Not to say it wouldn't be cool, but you'd still have to worry about not getting shot or eaten by cats :P

Maybe. But maybe I'll be an eagle or albatross, or another bird that's not hunted. And is not eaten by cats or another animals.

When I was a child, I used to be afraid of the dark. And then later I was more afraid of when it was too bright. Maybe now I'm not afraid of either.

Same, and I also used to be plagued by nightmares in my early years, almost every single one ending the same way. I'm just so glad they suddenly stopped at some point after I grew up. Other people experience a great deal of things in their dreams, but me? Well, I was never lucky enough to experience something pleasant... I don't recall ever being able to control myself in them either, they felt like I was living in a movie and everything was pre-programmed.

 

I am no longer afraid of the dark these days however, in fact it's quite the opposite. I also fit very well under this definition.

I also was afraid of the dark as a child, I couldn't sleep in total blackness, I needed a light source somewhere to make me feel secure. 

 

By growing up living more in the night, I began to like the obscurity when outside, today I really like going out for a walk and stuff in the night.

I almost accidentally elected myself to a local government committee.  It was a "the top X vote getters get the seats" type election, and only one name was on the ballot.  I wrote myself in, and lost by 4 votes.

Pretty much the same, if there was no lamp or something turned on in the room before going to bed I couldn't sleep, or just try to fall asleep immediately.

 

An odd fact, around that time I was also afraid of looking into mirrors. Every time I went to the bathroom at night I used to put one of my arms around the face so that I could see only what was right in front of me (toilet in this case) and nothing around. This is something I can't explain, never been able to figure out what made me so afraid of them.

 

Night time is great for walking, especially during spring and summer when the nights are conveniently warm, or for doing something you enjoy in general. Quiet and liberating, hearing the sound of leaves being moved or blown by the wind, but you can get pretty much the same or a similar experience during autumn and winter as well, if not even more. I've sit down on benches on alleys full of trees in the park nearby a couple of times during the last autumn and it's amazing to look at the endless ocean of stars between the empty arms of the trees when the time is right.

Currently thinking about making Doom maps that follow floor maps of real-life houses and mansions to the exact point, in a 1:1 scale, then filling those maps with monsters, ammo and all things Doomy. An idea I don't want to make a thread of is what I wanna ask: Do you think, that, if you ever are given a floor map of a modern spacious house, that you could make a good Doom map out of it? Could you make an entire megawad with using real life floor maps as a base for the maps themselves? If so, boys we have another community project :D

 

Relating to the topic: I never was really afraid of the dark, just was afraid the "unknown things lurking in the dark", but I kinda grew out of it I guess. I still love having light rather than darkness; you see, a lot of stuff I can do get "halted" by a sudden lack of light, and I prefer to dodge the "screen" whenever possible. When its night, its night, and it's time to get some sleep, even if it is maximum 6 hours due to exams fucking me up :(

Partying outside in the night is pretty cool, walking without people's annoyance is liberating, blasting some metal at 3AM with speakers is so fun lol.

And don't forget starting a campfire at a friend, I did that a couple of times and it was awesome, even if it wasn't out in the wilderness but who cares.

In a way that I'd wait until sun had started to set before even thinking about going out. I still do it, usually just not much reason to go out during the day. If I have to go out during the day, I'm not so stressed and panicked anymore.

I guess if you can blur your vision/unfocus your eyes (I can), it looks sort of like a vagina...

I'm far sighted and my left eye is weaker than my right and when I take my glasses off and close my right eye that is sort of but not really what it looks like. Google needs to work on the kinks of their pornography detection algorithm if it's just as reliable as someone deliberately worsening their eyesight in order to make something that isn't naughty vaguely resemble something naughty.

Same once again, but not always doing it, and when I do, I don't know the reason why I'm doing it in the first place.

 

I usually look either around or in the distance when that happens.

I dunno, maybe I don't like the close visual contact, even with friends some times. I just look around or on the floor, I always wondered how it was for other people to talk to me haha, but whatever I don't care lol.

I have to force myself to do this, for some reason it's expected of you even though most people don't do it themselves. I think it's a survival carry-over, most people will look away if you look them dead in the eyes. Humans are strange creatures.

That sound pretty fair to me actually, at least you made me feel a bit less dumb on that one.

I always make sure that I am looking at someone while I'm speaking to them. I don't think it's necessary to look at someone when you're not the one talking. Unless one or both of us are doing something else while we are speaking; it's probably not the best idea to turn and look at someone I'm conversing with while driving...
