Am I truly that strange???

[critter crazy]

Phewwww.....thank god I am not alone!!! I am a freak when it comes to being alone, and the Dark!! i am terrified of the Dark, I am almost 30 yrs old, and I am still petrified of being alone in the dark! I dont know if it stems from Growing up in a bad area of L.A. or what. I too constantly check rooms, lock doors windows, as well as leave lights on. I dont like taking showers while home alone either, i always hear things when I do, and just get freaked out!!

I have no Idea how the heck I managed 11 yrs in The Military!!! Must of been that M-16 by my side, that made me feel safe!!

Hey, you're not alone mate....believe me.
I have two Jap swords, one under my bed, and one in my office, and I know exactly how to use them.
Ya can't be too safe these days.

I am paranoid about doors, and I will NOT open a door without looking through a window AND the peep hole, and if I cant see anything then, I line up all the dogs in a stay by the door, with the exeption of one dog, and I will hide behind the door as I open it, sending out the one dog to check things out. lol, but only Certain dogs, Usually Misty, as I know I can trust her, but sometimes Happy, athough she usually wont get upset with with anyone unless they try to assult me or someone she knows.

Nope, you aren't weird, I do it even in the daytime. Tell hubby you're being cautious cause you know how lost he would be without you, he he.
Loved all those responses....especially the one who said to quit smoking, that was so funny.

After 10 pm...strange? I must be one big wierdo lol. Working nights, it isnt unusual for me to hit Wal-Mart at 3 am on my days off. Sure there may be some whackos out there, but nothing stranger than what I see on the road DURING my shifts

I keep a flashlight handy on my keys, and even though we have a gated apartment complex I check my car before I get in it. There have been a couple of times my neighbors have found strange people IN thier cars at night.

According to the police here, you're just as likely to be attacked by some jerk during the day as at night. If someone wants it bad enough, it doesn't matter if people can see or not. I guess its part of living in a place where almost everything is open 24 hours.

I go out all the time at night to movies, dinner, going to see friends. I have friends that work in grocery stores, malls, and they leave at midnight, one or two o'clock if they stock. That's life in the grown up world. You have to be able to function at any time of night or day. Have to work, go to school at night, shop. Life doesn't stop when the sun goes down.
A lot of nurses work 3 pm till 11 pm and do there grocery shopping late.

Would it be at all possible for you to be any more condescending?
