Psychology is used to explain the fear of darkness

Are you afraid of the dark? Do you feel fear when night comes? Did you know that there is a phobia called night phobia?

Fear of the dark may occur in everyone, but to different degrees, because our ability to see is limited when it is dark, so we will have a fear of the unknown. So what is nocturnal phobia? The reason why we have "night phobia" can actually be explained by psychology.

The "collective unconscious" proposed by the famous psychoanalytic psychologist Carl Jung is a good explanation for "nocturnal phobia". The phenomenon of the so-called "collective unconscious" is not uncommon, for example, many people are afraid of snakes, not because they have been attacked by snakes, but because they have heard or seen others bitten by snakes. Since then, this fear of snakes has been implanted in people's minds, and they shudder when they see snakes.

For darkness, in the same way, people will also have similar emotions about the night because of watching horror movies or other people's terrible descriptions of the night, etc., and the horror that happened when the night is dark and the wind is high will come to mind, and the fear will arise spontaneously. Another cause of "night phobia" is that our vision is greatly reduced in the dark, which puts us in a state of severe lack of information. At this point, we have a sense of uncertainty about everything around us, and our sense of security is greatly reduced.

Fear of the dark is a normal reflection of people, as long as this fear is not a pathological fear, there is no need to pay too much attention to it, it will not affect our lives. If you're overly scared of the night, look for why. See if there are any underlying psychological disorders and find out the **symptomatic** of night phobia.

Learn to appreciate something, and you change its perception. The night gives a kind of quiet, and if there is a light, it is a sight, so why not let go of the tiredness of the day and enjoy the aura of the night?

Because people's psychology has a certain dependence, not seeing things or seeing things clearly in the dark will cause insecurity, that is, fear.

It may be a very ambivalent psychology, with a slight masochistic tendency, but liking to watch horror movies may really be a hobby, and many people will be afraid of the dark, even three-year-old children will be afraid, let alone adults.

Fear of the dark is just a sign of timidity, and casually saying that he is not a disease. We should know her correctly, many girls are timid and afraid of the dark, so you can treat her with a normal heart.

When children are young, some of them are instilled by their parents with ghosts in the dark, so they will be afraid of the dark, and when the time comes, as they grow older, they will slowly get better. However, if adults are too afraid of the dark, it is considered to be dark fear, which may be a mental illness, and it is necessary to see a doctor.

Have you ever wondered why you are afraid of the dark? Is it a kind of fear of the unknown? Or what kind of trauma have you had, or do you have a pathological cause for this?

It depends on the severity, mild does not count, if it is very serious, it is recommended to see a psychiatrist.
