i scare really easily, not like if you tap me on the shoulder but i cant handle scary movies or people telling me scary stories they give me these really bad haunting feelings whenever im alone and they really freak me out i also cant stand being alone and the dark totally makes me freak..

i hate being like this but i dont know how to fix it because i dont know what it is!! is this a sickness? or am i just crazy?

Answer 1

You spent 40 weeks somewhere alone and in the dark when your mother was carrying you and nothing got to you then did it? Make a stand against this obsessive over reaction by saying"Right tonight I'm going to go to bed in the dark and alone and upon waking the next day and realising nothing has happened to me be cured of this silly over-reaction" Some times we have to be firm with our inner voice and stop it dictating to us. All the best.

Answer 2

your not crazy it happens to a lot of people, the only way to fix it is to sit in the dark, or go to sleep in it and keep thinking nothing is there nothing is going to happen cause it isnt. then as you do that you won't be scared anymore.

Answer 3

its being paranoid because of somethin scary you just watched.  i do that all the time and even close my eyes.  nothing wrong with you.  its called being freaked out.

Answer 4

i think part of it is having a really good imagination. i could think about stuff right now and get myself scared. i always had bad dreams that spooked me enough to go get in bed with my mom (like until i was 17..)

sometimes exercising or whatever right before you go to bed helps- if you're real tired it's easier to forget what's scaring you. read a book until you can hardly keep your eyes open..

Answer 5

Being afraid of the dark is an actual phobia. I am also afraid of scary movies.  I place myself in the movie as I watch.  The best thing for you is to leave a little light on somewhere.  This way you can better see and know that there is no danger.  Often the fear of dark is the fear that something out there is going to hurt you.  If this persists, you might want to see a psychiatrist to see if there are any underlying issues.

i'm not sure. Maybe you just kind of have like a phobia of these things. I'm kind of like that too, i hate being on my own. Like last night, my dad and brother went out to pick my mum up, it was about 10pm, and i was alone in the house for about 10 mins. And i hated it. I was really paranoid and like every noise i'm like freaking out. But i think its normal. Its just the way you are! Try not to worry about it too much.   :)

Answer 7

that always happens to me! whenever my friends watch scary movies i get soooo freaked out by them... even when people say they're not that scary.

what i usually do when im at a sleepover or whatever is just look below the screen or above it, so then im not actually watching it. or i always turn around to look at my friends and just smile at them being like 'ooh scary' lol. that way you remember that its not real.

DONT WORRY: you're not crazy! cos if u r that means i am too...
