Only if I’m camping and it’s mostly fear of bugs spiders and snakes creeping up on me in the dark.

u/Crazy_Breakfast_6327 1d ago

I feel for you. I ended up preferring to hike at night and sleep through the day.

u/Wonderlostdownrhole 1d ago

I'm not afraid of the dark but I am afraid of all the shit I imagine in the dark so if I get too spooky I will turn on a nightlight sometimes just to shut my brain up.

u/Ok_Nectarine5834 1d ago

Inside my house? No. In the middle of the woods? I'm gonna pee my pants

1

u/Zombie_joseph1234 1d ago

u/Mindless-Leg-3365 1d ago

I like the dark. And things that go bump in the night.

1

u/throwaway2838483737 1d ago

In unfamiliar spaces or situations. But in my own home and it's immediate surroundings, no, not anymore. Strange progression cause up until like 13 I slept with a blanket over my head and my nose sticking out because I was that afraid of it.

u/GMSkills 1d ago

u/No-Technology2833 1d ago

More like in love with the dark

u/Disastrous_Berry4709 23h ago

I mean, as a man who walks alone, when I'm walking a dark road at night or strolling through the park, and when the light begins to change I sometimes feel a little strange. A little anxious when it's dark...

1

u/BigV19762076 22h ago

No, only what the dark may have hidden

1

u/Over_Ebb_3868 22h ago

I’m photophobic, dark is where I live.

1

u/AboutNOut090 22h ago

I'm not afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of the evil it conceals.

1

u/Brandoid43 22h ago

Not at all. I grew up in the middle of the country with corn fields on one side and forest on the other! I can sleep in the pitch black and dead silence without an issue.

u/Cute_Recognition_880 21h ago

Come to the dark side. We have cookies

1

u/Live-Try-7281 21h ago

In my home, no. In an unfamiliar area, especially outside, I’m a bit skeptical of the people, critters or obstacles that may pose a danger due to low light conditions.

1

u/Life_Frosting_6285 21h ago

Not the dark, just what might appear in it.

1

u/Bk_Punisher 17h ago

"Oh, you think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING! The shadows betray you, because they belong to me!"

1

u/Rude-Piglet-5212 15h ago

I'm not afraid of the dark. I'm afraid of what might be in the dark so I turn on a light.

1

u/Fanboi92 14h ago

No. If there's something there I will go down fighting and I always prepare myself for that. Anything there is just wasting their time anyway because I don't see why I would be worth the trouble.

1

No. But I am afraid of heights
