Who's not afraid of the dark? Try walking down the street without lights, you don't know who you will bump into.... Actually is not dark that really scares me, it's the lizard, family of lizard. Gecko eeeoowwww, if this sticks to your skin this will hurt you a lot. I really don't like the look of it, the way it moves, even if its plastic or whatever as long as it looks like lizard, i really don't like it.

hahaha. Being barefoot in the dark the worse. Instead of Legos, it's wall-corners for me, though.

I'm very afraid of the dark. I guess it's only natural to be afraid of the unknown, you know? Like not being able to see what is coming and then your brain starts to imagine things that scare you even more.

Don't be scared.if you can't control it then atleast try to normalize it as much as you can,because fear can cause you many diseases and mental sickness.so be chill and live carefully.!

i'm not afraid of the dark really but if i am all alone in the dark i can get a little freaked out sometimes. my mind will start playing with me and i'll think i am seeing things. so i started freaking out a little. i don't like being in the dark at all... but i can do it if i have too and if i am not alone then i am perfectly fine. the only time it freaks me out is if i am alone.

I live in London so the dark is something we don't really get to see but my parents live in the countryside in a village with no streetlights. When I stay with them I really hate it if I'm in bed and it's so dark I can't see my hand in front of my face. I usually need to keep a light on outside the room...

No,not afraid of the dark, but I do feel funny being at home alone.I am not afraid of sleeping alone.I need complete darkness to sleep and always sleep in total darkness the darker the better.I get scared staying alone in the dark or the house after watching scary movies. I'm trying to shy away from horror movies.

Hi kailah OH yes Im afraid of those lizzards or any other creatures that crawl around like that. I do have some kind of light on at night when going to bed. I have always been this way. I have to see the doorway to my bedroom or I can't fall to sleep. I guess I will always be that way. Have a great day and keep smiling.

Ha ha ha...I am kind of afraid of our own kind. Dark is not that scary as the people who commit crimes and try to take advantage of innocent people caught on an ill-fated day. I haven't been invovled in any such thing as yet (touchwood) but have got friends who have experienced stab wounds from a total stranger. He wasn't even demanding any money. Its just his bad luck and another drunken night for the attacker, I guess.

I'm not normally afraid of the dark. It just really depends on where I am. If I was at home, I'd be fine but if I was in spooky places in the middle of the night, I would most likely be shaking like a leaf.

I am afraid more of the unknown. If I know what is in that dark, I am not afraid of it.

Hi, kailah I am not afraid of the dark. But I am scared of lizards dark or not. I felt one crawl on my arm one time and I really really hate the feel of it. Have a nice day!

No street lights???? I guess you will have to wait for the full moon and a clear night. Those lizards are just as afraid of you as you are of them. They are cold blooded so go on a cold night and they can't move very fast.

I do hate also lizard. I'm afraid of the dark especially if I'm walking alone on dark streets, afraid someone will attack me, hurt me, or worst rape me. There's a lot of possibilities will happen if you see nothing or less light. People are more tempted to do crime if it's dark. I'm also afraid of the dark when I'm at our farm, I'm scared of ghost. I encountered it several times.

It is scary walking alone in a dark street or a dark place which is unfamiliar to me. With the present criminality situation nowadays, everybody is wary of bad things that are possible to happen. It now behooves on each one to safeguard his own time, travel and goings on. Of course, if it is just within the house and I need to go out in the dark (say, to the living room to get something I left), I wouldn't be scared to do that. I know I am safe in my own abode.

the reality of fear is that you're not afraid of the dark but you are afraid of what's in it. I don't like it either because the dangers it may hold but we have to face our fears.
