softballgurl42 answered Monday November 14 2005, 6:53 pm: 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. [ softballgurl42's advice column | Ask softballgurl42 A Question ]

xomegaroni answered Sunday November 13 2005, 8:17 pm: 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.
