Achluophobia

Just wondering how many of you suffer from this?

Fear of darkness? I think so! :laughing:

By the way, SG-1 fan?

Im scared of not having a flashlight, Not the dark.

Yep!

I've never been afraid of the dark. It's the things that might be lurking in it that worry me.

I don't think.... I'm afraid of the dark. Maybe I'll never know, I always have a flashlight with me.

I move around in the dark, in my apartment, almost every day. The dark doesn't scare me. But not being able to function and do stuff, if I need to, does. Eyes are no good in the dark. And eyes are what allow me to function, mostly. That's the kind of animal I am. No light, no seeing. No seeing, no functioning. No functioning, in a very little while, no more me. Light is good.

Generally no - but when we sleep somewhere in the woods and something is walking arround you, that's scarry! I know, it's not a monster or something like that - but bears, wolves and wild boars are enough scary for me (and I can't have a weapon for my self-defense, stupid weapon laws, only the criminals have weapons here ).

And I usually don't try to light up the woods arround, it looks even more scary then .

The dark is neutral, it's what I don't know is in it that scares the living !#%^$*(^ hence the flashlight .....but I guess that would lean more towards xenophobia.

Actually, I agree with being scared of not being able to see what's in the dark. By now, I'd think the dark is scared of us!

When I was much younger I'd have to say so. . .

always been...thats what kicked off this madness

Why, I don't know!

Xenophobia is a fear and contempt of foreigners.[1] It comes from the Greek words ξένος (xenos), meaning "foreigner," "stranger," and φόβος (phobos), meaning "fear." The term is typically used to describe fear or dislike of foreigners or in general of people different from one's self.

I don't think that has any thing to do with the dark.

Flashaholics aren't afraid of the dark; the dark is afraid of us.

I don't remember where I first read that (Oddest Comment thread, perhaps?), but it's somewhere around here.
