Yah, I hate that dark outside, light inside shit. Can't see outside. I always have my blinds down IRL. Don't want those creepers looking inside the house.
I had a stalker irl a few years ago, one of the things he would do is hang out somewhere near my house out of sight and peer through our windows all day and night, then call the house and describe what we were doing at that exact moment and how he was going to use that to his advantage to rape and kill me. He'd call the house every 5 mins, and we had to have an answering machine/recorder pick it up for evidence so you were forced to listen to it. My parents got blinds for most the windows after that which I always keep closed. After the guy went to jail finally and my parents would open a lot of the blinds and took some down but I'm still extremely uncomfortable with any windows at all. I don't go near them and keep my own always shut tight.
A few months ago at work I got moved into a new office with a giant picture window which I always keep the blinds shut and it drives my co-workers nuts since the giant window is considered a perk - but I dont like the idea of someone being able to look at me or watch what I'm doing without me knowing (it's ground level).
