Why is darkness Scary/Creepy?

[Doron]

I like being alone in the dark because then I'm for once the brightest.

Like always

No, if someone else is there I'm not the brighter one.

Except for when I'm with you, of course.

You are a star, shining the space

i like the dark personally.

SImple: cause you have no vision "

Nightvision or thermal goggles ftw. But in pure darkness, nightvision won't work, cos it still needs a little amount of light to work.

this question is probably directed to those who have conception of the vision. If you ask a blind from birth person ...

The only thing we are naturally scared of is death. Well, pain too. Both emotional and physical. So 2 things, pain and death. We are afraid of things because they cause a negative reaction to us, often pain and death.

I'll explain. We aren't scared of heights simply because "they are high". No, we are scared of them because if we fall, we die. We are scared of snakes because if they bite us, we become ill. We are scared of being alone because it causes emotional pain and detachment. We are scared of the dark because the shit we can't see, may dam well hurt us.

Basic human instinct is to live, breed and survive. We fear things that will bring this to an end. Seems pretty darn simple to me.

I agree with this.

I used to be afraid of the dark, just a little like most people. But then I would start going out in the dark just for that reason.. And now I'm not anymore.

Only pussies are afraid of the dark.

Their vision of darkness doesn't exist.. Right? lulz

I like darkness, and silence... giving me a good chance to have a long thought.

i doubt even people who say they like the dark experience pure darkness on a regular basis. There is normally some type of artificial light where ever you are and you're normally in a familiar place.

I was out in the woods one night, the dark came faster than i thought it would so i wasn't prepared for it. Only the moon was giving light but it was still a bit unsettling to watch my ability to discern trees from bushes from different trees diminish. I have a pretty good sense of direction though so i found my way back to the road and i had a friend for company but near pure darkness in an unknown environment is still unsettling.

I still prefer night to day...just in familiar places. It's not the darkness that's scary, it's the vulnerability and the unknown.

If one doesn't have a conception of something, it's pointless to talk to him about it.

What? You got to be kidding me. Vampire does not afraid of darkness talking to myself

Well, but.. why are vampires afraid of daylight? lulz

[Swindler]

It's because you never know where pedobear is, in the daylight you see him lurk around the corners, but in dark you dont.

I think that the only thing we fear when we are born is the dark. Everything else we learn to fear through experience

lulwut? I have to completely disagree. The only thing we are naturally scared of is death. Well, pain too. Both emotional and physical. So 2 things, pain and death. We are afraid of things because they cause a negative reaction to us, often pain and death.

How do you explain this fear then?

No matter how long you and how much you pray, you're too old.
