I’ve never stopped being scared. I just go through long periods of time not being scared until, suddenly, outta nowhere, i am again.

@Firespirit I will tonight. If you guys never hear from me again, then I died ..terrified.
Firespirit · 26-30, M
@Dan193 Well at least you died being brave

@Firespirit wise words bro
I was never afraid, even as a child. At age 3 my parents would find my bed empty and me outside alone in the dark playing with my doggies.

@ProdigalSummer I feel like you probably had a happier childhood than most of us millenials
@Dan193 i like to think so and tried to mirror that same experience in my own children. Their tv/electronics time was very limited in the early years and they were encouraged to play outside as much as possible in all kinds of weather. Now that they’re older teens, they’re allowed to monitor their own time. They balance it with things like camping, hiking, and horseback riding. I think it’s worked out fairly well so far.

@ProdigalSummer Good job.

I realized I didn’t want it to have power over me... my fear that is. I want power of my fears so I decided I would not be afraid anymore... about a lot of things actually.

@SW-User how do u just decide? you tell yourself? or how the process goes?
SW-User
It made me very angry that my thoughts were controlling me. I’m strong willed and it pissed me off. When I decide something, it’s as good as done.

@SW-User gosh

Welcome it. Let it become a friend. The choice is yours.

It's not the dark that you should be afraid of but rather that which is around you even during the day.

Living alone as a single female in the pitch black of the countryside, the dark can be quite frightening sometimes. A large dog that sleeps beside me and a Colt Peacemaker on my dresser really help with that.

The only time I'm not inherently terrified of darkness is when I'm half awake and falling/sprinting to my bathroom to pee in the middle of the night.

It is important to note that I'm only terrified of darkness inside of buildings. Natural darkness is wonderful.

Dude like I was making lunch for the week a while back and I had my indoor grill cooking some meat and I was doing some steamfresh vegetables in the microwave and had pasta on the stove. The main breaker tripped at the panel and All the lights went out too. There I was, In my kitchen with nothing to defend myself against inky darkness except a wooden spoon. I was not pleased.

@SW-User What did u do? did u found a flash light? or maybe the stove.
SW-User
I cussed a lot and anxiously and slowly found my way outside
I never was, according to my parents.
