Are you scared of the dark?

    I am fairly terrified of it. I'm usually fine if there's someone else with me but when I'm alone I need to make sure all the lights are turned on or else my imagination starts to **** with me...

    Is being scared of the dark something that's innate to everyone or is it just because I watched too many scary films when I was young? I find it fascinating when someone can simply walk into a dark place or sleep alone with all the lights turned off without getting scared of the darkness...

    Yes, I don't leave lights on, but I need to know where all lightswitches are, and prefer to go to sleep with at least one light on.

    I really like the dark.
    I find it peaceful. Especially walking alone in the dark somewhere, like woods or something.
    (I'm not being sarcastic btw incase it looks that way!)

    Don't tell the other skinheads that. They could take away a stud from your denim jacket.

    That was a joke, or an attempt at one anyway. I hope no African members were offended. Thank you. That is all.

    Being alone in dark woods would be like an absolute nightmare for me...
    Would constantly be thinking of something like in the Blair Witch Project or some vicious animal that's stalking me all the time waiting for the right moment to pounce upon and eat me!

    Doesn't bother me sleeping in the pitch dark, wouldn't have all the lights in the house off at night or any shíte like that though!

    Too late now, give your bank details to the nearest Nigerian as a punishment.

    I would be like that myself, I love going hunting in the dark. Then again I have a rifle or a shotgun with me so nothing to be afaird of. However, I find the darkness very tranquil, even in the house I perfer the lights off.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,750 ✭✭✭iDave


    Yes the bogeyman or men thrive in the dark


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 972 ✭✭✭supernova84


    I live in a cave. It is dark. Come join me please.

    I'm not afraid of the dark unless my eyes need to make use of light. Panic stations if I need to piss during an outage though..


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,627 ✭✭✭Lawrence1895


    Decades ago, the dark was named after me, but I had to change my name, because I don't like the limelight :D

    You have to remember that it feeds on your fear, if you get scared it will attack


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,568 ✭✭✭candy-gal1


    Yep but only if im going to sleep and if im on my own, I need some kind of light whether its my actual light, lamp, laptop or TV, then im fine. :o:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I don't really mind it, it's peaceful. I went on the ghostbus tour the other night and we were walking around an old graveyard in almost total darkness, it was so awesome


    Also I need total darkness to go to sleep, it wrecks my head when someone leaves the bathroom light on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 972 ✭✭✭supernova84


    They say the dark is the new light. Heard it on the box.
