Darkness. I think it is a common phobia, but I fail to understand why it grips me so. Its somewhat of an awkward business. With lights on, and in day by day situations, I'll be the first to deny the existing of anything paranormal and I'm a fervent believer that there is no such thing as magic and what not.
Yet as soon as I find myself in darkness, not necessarily in the confort of my own apartment, but anywhere I'm not really used to, I either become uneasy or straight out terrified. If I'm walking down an empty street around two A.M. at night, alone, I'll quicken the pace and have an eerie feeling on my shoulders. Other times, say I have to go in the backyard of my place into the shed (which I have to unlock in pure darkness, and its settled in the pitch dark, nestled between the house and the hgh cedars that enclose our backyard where no light gets there) I'll begin to shake, look around terrified and as soon as I'm done my business, I'll run right back to the house as if something is chasing me. I've tried to fight it before, heck I once went for two hour walk in the woods without a flashlight or a light in the middle of the night, figuring that by the end of it, I'd be cured. No way. By the end of it I was running as fast as I could for the end of the woods, feeling like something huge and dangerous was chasing me. Frankly I was at the point that I thought I was hearing noises. By the time I reached the end, I was beyond petrified and its a wonder i did not faint. Lol.
Needless to say, I hate this phobia. I'm a grown man, I'm 21 and I just can't help it. I fear darkness.
What do you fear?
