Nightwalk thread?
Saw a couple of these pop quite a while ago. Why do you do it, what have you encountered while out?
I like it because it's so calm and quiet. I saw a girl swinging on some swings once before at around 1am, I couldn't get the courage to approach her though.
>>24708786
Almost got arrested when going for a jog at around 2am
>>24708831
Why? I've never had police talk to me when I go night walking/jogging.
>>24708786
I do it when I'm bored.
>>24708786
>>24708831
Same thing happened to me but I had my ear buds in and I was on a Zombie Run app (don't ask) Cops were following me for 5 blocks and I didn't even notice them.
I walk to the bridge at my college sometimes, I just stare down and think about jumping off.
>>24708786
I managed to fix my sleep schedule, so none of these for me for a while.
Vibe on good nightwalking chums
>>24708831
That's rough, it's such a comfy time to go jogging
>>24708854
How often is that?
>>24708884
There's a bridge that goes over some train tracks along one of the routes I take, maybe about 15 meters high. I dangle my legs over and wait for a train sometimes and think about it.
>>24708887
At least once every week. So not too often. Its very relaxing; I do it often when I can't sleep and don't feel like playing vidya.
>>24708831
are you black? a nigger?
>>24708786
>I couldn't get the courage to approach her though
For what purpose?
Weirdly I've never met anyone who shares my habits for taking long walks at night alone, but then ... of course it had to be, /r9k/
are we really all so alike?
Can't nightwalk where I am because too many niggers, nightbiking/nightdriving is cool though
>>24708982
hell, I dont know, just to talk and see what happened. It was probably for the best, we were both out there to get away from everything and to be alone, I wouldn't want to be approached.

So comfy. Listening to audiobooks in the dead of night is great. Mostly poetry and short stories.
There is a great audiobook of Borges' Ficciones in Spanish. Man oh man, listening to Borges alone in the dark in the hours before bed, that's something magic.
>>24709017
>tfw no license
I just want to go for a drive at 3am on some mountain road smoking cigarettes and listening to ambient music ;-;
>>24708786
I take my dog for nightly 1am walks because neither of us like people.
>>24708831
>>24709036
I'm always worried about getting spotted by cops and getting harassed. Fucking normies hate anyone who doesn't flow with their stupid program.
yup! i nightrun everynight
there's a white pickup that follows me every once in a while and i got bitten by a dog tonight but its mostly really nice, good time to listen to podcasts and stuff
>>24709030
>just to talk and see what happened
Maybe it's the scumbag avoidant autist sperg in me but. In what circumstances does it seem like a good idea to speak to some JUST because?
I'm not saying this ironically but why are you here? With the underlying traits of people here that's like the complete opposite of what would be considered a good idea.
>>24708786
Sometimes I like to walk a mile or two to this point over looking my city and smoke cigarettes. Pretty comfy t b h, at least before it got cold af
>>24709030
holy fuck lad, that sounds amazing
you've given me a new hobby this summer
>drink a six pack and go out for a walk
>no anxiety, just take in the night if I don't run into anyone
>if I do, strike up a conversation
what's the worst that could happen? I carry nothing on me when I go out at night. unmotivated murder/rape? sure but I've just as good a chance of dying right now of anyeurism
Not sure if this qualifies but a couple times a week I'll walk for about 2-4 hours in a random direction and then just take the bus back home (although I haven't been doing it as much lately cause I've been lazy). If you haven't tried it I highly recommend it. I live in LA and I've gotten to know this city inside and out (it's eh). I used to skate but then my board got run over by a bus so now its back to walking.
>>24709086
Are you a girl?
Ftb
Only done it on some occasions when feeling troubled, I would always walk around the neighbourhood and go sit by the pond for a little while.
On summers I'd try to wake up an hour or two before dawn and go cycling around the city. Empty streets, no traffic or noises, pretty relaxing to start the day off like that.
>>24709128
>what's the worst that could happen?
You get arrested for public intoxication
>>24709100
Sometimes I just want another human being to talk to me, you know?
>>24709132
nope, that would explain the truck though
i had to hide in someones porch once becasue he'd passed me like 5 or 6 times
>>24709132

