Maybe because you watch a scary movie or something before you go to bed or maybe it's because you imagine there's something scary in the closet! I sometimes get scared by the scary movies I watch.Hope I helped and good luck!

Everyone is afraid of something. It natural to be afraid of the dark because we can't see things. Humans are extremely cautious when it comes to things we can't see or understand. Don't be afraid to turn on some lights. Or bring a comfort object, like a pillow or a teddy bear. I know I still have to hug my squish pillow every night.

well no a lot of people are afraid of the dark (including me) well you are not crazy you just have to get over your fear

im like that too sometimes im always afraid that someone is down there.. its not weird alot of people are like that. we think that because of all the horror movies and stuff, and besides its dark down there so you cant see anything.. i mean if you think about it anything could be down there.

First off, don't worry about it so much. Other people are afraid of the dark too. I am sometimes. Most people probably just say "ignore it" or something, but that doesn't really help. Instead, try imagining that you are with one of your closest friends. Someone that you always feel safe and comfortable with. Imagine that you two are BOTH going downstairs laughing the whole way. Just imagine that they are there with you. Hope this helps.

hi, i don't think you are are weird or crazy.have you watched any scary movies lately? b/c that could be the reason you are worried.i have the same problem at night time.its totally normal with your problem.i feel like someone is watching me too.maybe at night when you go downstairs leave a light on.because that really helps me.hope i helped. bye

OK OMG you are so freaking me out because i am same age, same gender, and kinda same problem with you. well still do but its not that bad...
well i always couldnt go sleep and i could hear the little noises like car door slamming, it was my neighbor's car but i was really scared and all that and i still do that sometimes ,but you will eventually grow out of it. i mean my family couldnt affort a thearapy so i couldnt go but you should consider it if it gets worse. and i totally get what you mean by someone watching me... it got so worse, that i had to put blanket over my whole body when it was really really hot.
so i was drenched in sweat...
but consider that and hope i helped =)

You're not weird for being scared of something.
You can't help what you're scared of.
I'm scared of the dark too and I can't help it, if anyone laughs at you for being scared then tell them to bite you. I'm sure they're scared of stuff too just not the same things.
:) don't worry about it.

No, you're not crazy or weird...If you are, then I'm crazier and weirder than you! I have to sleep with my face looking at the doorway to make sure no one/thing comes in. My closet door has to be shut. The bathroom door has to be shut. I sleep with a night light. I also sleep with my tv on. Sometimes, I sleep with my light on. I guess I'm just really paranoid but I guess it's from the scary movies and what we've heard about..Don't worry about it..just keep the lights on and/or have someone go with you. Also, when you're in the dark, your eye creates weird white images out of no where..so it's probably just your imagination. Just know that it's really nothing. Hope I helped. XOXO

Wow.. Ive read some of the responces and yes we are all like that! In fact it happens to me also.. everyone gets scares like that. Its because of what has happened to other people and you just see if off movies and such and it gets stuck in your head. You are defenetlly not crazy or weird at all. It happens to many people. You should sleep with a lamp on. I mean I hate dark any dark places I just hate it. So I always have my lava lamp on and just read a magazine or something before you go to bed. It helps a lot!! Sleep with a stuffed animal if it helps for confort! ♥ ex_oh

I had this problem, too.
Stop watching creepy movies!
Don't let your imagination run away with you. You need to be aware of your surroundings, yes, but think... WHY would someone be watching you? It helps to sing a song, or... to turn the lights on!

you're not going crazy and you're not weird. im exactly the same way, i get extremly scared if im alone in the dark, i feel like theres someone there waiting to attack me. its just the fact that you dont know whats there so your mind gives you all these farfetched possiblities and it freaks you out. dont worry about it, you're just fine.

you're not weird or crazy! lol, I'm 14 female too, and i used to to really scared when I'm walkin down a dark hall way or when I'm just in a place that's really dark. i would imagine that there's someone just staring at me. I got over the problem, i think. what you have to realize is that there's NO ONE there. no one's watchin you, no one's there. the only reason why you get scared is because you let yourself think false information. next time when you go downstairs in the dark, just dont think about anything but the thing that you're going to do. let your mind free of all thoughts and just focus on the task. if you just relax and dont think about it, then you'll be fine and you'll get over your fear of the dark
hope i helped :)

I do that too! I am afraid someones there waiting or watching me and ready to"attack"(ghosts) i dont know why i have never incondered someone or do i know someone who has! I guess its just a reaction we have? I have not yet ot find a cure i will go to sleep at night facing the door to be sure and my closest door has to be shut and I will jump on my bed at night (Just incase) Please let me know if you find a "cure" but there ist relay somthing wrong with it? I am not going crazy so your not either

hey sounds exactly like me if im downstairs or outside alone in the dark and theres no one around or everyones sleepin my heart beats like super fast and i like sprint into the house or upstairs so yeah i think im weird but thats just me cuz i feel super stupid that im like afraid someones out to get me but i think we just think to much and we really arent weird or goin crazy

You're not wierd or going crazy I promise. Some people are just naturally more anxious then others. I have a complex system of turning lights on and off when I'm walking through my home so I'm never in the complete dark and I'm not above carrying a flashlight either (and I'm years older than you are.)
The other thing that works for me is humming a song or something to keep my mind off scarry thoughts.
Yeah it's a little wierd, but it doesn't hurt anyone and it makes me feel safer.

Don't feel bad or embarrassed about it. I'm the same. Whenever it's late at night and I turn out the lights downstairs to go upstairs, I feel the same. It's not because you're crazy or weird. Well, you could be crazy or weird, lol, but from just being scared you aren't. The reason I think we are like this is because of what's happened to other people. It's not a nice world out there, and there are a lot of bad things that have happened in the dark. Plus, scary movies and things like that don't help either. They all make you think and they get you paranoid.
What may help is to put those nightlights around the house downstairs and turn them on when it gets dark. That way you'll feel a little better and they can be temporary relief until you can switch on the lights.
