Fear of the darkness, the supernatural.

My sister scares darkness because of me, but shes not so afraid anymore

When you say super natural do you mean ghosts and stuff? if yes when you next feel scared of something jumping out of nowhere try having a conversation with this ghost thats what I did when i thought my house was haunted and when I got no reply I was like .. pfft some ghost you are !

Okay I think that got me scared again, lmao.

It's all mind over matter. I used to be similair, but when I was younger - I think everyone goes through a wee stage of it, but it's just getting out of it that's the problem.

Think about it, how often do you hear from your friends and family, that when they get up during the night someone attacks them or something? Never. What are the chances of it? Around 1 in 400 000 000! It's only in films all that stuff happens, and you need to remember there's a big line between films and reality!

You need to simply just face your fears head on and get over them I say. When you know your sister and parents are in bed, I say you just get up - IN THE DARK - and go to the toilet, then you'll know that if anything happens you can just shout on someone!

It really all is mind over matter, and if your thinking about how scary something is and how your so afraid, then of course your going to get even more scared! When you get up, just don't think about it! Think about something you perhaps done during the day, or about going to school or something!

Good luck, and it's really not that bad! ;]

I'm 12 and I'm also afraid of the dark. I sleep with my bedroom door open and the landing light on.

I'm not afraid of going to the toilet on my own, but I don't usually go to/attempt to go to sleep until my parants have gone to bed themselves. If only you could see the bags under my eyes =]

I'm starting to overcome my fear, because like you, I have been afraid of the dark since I was very young.

Well, the funny thing is, I like the door closed because I've afraid that something might pass by my door, haha. But anyway, I hope you can overcome your fears, like me (well I'm trying, haha).

I'm like 10x worse than you. And my bedrooms downstairs etc etc. I watched the hills have eyes last night and even though that isn't creepy it scared the hell out of me :x Just try to think its not real and that everything is the same in the dark as it is in the night cos it is

The hills have eyes?? I watched that and I loved it. The thing tht creeped me out was that fat guy wit the large saggy head who went in the wheelchair.

On topic, I think you should really try and face your fears head on, like try and go to the loo with the lights out or sleep in the dark, the way I did it when I was younger was just doing it, but turning the light on if I got really worked up.

Yer, that would have freaked me out at night

I looked at it at night and It did make me jump lmao (wuss)

[omgabear]

If you do get attacked by a ghost challenge it to a beat boxing competition. You may not be good but ghosts cant breathe so you'll win.

Then they get upset, you cheer them up make love and become best buddies.

Happy?

[Lindzi]

I'm not going to lie.

Your going to die, painfully, by a ghost ripping your face off....

^^^
odds of what I just said happening are slim to none, dont worry your not going to die... anytime soon.

Unless he gets hit by a bus ...But thats not the supernatural
