scared of dark
Iam staying with my cousin for a little while during summer vacation and my cousin who is autistic has me constantly going back and forth to my aunts house when i spend the night with my aunt with him instead of my cousin to look for movies at his house when it's pitch black outside and iam terrified of the dark and i know this may seem silly becouse iam 19 years old but we live in the country right by alot of woods and iam scared something will come out of the woods and get me and i can't tell him i'll go over there and get it in the morning becouse he's spoiled rotten and he'll pitch a fit if he dosn't get the movie he wants right then and there what should i do?
How can i get over my fear of the dark so i can go next door and get the movies for him or make him understand that i'll get it for him in the morning?
please help me.

Well, I think probably perhaps understanding why you are afraid of the dark might help. Most humans are afraid and have a right to be. Our eyesight isn't equipped to seeing in pitch black darkness. It's actually a survival instinct that tells you not to wonder out after the sun has set. It's possible in man's early days we were hunted by animals. So, it's natures way of keeping us alive. After all, you can't fight what you can't see.
I used to live in the country too and a few times I'd have to walk to my grandma's house, past an old spooky cemetery too! I was a teenager then too and it would creep me out. I guess I never really got over the fear of it but I'd always take a flash light or have someone walk with me. Maybe you could have him walk with you to get a movie also. At least then he might be able to understand what you have to do to get a movie.

I don't think you're scared of the dark, rather smart. What's wrong with fearing that someone will jump out and rape you? Just because his mom spoils him, doesn't mean you have to. Tell him if he wants something he can go and get it himself, so he can get raped while he's at it. Or just tell his mom to bring it over for him because it's too late for you to go out at your cousin's whim. You're not going there to be anyone's servant. Hope this helps <3.
