It's kinda hard admitting this because I'm 16...but yeah, I'm scared of the dark.
But it's not what you think. It's not the absence of light that I'm scared of...It's what's in the dark that I'm paranoid about. This is why I prefer to be with someone while in the dark because I feel safe with someone else around.
Let's say I'm all alone at night on the computer. Since the computer is in an area facing the back door of my house, I constantly look back to see if someones there or not. I get this feeling while in bed, looking at the stairs and waiting for who comes up them, or when I'm watching TV and staring at the front door fearing at who might come in.
Yes, it's toned down since I got older but I still get the feeling while I'm alone in the dark sometimes. The fear of "who/what could be there" just doesn't go away. I've tried on several occasions to ignore the paranoia but on those tries I've failed.
So the main reason I made this thread is how can I overcome this?
