Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

Nope not scared... I go all the way downstairs(3 flats) In the dark without being scared. My sisters call me freaky :/... I wish I could have place to myself. Would be cool, you can do anything u want without being told off but i do enjoy being around my family.

It depends.. in my own house, yeah and more so at night...... but in my flat, not so much except if I start imagining terrible things.. but you have to consider that this is South Africa.. we live in fear all the time :skeleton:

:w:
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

I voted no, who could possibly come? (lol. Now, some of you will tell me a spooky story ;D) A scary feeling does "enter" me at times :hiding:

Well well... I might get paranoid if i hear voices more than once

But I really enjoy being alone. It's soooo fun, you can do whatever you want! No need to worry abput my brothers being there, haha. Aww :statisfie.. Now I'm starting to miss the mood :hmm:

Rofl! When I was living with my bro and his family, that's exactly how I felt!

I'm currently living with my father and it's all good. Most of the time, I am home alone as he will be out with his friends, or I will be out for work or with friends.

But ... if you were to tell me to stay a few days alone in my grandmother's house ... then ... I'd probably say NO WAY! It's the creepiest place I've ever lived in!

oh i wish i could live with my grandparents again (well at least stay there a lot) my grandpa was my hero. i mean grandma was awesome too but my grandpa was full of such passion he was infectious. he was hard working and honest and demanded everyone to be the same. we used to wake up at 5 every morning and i would help him feed the horses and chickens and stuff. i was little so he use to have to break apart the hay bails just so i could carry it. (they are really heavy)

we used to take off on the weekends and go fishing and four wheeling through the woods. and i would sit on the floor and listen to him play the steal guitar. he played beautifully even with his handcap (he lost some of his fingers at the logging mill)

unfortunatly my grandfather passed on a few years ago. what i would give to live under his roof again.

sorry off topic i guess but home alone doesnt scare me. but if i had a choise i would rather live there again.

Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

NO i don't get afraid. i like to have the Qur'an recitation playing and lying down on my bed and thinking about Allah and pondering over his creation. i always do that when i am alone. i think a lot

wa`alaykum salaam wa rahmatuLlaah

Ah I love dark rooms - no distractions
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

I'm absolutely positive my parents' house has some spiritual activity going off. There have been a few strange things happening. The living room can be a little nervy if you are alone in that house but scared...? Pffft..!!
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

I was never afraid of being home alone. The neighbors seemed to get a little worried though whenever they found out I was home alone. I was one of them geek type kids with a chemistry set. Back when I was a kid chemistry sets had a bit more stuff than the ones of now. We had all of the good stuff like powdered magnesium, red phosphorous, strontium nitrate, all the goodies for making bigger and better fire works.
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

i used to be more scared wen i was younger though :)
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

Nope, I'm not afraid.

Just wondering, what compelled you to make this poll?

lol :ermm:

Well, I was home alone and I heard some ruffling. Literally my heart jumped lol, until I noticed it was just a plastic bag behind me. Talk about paranoid, eh? ;D

But nah. Alhamdulillah, I just say my duas and go on back to my laptop. :D
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

I just turn the TV on when I'm home alone. The eerie quietness is quite disconcerting. With the TV on, providing some background noise, I feel fine :).

Btw, did you email me back regarding MLIO? I'm too lazy to check my email, lol.

Yes Indeed I have. I replied to it as well. Perhaps I'll give you a call tonight?

Steering back to topic before AabiruSabeel or Abd al Latif comes after me... I usually keep the hallway light on. Just in case, that way I can see shadows and all. I'm NOT paranoid! I sometimes enjoy the peace and quiet of being home alone. It's a pleasant feeling and a nice change once in a while.
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

I jump at the slightest sound and then my blood goes cold and I freeze. One night I heard a bang and sure someone had broken in, I dialled 999 and told the officer to stay on the phone while I checked lol! ;D

I've hammered a long fat nail in my bed room door frame and every night I twist it so that no one can get into my room without a bit of force, so as to give me enough time to grab my pepper spray from under my pillow (or from under my bed if it's rolled off which it occasionally does).

Beside my bed is my landline hand set and mobile fone... just in case one fails lol. :giggling:

I keep a torch in case there is a power cut/ or I dunno in case I have to blind a burglar. :phew

I have an air-rifle which I keep meaning to load and keep by my bed. But with a young son, I can't risk having loaded weapons around the house. BEWARE OF THE RIFLE!

When my son stayed at his dad's I slept with the lights on.

If I have to go downstairs in the night. I peek over the banister to make sure there is no one there. Even then I sneak downstairs ready for a confrontation with a burglar. Occasionally, I feel strong enough to ask them if they'd like a cuppa and tell me why they feel they have to do this lol.


Do I sound scared to you? :?


What do you expect after witnessing four burglaries in my life? :mmokay:

BTW, did I mention I have an ADT alarm system and a panic button? ;D

Well nothing is guaranteed 100%. So one has to have some back up at least. :shade:


On a positive note, when I make lots of dhikr I don't feel scared at all. :statisfie

.... *cricket chirps*

I have no comments for you, Sister. No comments at all. :X

Except for the fact that you should consider being a security officer. :X And I thought I was paranoid. Hmph.

I have basketball practice at 8:30pm (my time). So, 7-8 would be good for me. Are you free then?

Sounds fine by me. I might or might not, depending on my mood lol. Otherwise, I'll call you tomorrow. Hope that's okay. I suppose you'll reconsider working with a moody person in the future. :p
