Is it normal to be at a mature and still be afraid of the dark? Because I am. Both of my parents know this so they let me keep my nightlight. I think both of them know. Anyway I feel like it's weird to be afraid of the dark. If anyone relates please say so because I feel like I'm the only one.
Well, sort of. Humanity's common fear of the dark stems from hundreds of thousands of years ago, when our ancestors lived in the wild and were targeted by predatory animals, mostly at night.
It's probably not wise to have a full on fear of darkness, but an overall feel of unease can be quite beneficial for avoiding possible danger.
Not me though, I LOVE the darkness.
You probably aren't afraid of the dark. Just like me you probably are afraid of what's in it. My mind loves to scare me. It makes up these weird, scary, crazy, etc monsters or creatures that makes my heart beat faster and louder that makes me hear it in my ears. Idk though sometimes...
I'm 24 and I still need to sleep with a nightlight. Pure darkness gives me anxiety.
I'm scared of the dark too but the monsters my brain creates, not the dark itself really