Nightwalks are basically a drug time to think and time to feel
>>24709197
What eurokek country do you come from? At least cops won't just randomly murder me for walking around at night like muslims would
>tfw you're walking and there's another person walking your way
>>24709150
I mean, fuck. You can't try and empathize with me, not successfully, not with a person who hasn't spoken more than a four word sentence to people in over two months.
I stopped talking to people man, I don't mean to project my issues onto you. I apologize for that.
But when I did see reason to talk to people, I damn sure had a reason, it was never on a whim. I couldn't bear to have people spontaneously talk to me, just to kill time for themselves and ease tention that only THEY felt with nothing but menial topics to spew out, so I couldn't bear to do it to another.
Speaking without reason just seems alien to me, it always has. The urge to speak at all is understandable, but the lengths people will go to, to sate it unsettles me.
>>24709100
I am super uncomfortable around strangers and I lack good social skills, but talking with people I don't know is one of the few pleasures in my life.
When someone turns to me to make a comment in public, even just "long line, eh?" it lifts my mood. I try not to engage them in conversation when they're just making a passing comment, but when someone is talkative, old people tend to be, I like to really talk to them. From time to time I eat my food with a stranger when in a fast food/takeout restaurant alone.
Yet at the same time I have a real struggle making and keeping friends and my first response to most social opportunities is to say no.
>>24708786
I like it because it's quiet. Calm. Cold. Dark. It feels like you're the only person alive.
I struggle with anxiety, and nightwalks are basically the only times I feel like I can go outside and not be at all scared about it. I'm far more at ease going on an hour's nightwalk to the supermarket which is open 24/7 except Sundays, than 10 minutes to the nearest store which is only open during the daytime.
Strangest thing I've seen on a nightwalk is someone sleeping right at the door of a lingerie store. Wasn't sure if they were homeless or just drunk way too much that night.
>>24709190
Dude, if you're walking around drunk at night, you're going to get your shit fucked up
>>24709203
Maybe he wanted to give you a ride
Post your nightwalk soundtracks friends
Anybody else become very introspective during night walks. It's like, any other time of the day, I'm bombarding myself with some kind of media. But walking at night is like a form of meditation, always makes my mind go to interesting, and sometimes uncomfortable, places.
>>24709260
i'll bet he did
>>24709260
I'll admit I've never gotten drunk TO go walk around at night, but plenty of times I've found myself walking around drunk for extended periods of time and nothing comes of it
Mostly walks to McDonalds and back, but I never feel in danger. I'm Canadian for what that's worth. I don't feel the threat of being mugged at any moment and I've never heard of cops arresting someone for public drunkenness without being provoked
>>24709267

See, you don't want anyone to talk to you. I just want to be able to look someone in the eyes and talk about random shit. Top feel
>>24709128
I was a bit drunk while walking once and I met some skater guy called Josh and his girlfriend (I can't remember her name) and they were waiting for someone to pick them up. It was alright.
>>24709148
>not nightwalking while tripping on acid
>Why do you do it?
I feel the uncontrollable need to wander around aimlessly when I'm depressed (i.e. constantly), and walking outside is less boring than pacing between the walls of my bedroom. At night, I get the opportunity to do this without being seen, which is nice.
>What have you encountered?
Nothing. I live in the middle of nowhere in a small, boring town where nobody is out after 10PM and everything closes on Sunday.
>>24709412
Nah, deep down I think I do want someone to talk to me, but about what I want them to talk to me about.
Which is worse, because it makes me a malicious autist that wants to manipulate people.
I seldom want to talk to other people cause i'm empty man. I ran out of nice things to say, interesting things, positive things. I'd rather not speak at all much to anyone. But I do crave something worth speaking about. But I'm not going to find it. It's how things work.
Thrown for a loop until I find a reliable way off the ride. I had a good run honestly.
>>24709267
Mostly chill stuff like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs7kjvhwHlw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oyyxxA_uQ4
Sometimes stuff like Burial - perfectly captures that 'city at night' feeling:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlCQpynGss4

I haven't heard any new&good music for so long. Then this happened. I'd suck your dick if you were here, n-no homo.
Please post any pictures you have taken while walking at night.
They are very nice to look at.

U///w///U thank you
This would be great if my city wasn't mostly ghetto blacks.
I used to get high before I left walk a mile down the backroads to either go the east side park or the west side park. There's a harbor with a park/swingset where the boats pass and twin bridges right next to it.
You wouldn't believe how amazing that spot was. Would go there for years until one day when I was walking to hit the back roads some nigger tried getting me to stop gun in hand. He tried to intercept whatever direction I was fleeing from. I think that's what stopped me from doing this anymore.
>>24709728
i like your pictures man how do you make them like that
>>24709967
I'm very glad you like them 0u0. I think it just tends to turn out that way when you use the flash in very dark areas.
What is this shit about getting hassled by the police? I'm guessing it's Americans posting that. I hate the police as much as anyone but in all my nightwalking I've never had cops so much as slow down to look at me. Why would they?
i wish i could do this more often but i don't want my parents to find out since they would probably lose their shit over it. i take the train to somewhere further away from the city where you can see the stars when it's a cloudless night. i hate seeing cars passing me and the best feeling is walking in the forest at night. at first i was frightened because of the darkness in there but you quickly learn to just let your feet guide you without seeing much. i still feel anxious though when there is no moon nor stars to be seen at all. the moon is such a comfy companion to look up to at nightwalks.
>>24710705
you a-at least use a flaslight right? all in all that's some crazy white boy shit
>>24710602
>I live in the middle of nowhere in a small, boring town where nobody is out after 10PM and everything closes on Sunday.
By hick logic, anyone out late on a Saturday night is up to no good, because wouldn't they want some sleep before church?
Also, there's a military base just down the street and the people here are pretty protective of it. They see a hooded figure walking in that general direction, they'll dial 911 in a heartbeat. I've had cops roll by and patrol a lot but I always run and hide.
>>24709723

