you know, it's funny. I have a sister who is only a year younger than me but is totally afraid of the dark. I on the other hand love darkness. It's silence i don't like.

If alone, I'm afraid being in the dark room. So, I always sleep at night in a dim light.

I can see that ^_^ i myself have always found the dark to be comforting. I can't sleep if it's not pitch black ha ha

I'm not afraid of the dark at all nor the silence. I enjoy being alone sometimes and I like enjoying the silence.

It's lucky we're all different isn't it? I like silence and get quite stressed if there is continual noise going on.

I am a grown woman and I can honestly say that I will always be afraid of the dark.

Nothing wrong with that. It's a very common fear

Hi Ginger.... I believe all have a point of view and way to react.... I personally like a dark room in some instances and silence in others.... It just the mood that is driving us....It is not the darkness but the unknown that pushes things.... Keep shining and smiling.... Happiness Always :)

Some people are afraid of darkness, this kind of phobia is called "Nyctophobia". There phobia has something to do with their childhood memories. I do not like darkness, though I am not afraid of darkness because I know that there is always light after end of a tunnel. I am very comfortable if there is complete peace. What about you?

I don't like it so I keep a small light on and always have my furry cuddle buddy for backup.

Then, tell us please, why have you named yourself nightmares?

CandyNightmares. Hmm i suppose because i like the contrast of the two words. Also for me, i don't really have nightmares. Not normal ones anyway. Any "Nightmares" i do have sort of end up like this warped reality semi Alice style dreams. That or my dreams are so good that i hate waking up from them. A sort of "kill them with kindness" sort of deal ha ha. My name also describes my personality. I love cute sugary things like glitter and kittens but I'm also drawn to dark and twisted things lol

I used to be like that but it doesnt seem to bother me anymore but I don't like it when it's super quiet I have to have the radio on at least low or something.

I think for me it depends on where I am at. If I am familiar with the place I'm comfortable, but if not..I'm totally afraid of the dark. Lol! I don't like the silence either. My mind plays tricks on me and I think I hear something lol.
