How to overcome the fear of darkness, how to overcome the fear of darkness

Hello, the dark space is mysterious and full of horror. Behind the space is something we can't see, and our fear comes more from not being able to capture the unknown that we can't know. One of these situations is that you lack a sense of security.

In other words, a fulfilling life will make you more sunny and happy, find the things you love and then do it, and then try to take some responsibilities to make yourself grow. I said, "Is a mature person afraid of the dark?" Haha, good luck.

Mainly due to a fear of the unknown. Because it's dark, your eyes can't see, your other senses are closed, and you don't know if your environment is safe. Maslow's theory of needs tells us that the basic needs of human beings are physiological and safety needs, and when you can't perceive the specifics of your environment, you can't guarantee self-security.

So the first step to get rid of your fear of darkness is to use all your resources to turn on the lights, light candles, and make the darkness brighter.

I would like to tell you first that darkness is not scary, because in your subconscious you will think that there is something terrible hidden in the darkness. It's not so much that you're afraid of the darkness as it's that you're afraid of the fear in your own heart. Therefore, if you want to overcome the darkness, you must first overcome yourself!

Fearful thoughts are always objective and do not diminish the sense of danger because of your fear.

The more scared you are, the creepi you'll feel, and sometimes scaring yourself will scare you to death.

It's better to be calmer and calmer, but you can be fearless in the face of danger.

Being bold is not acting recklessly, and being timid is not being cautious.

Cultivate your own courage and courage, so that you are not alarmed and afraid everywhere.

It's best to find someone to accompany you, but if you go on your own.

Walk without thinking about those things that are afraid. If you're really scared, you want to get home right away, or don't think about looking back, because the more you look back, the more scared you become.

<> do you know the fear of darkness when it comes? When the night covers the world, I am the first light in the night, and I am asked to break the darkness of this world, and to shatter the darkness with thunder!

If you want to overcome the fear of darkness, you need to overcome the fear in your heart. If you have family or friends with you to overcome the darkness, you will often become dependent. In fact, if you want to overcome the fear of darkness by yourself, you need to fundamentally solve the problems you are facing, exercise yourself little by little, constantly break through your psychological defenses, and finally successfully overcome them.

01 However, sometimes a person wants to overcome the fear of darkness and danger, so let family or friends help him to slowly achieve his goal through the verification of time. And some people want to talk to someone when they are afraid of the dark, and it is recommended to talk to a trusted family member or friend who is uneasy about the darkness.

02 In fact, there are some friends who are afraid of the dark and need to go to a formal and professional institution for **. Although this kind of ** method can achieve the effect, but they are alone to survive, often to overcome the fear of darkness is more unfavorable, but also easy to produce a sense of loneliness, slowly they will lose everything to change themselves, thus causing a negative impact on themselves. Therefore, if you want to overcome the darkness with fear, you need to choose a specific method reasonably according to your own situation.

In the evening, the sun will go home, and the night will come, walking on the way home, many people will feel inexplicable panic, feeling as if there is someone following you behind, will be timid. Do you know why darkness makes people afraid? What is the reason for this?

I believe that many friends don't know much, so let me answer your doubts.

Let's start with the structure of the brain. There is a part of the human brain called the "amygdala", as the name suggests, it is like the pit of an apricot, which is dedicated to controlling people's fears. There is also a part of the brain called a "hippocampus", which is shaped like a small seahorse.

A baby seahorse is a small sea creature with a forward-hooked tail and a head like a horse. Don't look at the seahorse, it's an indispensable part of taking exams and completing assignments, because it controls human memory.

These two mysterious and useful "little things" are hidden deep in the brain and are very close to each other. When darkness brings back memories of something terrible, the "hippocampus" sends a signal to the "amygdala" associated with the fear, and the fear is generated.

Darkness can bring back terrible memories, which may be a human instinct. Scientists once conducted an interesting experiment by placing babies in bright and dark rooms, and the results showed that babies in dark rooms were more likely to cry and were reluctant to stay there alone.

If you are afraid of the dark, here are two small ways to teach you, which are called "distraction" and "exposure" in psychology. How do you divert your attention? When you start fantasizing about something scary coming out of the dark, immediately allow yourself to think of something happy like you got a birthday present, an upcoming vacation, hanging out with your buddies, etc., and soon you take your attention away from the fearful thing.

The more specific you think, the quicker you can get rid of your fear.

The second method is "exposure", which is a method of fear of the dark, but you have to be brave enough to do it. The method is: put yourself in a dark environment, when you start to tremble and be scared to death, don't rush to leave or turn on the light, you can ask yourself "what are you afraid of", whether you are worried that a ghost will pop out, or you are worried that there will be bad people to rob you, think of all the situations you are afraid of, and even shout out loud, as long as you can stick to it and not back down, eventually the fear and anxiety will disappear completely.

After going through a few such "exposures**", you may never be afraid of the dark again.
