 Nyctophobia - phobia
• An extreme fear of the dark is called nyctophobia. The affected person may
have an unreasonable concern of darkness and dark places. Although several
people, especially children, may feel uncomfortable in the dark or at night
when they are alone. Likely, the fear is not linked to the dark itself but the
potential negative scenarios that could occur in the dark.
• Since I was little i have this phobia, but i don't know exactly where i got it
from. But i think it all comes from the images i create in my mind. Even if I
am aware that everything is just my imagination, the brain makes that strange
sensation fall into fear, it’s weird but I can't get rid of this phobia. However i'm
sure i'll get rid of this phobia in the future, because for a while this fear isn't
really terrible.
