Question Posted Sunday November 13 2005, 6:48 pm

Aw,some of my friends are the same way.Its nothing bad at all!When your in a dark place just tell yourself that nothings gonna hurt you and your fine and that theres noone there.I use to be scared of the dark till I was about 10 or so but I just told myself that theres noone around me and I`m gonna be fine and then eventually I got over it!Good luck!♥

Well I'm the same way. It's because you have probably seen or heard about something that makes you think that what ever that scary thing is is there. Just think of something that makes you happy or something thats funny. It works for me. by the way a lot of people are like that so it's nothing to be embarrased about if you are.

no its not weird. eveyones scared or uncomfterable of something. actually i feel uncomfterble in the dark too, becuase you cant see anything. so then your imagination goes wild and then you start freaking out. but i guess to make the fear go away you just need to relax and not worry about it so much. i mean it sounds easyer than it seems but it will take some work.

definately not weird. don't worry about it. i'm pretty sure that's normal because sometimes i have problems sleeping & stuff over dumb things. when you're in the dark you juss have to realize it's the same as being light..except darker =) idk how to explain it. when you're sleeping, you can't see anyway, so it shouldn't really be a big deal until you wake up but then you can juss go around and do what you gotta do. age doesn't really matter though, like even though you're 13. you'll eventually grow out've it & that's all you can really do. here's a website-

that's all i can find on it, because google only has the show 'afriad of the dark' haha but anyways, juss do steps at a time. you juss have to face it & fix it.

-hope that helped!♥
