Is your house creepy at night?

[boystowns finest]

Well I'm afraid of the dark because I can't see well in it which kind of gets me on edge because anything could happen to me. I get scared easily, too.

i used to be afraid of the dark up until a while ago. then i realized that it's not the dark that puts me on edge, it's silence.
total silence gives me the loving creeps. like, even if I'm in my house and I have my fan off (which I always have running because it creates whitenoise), i'll lie in bed hearing cars go by and even that's not loud enough for me.
there needs to be sound, or else I lose my stuff and go all paranoid

Not really

I live with seven people, all of them are noisy af. At night I have the TV blaring reruns of Psych on Netflix because I can't sleep without it for some reason.

I get spook'd every once in a while because I start thinking of spooky stuff.

I somewhat have that problem too. Like, it's hard to explain, but when I'm in complete silence, the silence gets deafening. I feel pressure on my ears and sometimes I hear a pitch generated by it. Not even humming can get rid of it. It's strange.

luckily if you're blind you never have to worry about being afraid of the dark

brb putting staples in my eyes
Wish me luck brethren
jk I'm using push pins

way too far south lol

I try to avoid self-diagnosis as much as possible, so idk if it's that. It seems to be similar to that, though.
tbh, the only time I seriously self diagnosed myself was for social anxiety a little after my first few dramas for my stuffposting waaaay back in 2014, and it seems to be true because I loving hate talking out of fear of loving it up horribly and getting assaulted / expelled because of that. I think I got a little more open, though, with my close friends.
Definitely better when I had ADHD medication, which I don't want to talk about further for many reasons.

Dammit you aren't my irl bestie then >:c

adhd medication is pure filth though. i take adderall. i recently got put on a combo of adderall and sertraline (zoloft) because it was causing anxiety problems.
glad you stopped taking it. it really isn't worth it.

[Space1255]

Addderall was my medication and holy stuff I felt horrible.
I'm gonna start getting more in depth about it, but just basics.
Every little thing got to me, I didn't eat lunch, I would not talk to anyone, I never felt motivated.

>every little thing got to me
this is true. i can attest to that stuff. every 3pm the stuff starts wearing off, id get pissy as forget and lose my temper.
>I didn't eat lunch
this is a good thing for me. i eat too much
>I would not talk to anyone
this is weird. i got really socially anxious, but i'd actually talk more than before. (this is the main reason i started taking zoloft. was causing more social anxiety issues than i could handle alone)
>I never felt motivated
ya that sucks mayne but its a thing with adderall. amphetamine is some stuff

Actually wait I think the near refusal to talk was caused by me getting bullied in lower school by a bunch of richardbags who wasn't alright with my ADHD. At first they used a bit of verbal bullying and then more subtle exclusion. It worsened when they refused to pass to me in team activities in PE. Honestly, I don't know why I have friends to begin with if I don't want to upset someone close to me. Plus, if there isn't an afterlife, then I'll be forgotten eventually, and I don't want to be forgotten, but it almost always ends up like that for dead people.

Why do I do anything

Don't be hard on yourself fam. This all happened to me, too. But you have to realize the people making fun of you are doing so because, and as cliche as it sounds, they've got something missing in your life. I know this is true because I've been an starfish to people before, almost entirely because I'm insecure. You also have to realize that if dudes are making fun of you for something you can't control they really aren't getting far in life.

..and a final note if these are "popular kids" then the fact they're hitting their peak in high school/middle school is really pathetic.
