im scared in certain types of dark. like if my eyes are adjusted to the dark i'm not as scared but when its like as black as when my eyes are closed i will freak out. if it's just dark like at midnight that's not that bad for me because i'm actually used to going out at night,and if the dark isn't that dark i'm ok. a quick story:when me and my sis were little we(me,my brother,and my sis)often were babysitted by our grandparents,we also often stayed the night and slept in spare room they had. the room itself wasn't bad when the lights were off,sometimes it was almost as dark as when you close your eyes,the main thing was the hallway connected to the room that was the worst.whenever the lights turned off and i looked at the hallway it was the type of dark where if you looked at it you couldn't tell if your eyes were open or closed.since as a kid(i still have it) i had a very over active imagination and i often thought of bad scenarios that kept me awake all night.and since the hallway was connected to the stairs,my grandparents room,a bathroom,and a knitting room i often heard stepping sounds or a closing door sound that fueled my imagination. i have no clue how i got the fear of the dark
