I used to work a job where I patrolled remote areas of the desert at night by myself. The desert is hauntingly beautiful, very dark, and quiet, and I loved it. It was scary when you came across a threat you can’t quite see like a mountain lion, or worse, a human who had ties to a criminal gang. You were always watching something or someone, and you were always being watched.

It's not necessarily the fear of the dark, rather the fear of the unknown. Not knowing where to step, not knowing what you're touching, not knowing where to go, not knowing what you heard, not knowing what you smell, not knowing what to do, not knowing if you're alone, and not knowing what's out there. That's really what darkness brings. Edit: I know this because as a 13 year old I was faced with the option of going completely blind or possibly dying sooner with partial blindness. I had a brain tumor that required a craniotomy, but the severity of how much mass would be taken out was ultimately up to me. The doctors explained the repercussions of the different options to me and my parents and they decided I was old and mature enough to make the decision myself. I chose not to have the full mass removed out of fear and even still was too scared to open my eyes for a day or two after the procedure because I didn't want to know what had become of my sight. That being said, I came out with the best case scenario. Only lost half my peripheral vision and after 10 years of checking in on the mass periodically it hasn't grown.

Vsauce did a big episode on fear and found that the worst fear is asphyxiation. It also is the only known thing to scare people without an amygdala which is the part of the brain that processes fears

[@yasininn76]

It's impossible to not feel fear at all. Your brain desperately needs oxygen at all times, if it doesn't get it, it will find a way to tell your conscious self to breath, and that is fear. If it didn't feel that level of primordial fear of death, it'd probably not survive at all.

[@OXY187]

Everyone has fear. It’s an instinct, not an emotion.

[@AmandaHugandKiss411]

I saw some information on this topic. It isn't the fear of asphyxiation. It is the fear of immediate death. You only have a few minutes. Death is permanent. That creates an overload of adrenaline. Not endorphins. It is an automatic response. Not a logic or pain driven response.

I do adore this subject, but with a twist from my POV of being an abused child through very rough adulthood darkness and the unknown became more comforting than the constant stress and fear I had surrounding me in the places meant for comfort. When you can't go to your parent for a hug, hiding under the bed became the warmth. When the bills aren't paid causing water and lights stop, going into the woods feels like home. There were even several times I was specifically dropped of and left alone in strange places so adults could go off and do drugs or scream to voices in their heads. It's honestly fascinating and funny, now esp after therapy, that when you're surrounded by evil at the hands of those meant to protect you, the dark isolated void is much more soothing. I struggle with agoraphobia a lot too, few years ago I couldn't be in public spaces without breaking down case being around others, even if mundane, became so traumatizing and didn't feel safe anymore. Now living in a more secluded area, I don't feel watched by humans but instead witnessed by nature and the universe. I feel like a fellow weird lil creature in the dark~

[@VioletBarrettVerd]

I remember one time learning that there was this woman with a neurological condition that didn’t allow her brain to feel fear. The dark, spiders, horror movies, nothing scared her. But eventually researchers did find something that triggered fear in her brain: it was suffocation. When her air supply was cut off, and her brain realized she couldn’t breathe, she felt fear for the first time.

[@Esotericspirits]

[@danieltate5685]

​@@MrCmon113 The point was that it triggered the fight or flight response in her brain. Nothing triggered a response if any kind to anything most people would respond to in some way. It was tested on multiple people with the same condition and it all gave the same results. It's because it triggered a response of panic and fear in someone who was seemingly immune to all other things

[@jra.ine777]

Fear isn't just about spooky things... Fear of death is our brain's way of helping us stay alive. Which is why suffocating would trigger fear, the brain knows without air it will die very quickly.

[@taramaforhaikido7272]

"But we were dragons. We were supposed to be cruel, cunning, heartless and terrible. But this much I can tell you, we never burned and tortured and ripped one another apart and called it morality." It really depends on who's doing the suffocating. Let's just say I get into the extreme side of things. I also don't fear death. I mean that. Ever seen Puss in Boots: The Last Wish? I *AM* death. Add Smaug into that too.

@@jimmymcgill2961I’ve read everything he ever wrote, and what his contemporaries wrote about him. I’m about convinced that he was writing as a sort of self-therapy to express his fears, and to mock the zeitgeist of his day. He himself was an atheist. He had rejected Christianity because he considered it an infantile attempt to deny the infinite, uncaring universe and seek comfort in anthropomorphizing it, along with all other religions. He was what today we’d call a “mechanistic materialist”. Racism was far more common in his day, not in an active oppressive fashion (in the circles he moved in- remember that he lived in New England), but more in the sense that fostered eugenics. Some races are more evolved than others, and should be left to themselves and not interacted with by their “betters” until they had evolved to become equals, that kind of thing. It’s still racism, just “refined”. Hence his “cosmic horrors” were beings so far above humans that they saw us as insects when they noticed us at all. In other words he wanted his oh-so-superior contemporaries to see themselves the way they (and he) saw blacks etc. It’s not fear of the unknown, it’s fear of realizing that your “place in the universe” is an illusion.