Nope. Good thing I'm a trap. No one's going to rape me because as soon as they rip off my clothes they're going to find out I have a dick and probably run off. As for being mugged, I have nothing for them to take and I welcome them to kill me.
This really spooked me
>>24711164
They will kill you when they find the dick, more likely
I went for a walk not long ago. I decided to take a trip down one of the footpaths that goes through trees and doesn't have lights.
It was pretty uncomfortable, I don't like not being able to see spider webs that go across the path.

Great, that's even better

I've always wanted to go on nightwalks but I only feel safe doing it around campus. My home suburb reeks of druggies and tweakers.
>>24711289
druggies and what?
>>24709058
Podcasts are what really do it for me. Especially sleepycabin. I feel safer despite my paranoia of someone sneaking up on me while I got my headphones on.
I wish I could be braver like you guys.
Just got back from a 23 km run (12:40 pm), literally my first day after a good couple months of not running and sitting on my ass. Being skinny is fucking awesome. Fair enough I've ran and did sports like soccer / cricket, cross country etc.. my whole life. But I'm still rather impressed with what i can do.
I'm going to sleep like a fucking baby tonight, only wish i had a cutie to snuggle with.

I miss doing that. There'd be times where I'd just feel like saying things to kinda break the barrier a little. Like mentioning how packed the peak hour train is.One time a girl actually approached me when I was laughing at this tabletop roleplay I was watching on my phone.
Any Ausbots in this thread? Just got back from my night walk.

I been walking at night recently, but before 10pm, yesterday I walked 4 hours. I found a folded up dollar on the sidewalk, and when I opened it there was a pile of white power, probably coke, but I wound't know. I shook it off, and wiped it off with a wet wipe when I got home.
>go for a walk in Los Angeles
>50 people randomly ask you for money or cigarettes
This is literally the only time people ever talk to you in public, except for the occasional person asking for directions. And its been happening more and more often, not just seated beggars, but random ass passersby asking you for money constantly. Is it because there are lots of rich people who actually give people money when they ask, so now begging has become more popular.
Seriously, its a sign of the times.
>go hit on women constantly until you get a gf
>like every tinder match until you get a confirmation, spam every female OKCupid page in a 30 mile radius

I like to ride with my friend at night. We live in a small town next to a larger city, and in between there are dark pitch black roads, with beautiful, heavy, saturated light pollution from all directions. She and I will stop on those roads at night, and observe.

It's all good, would love it if you keep posting night ones.
This one reminds me of the time my older brother took me to this abandoned insane asylum near his SO's house. He'd tell me about how a crazy guy lived in a hut around there who'd shoot trespassers with a pellet gun.
That and the usual haunted house stories.

U w U np, goodnight everyone
Used to when I lived in the warehouse district and there were cool places to walk but now I'm in a shitty run down suburb in the middle of the desert, all you'll see is suburbs and lots of hills and the nearest store is 2 miles away
I love nightwalks, especially since it's starting to snow and it gets dark out at 4 now.
Walking around the city is nice, but down by the lake is something else
I want there to be a /nightwalk/ general, it'd be good

>Almost got arrested when going for a jog at around 2am
Is it illegal or something?

I wish I could visit the snow for once. It looks so beautiful.

It's great day or night, but there's a magic to it at midnight

Doing this in any city Mexico its stupid and suicide

I always hang around the forest near my place. The best is a full moon in winter, with the snow reflecting the light, you see almost as clearly as the day.

I like going on night walks. We've got this real nice park down by the river that's being redone someday, but lots of people drug deal there or just sit in their cars and it psychs me out.

I like to walk at night because no one is around to make me feel like a monster.

>If I'm behind someone on the sidewalk they will constantly look behind them and quicken their pace
>I've had the cops called on me before for walking through an affluent neighborhood
It's just easier for everyone if I walk alone after dark.
