In the eyes of many people, darkness is equal to danger and fear, and few people are not afraid of it.
Why are 100000 people afraid of the dark
So, what's the matter with being afraid of the dark?
Reasons for fear of the dark
1: Unknown fear:
Darkness gives people a hint of the unknown. People are always curious and eager to explore the unknown. However, darkness is endless. Fruitless exploration will arouse people's instinctive defense consciousness, that is, fear.

2: Loneliness:
People's eyes are the main way to receive information. When people are in the dark, they simply cannot observe the surrounding things through their eyes, so it is difficult to determine whether there is a danger close to themselves. At this time, there will be a feeling of helplessness and fear more or less. If the fear is to a certain extent, it is also a psychological obstacle.

3: Legend of Ghosts:
People who have seen ghost films are more or less afraid of the night, because such things come in the dark.
A strange legend
4: Ancestral inheritance
At first, primitive people were prey. Because some predators prey at night, and primitive people's vision is not suitable for night activities, primitive people were afraid of predators at night. With human evolution, humans are no longer afraid of predators, but the morphological consciousness left by our ancestors has been passed on to us.
Ancestral inheritance
We are not afraid of darkness in all cases. For example, when you are a killer, you not only don't fear darkness, but even like darkness. It can be seen that people's instinctive fear of darkness is not because of fear of darkness itself, but because of their adaptability to darkness.
Not everyone is afraid of the dark
