The Dark

[Ino]

Even though I'm a teenage at the age of 14-1=My age, I'm afraid of the dark and I sleep with a nightlight. The reason I'm scared if the dark is because my friends forced me to play this game called Scary Maze. I played it until I got onto the hard level. I accidentally touched the wall and then POP! Emily Rose popped out of no where screaming. I screamed in my Computer Lab room and everybody looked me crying and suffering from the horrible Emily Rose. What can I do to keep myself not looking at creepy things such as...her?

Being afeared of the dark is natural. Just carry a big flashlight with you everywhere you go.

Don't worry about it. i'm 18 and afraid of the dark... i also have a night light... I'ts natural to be afraid of the dark. It's the only place where you never know if something will pop out. It's the body natural defense mechanism to keep you safe. At least your not me and watch people play extremely scary video games.... for hours on end..... one after the other... and then watch a scary movie or two then try to go to sleep... when you also have an over sctive imagination... and a good one at that.... I hate my brain.

Scary video games?

[Ryuuzaki]

I have personally never been afraid of the dark, not even when I was little, but, what I would do is one, stop watching/playing/reading anything that would be you consider creepy or scary, keep a light on in your room (like you do), and, keep in mind that the dark is just the same as the light. Nothing changes, except what your eyes can see.

[Ino]

Thanks for the advice guys. :D

[Kenshy]

Why are you afraid of the dark? Do you live in Murderville? Are you in a cabin in the forest? I usually go game hunting at night in the Autumn. Nothing like it! Except when it's raining.

[jamjfly]

I am not afraid of the dark, I love it. Darkness is my favorite thing because I like the night, and hate the sun. But, I hate scary movies, so for a long time, I was just like you are now, sooner or later you will overcome the fear. I just started thinking about something else, and the scary thoughts went away, and I wasn't scared of the dark anymore. And like lee said, it is natural, but you will soon overcome the fear.

[RavynMK]

Anything Resident Evil or Silent Hill as well as Parasite Eve and Eternal darkness: Sanity's Reqrium(SP?) they all scare the jeebers out of me....

[saprintha]

i'm afraid at times, but just wait for a little while, and you'll get over that kind of scary stuff. i played the maze, and yeah i was scary.

[analogZero]

If you're afraid of the darkness then... close your eyes!!!! [lol] :o.o:

I'm scared senseless for every 1/8th of a second that I blink.

Nyctophobia, if there's a word for it, then you're not alone, Ino!
when the lights go out, you're not alone either, mwhahahaha!

[Koopaking]

I live in a dark enclave of a remote craggy mountainside cavern, so I had become accustomed to the darkness long ago. What's that? How do I get internet out here? Such questions are best left unanswered... Best left unanswered... Best left unanswered...

Well, if someone feels comfortable sleeping with the lights on.. then it's ok.
But the energy bill "hurts" ^^

If you ever pass by someone who screams bloody murder every 10 seconds or so, it's just me....and I'm fine.....til I blink again at least.

[sousuke]

[analogZero]

it's easier for the evil spirits to "get to your head" when it's dark ;D

[spirit]

it's easier for the evil spirits to "get to your head" when it's dark ;Dhaha..... did someone just call me? ; D

[leerock89]

I like the night time...more parties...more fun. Daytime is meant for those serious worker type people... then again bad thing lurk in the dark too..

I am not afraid of the dark, I love it. Darkness is my favorite thing because I like the night, and hate the sun.

I am like you a Darkness creature ::D: i love the Darkness and i don´t like much the light.

Personally I am afraid to the people because they can cut you or hurt you. But the darkness or ghosts it cannot damage you of any form.

poltergeists can. so can chuds and gremlins.

[krazykandy]

14-1 so ur 13?
anyways it is totally natural for one to be afraid of something.... i myself am afraid of heights......when i was in wisonsin i went with my family to a watch tower and i couldnt get myself up to the top i ended up breaking down crying
the best way i can figure of getting over your fear is to gradually face ur fear

When i see a poltergeists i can believe in that, but i never see that manifestations.
and ::D: LoL i thin´k i have fear to the chuds and gremlins. Hahahaha
No i lie that gremlins are funny lol
I like more the critters than the chuds and gremlins

[Koopaking]

Dust Bunnies. Under your couch, beneath the fridge, in your dryer. There is no escape. Far worse than any spook or spectre. Run, run, run far away.

Finally, someone that loves darkness as much as I do.

I used to sleep with a nightlight, but I got over it. I know sleep with a small baseball bat near my bed. That way, if anyone tries to come into my room, they'll get a butt whoopin'.

As long as you've got a sizable number of lint wolves you need not be afraid of dust bunnies.

[chocolat12]

im afraid of the dark too...

i get afraid a lot..

but im not afraid anymore because you have to close your eyes and when you do its gonna be dark sooo...

im not sure how to cure that sorry

[Mcrgrl1]

Its very natural to be afraid at the dark... im terrified of it:o.o: But when its dark and im by myself i just think of good memories... and happy places ... and faces and that cheers me up and comforts me. next time you get scared just review all the good highlights of your life and good memories, you know the ones that make you laugh and smile. It works for me... i just hope it can work for you too :happy:

[Acess]

complete oposite for me O_o i was young and excited about entering haunted houses and such, obviously you jump once in a while if something surprises you, but i havn't really been afraid of that sort of stuff :serious:, to tell you the truth i love walkin during the night around 4am, its quiet, dark and no ones around, also love heading down to the country and sitin outside in the pitch black, lookin at the stars / moon - wicked sight!

Am i crazy? LOL :dancing: :ramen: :scaried: :fruit:

I can be scared of the dark once in a while, as well. When you're scared of something, I believe the human mind has a tendency to envision the worst, especially when there's a mystery. (Ex. A very dark corner with a hat rack that has an ominous shadow).

Obviously, the worse things you have seen in life, on television, video games, what have you--you will experience worse conclusions, and get an unavoidable feeling of dread.

The very Best way to solve this is to have someone with you. This someone could be a parent, a friend, or even your pet. You talk to them and they talk back, your mind is diverted and suddenly fear evaporates.

When that isn't always an option--say at 3 a.m. and you need to walk down the dark hall to get to an equally dark bathroom with a light switch halfway into the trek. You can do one of two things.

First, you can run as fast as you can and let your eyes wander everywhere as you leap for the switch as if your life depended on it.

Then you flip that switch and stay there for a few minutes, because you know you've angered the spirits/monsters/zombies now, and they're currently waiting for an opportunity to attack from the scattered shadowed rooms and corners. From that point you solemnly make a trek to that toilet...slowly, you dash the last few steps and look around. You then finish your business and throw yourself down the hall again and jump into your bed, cover yourself up, and stare at the door for another five minutes.

Now, your second alternative is to think about your future, and how you'll be walking into a lot of dark places in your life. Accept that the shadows are there--and even if it sounds foolish--affirm it into your mind that NOTHING IS THERE. Mentally laugh at yourself and walk surely, don't even look at corners. Keep saying "Nothing is there, that's childish."
You then do your business, break your cool, and dash back to the bed and stare at the door because you angered the spirits/monsters/zombies with your insolence. Good night.
