quickly turned the light on and of course I was alone. I looked through my room, down the hall but still I was alone. I went back to my room turned the light off and got into bed. The breathing began but know it was right next to my ear. I felt the bed depress like someone sat down. I was petrified with fear. This went on want seemed like hours but it all happened within 5 minutes. Finally a large white orb appeared and out of that an angel appeared and when that happened whatever it was left. I jumped out of bed and went to my parents room and there I stayed for a week. The strange thing is my Mom had the same experience two weeks later.
