Is it normal to fear switching off the tv?

50% Normal
6 Comments

When I am alone on my own and watching TV, all is well. However, when I have to switch off the TV and turn out the light I feel suddenly fearful and terrified, as if my loneliness is magnified out of all proportion. I feel incredibly vulnerable when the TV goes off and the silence falls like an axe. My imagination goes into overdrive, I imagine vampires and ghouls everywhere. This only happens in a certain deserted house in the countryside - almost everywhere else, I am fine.

Is it normal?

    I think TV may provide you a form of companionship, if I am correct? If this is the case I would recommend seeing other people often as this may help with your loneliness.

    I used to get like this too. For some reason I don't like dead silence at all especially when it's dark. I need noise and light especially to fall asleep.

    You should try a sound machine and maybe a nightlight to conserve energy and money instead of having your TV on all night. Also sometimes I just use my fan as a background noise.

    Vampires don't exist.... However, you may want to inform yourself about paranormal things and stuff on rationalwiki.org
    They will prove you that all this shit is not real. I once watched a documentary about illuminati or whatever, but something seemed off, so I searched the net and found rationalwiki, and those guys do great job in writing articles about these things. Since then it's one of my favourite websites, and every time something scares me or I'm worried I just check the site and inform myself about stuff and things hehe. good luck

    How would you feel about having a dog or a cat?
