Why am i so afraid?
Answer:
I know what you mean. I stay up later than my parents and brother and sometimes I would hear noises as well. I just thought I was being very paranoid.
You really do need to tell yourself that it's all in your head. I realize that is the most useless advice that anyone's given you here, but it's mind over matter here. If you can convince yourself that your mind is messing with you, and that fear is trying to take over, you will get the idea that it's definitely true that no one's there. Subconsciously, your mind's telling you that someone is there with you when you're alone, and you need to tell yourself that no one is there. Fear is only in our minds, and it takes over all the time. That's why you're scared, and if you walk slowly to a certain destination to the house, you're slowly trying to overcome this paranoia/fear.
It's not a bad thing if you still want to think about prowlers, but it's bad if you're letting fear take over you. Just do things slowly, and try not to hasten, because it's just..letting fear take over you. I'm repeating a lot, aren't I? But I'm serious, do not let fear take over you. Mind over matter. No one's there, and your mind needs to accept that.
Nobody's there, get an MP3, put some of your fave music on and relax.
You live in a big house and in the Summer time, houses "settle" and make creaking sounds all day and night long...(you dont heat them in the day time, because of all the other noises that accompany everything in daylight, such as traffic noise and all that).
When your all alone, your imagination "sparks" up, and it goes into overdrive, (mainly because you watches spooky movies at night, I will venture), so your "expecting" something bad to happen! And when it doesnt, you start "making up" things, just to scare yourself.
How to stop being scared? I would say go to Church! Yep! By going to Church and having a firm belief in the LORD JESUS CHRIST, you will "know" that there isnt anything to be afraid of, and that you are in HIS HANDS always! It may not be what your looking for, but I know it works!
I wish you well.

haha i go through the same exact thing!! especially when im home alone too i will run downstairs if i am hungry then go back up lol, but what i do is turn the tvs on and some lights cause then you can see around. watch a movie try to get your mind off of it and if u have a dog use them as company. hope this helps!
It was because you were all alone and no one was beside you. If you start to be suspicious and your imaginary run about.
It is a normal feeling because you did not get enough sleep and your mind make you think differently.
ALl you have to do is to switch on the light when you were awake. Brighter atmosphere make you think and see clearer.
This question should be posed in the Anthropolgy section as it goes back to earlier times in history. Its a natural human reaction to the dark and unknown night. The fact that you are aware of it and realize its not realistic, you can begin to get over it. Slowly.
force yourself to stay up all night and day and then go to sleep when your family does that night. Get on their schedule.
It sounds like some form of paranoia... but I think I kinda know how you feel, I've even had experiences where I've looked at the shadow of my jacket in the dark and been all but convinced that there was someone there until realized the truth... I've also heard sounds at night and wondered what they were. I mostly chalk it up to paranoia and try to forget it. otherwise if I accept it as truth the delusion sends me all sorts of unhealthy places second, third, etc guessing this or that that is just completely unreasonable.
If you do hear something the best way to deal with it is to go and check it out I guess, so you can figure out why... many people are scared of the unknown...
You should also keep in mind to try not to worry about anything that you haven't been given an obvious reason to worry about it from...
ie. the sound of someone breathing around the corner could be a family member just gone to sleep, until you know its someone who shouldn't be there, like a theif, thats when you should be concerned.
Too much of stories and Horror movies i guess.
I don't believe in Ghosts....but for you if there are any Ghost or bad spirits why would they bother you, they can bother anyone from six billion+ people in the world.
You need to get it out of your mind
Keep lights on in most of your house for you to be comfortable at home.
I don't believe in God but if you do than atleast trust him he will always keep fearsome creatures away from you.
Cheers up now!
Try to re-direct your energy into doing productive, with music on or tv [not scary movies] and have the doors locked and curtains closed. Tell yourself it's just your imagination and move on.