As of the moment I'm watching this video, it's exactly midnight turning to August 19. 2 days ago (basically Aug. 17), as I was hanging my clothes outside, I sensed the presence of something on my left, and it was not my dog, who was behind me. At first, I thought it was my mother coming from the kitchen outside to tell me something, and as I looked left straight, I saw no one but my cat, at around 5 meters. I swear I didn't hear him, but sensed his presence, somehow. I guess that could be an explanation about why we also fear the unknown in the dark. We need sight to confirm our sensations and feelings about that "something's not right about this place" or "there's not a good reason about why something or someone could be here". I guess that sense also gets a bit "nerfed" (if you wanna call it that) when somebody is with us 'on our side'. Having the feeling of company is something that could end up very wrong in the wrong situations. Humans are weird.

Also in the dark if you close your eyes causing your brain to move resources into other survival mechanisms. Such as spatial awareness to your ears. Try it, close your eyes and walk through your house. Of course you have it mapped in your head. But here's what most people do not relise is our ears being used in spatial awareness. You know how your home **sounds**. As soon as your brain registers the sound isn't right tells you the most likely factor: there is something either more or less where you are. Imagine someone places a cupboard in the room. Next tike you walk through the room your brain instantly recognizes something is wrong. You get a sudden rush of unexplained fear. Imagine that cupboard is actually a person, maybe you cannot har them breathe but the fact that they are squeezed into the corner creates a deadspace. The normal sound of air movement in this area is modified by occupation alone. Now also in a new place at night. Close your eyes instead of trying to see things in the darkness. You will realize you can hear dead spaces by lack of movement of air. You can then identity walls and other large items with ease. If you had your eyes open your brain would be straining to make out shapes in the dark. So I always say you should map out your house in your head with your eyes closed in the dead of the night. No one could take you offguard if you can "hear" where things are supposed to be. Your brain is processing so much more sensory data than you know. Especially when you remove your sight as an option. Now. If you end up somewhere in the dark unknown. Stop. Get low to the ground. Close your eyes and just "feel", your brain will notify you in danger. If you were panicking and running around blind you'd run right into danger for sure. However if you are calmly listening, YOU are the danger in the dark. 😊

[@WanderingConsequences]

Thats pretty interesting, althoug counter intuitive, taking your sight out to better understand your surroundings is pretty coherent thing to do, but even if limited, your sight is still 100 times more useful/important than hearing in such situation, not accounting the courage it takes to close your eyes in the dark, because if you do so i t only puts more pressure/stress on yourself in an already scary situation, making it a fun thing to do while in a dark space you know its safe before hand, but very impractical on a potentially dangerous dark area, not to dismiss any of what you said of course, but i thought important to point it out nonetheless.

I’m not afraid of the dark, but that’s because my mother wasn’t. She was… ballsy when she was younger to say the least. And I’ve learned over the years that I had gotten my desire for night adventures from her. This tends to frighten her given the fact that she always had friends with her and I tend to be by myself when I’m out (reasonable fear but gets annoying lol). And right as I’m typing this, the “you’re not scared of the dark, you’re scared of what’s in it” line comes in. That actually held very true for me, for there actually was one instance I did fear for my life in the darkness of night. A gut feeling that I chose to obey is the reason I’m still alive today, and it bothers me more and more that all it took for me to die that night was the mere belief of “nah I’ll be fine.”

It's weird when others narrate the story but it's also good to know that they are not forgotten. Personally I am still scared of the dark.

15 years ago I went to the Kungur ice cave in Russia. I still remember this vividly, not the whole experience, of course, but a lot. There was a grotto, where the tour gide switched off the light, so we could experience how the true darkness of the cave feels like. I am still impressed at how terrifying it was. First few seconds you are not scared, just surprised at how strange it is to open and close your eyes and seeing that nothing has changed. Then you start to listen, as this was almost the only sensation you are left with/ I heard drops of water behind me and the breathing of silent people. Then my sence of space started to fail. I knew, that there is at least a half meter distance between be and a tiny stream behind me, but my brain felt like there is onle a few millimeters and that the stream flows in a much deeper ditch. There was even a feeling that the metal trail is shrinking. My brain thought that I will fall the second I move, and there was a huge dissonance betweem my memory of how space looks like and my feelings of what it was/ The light was out only for a minute, but staying in pitch black cave felt like catharsis.

I am 25 years old and I have such a debilitating fear of the dark that I genuinely couldn’t stomach this video. I was watching the video out of my peripheral because I was genuinely too afraid to look at the screen. I was in a fully bright room but the idea of the dark in these spaces had me so anxious I had to stop. It really is a fear of the unknown and being in danger there’s almost something paranormal about dark environments I can’t even sleep without a bright light on unless I’m with other people because my brain is CONVINCED that something is in my house ready to hurt me. If I’m with others I’m significantly less afraid but some environments still freak me out. I’m not scared of most things but there’s something that causes my blood to run cold about the dark. I can stomach most horror fiction but anything that relies on nyctophobia I start to feel faint. I have tried everything to make myself not be afraid of it anymore but without fail when I am by myself in a low lighting place my body freezes and my heart starts to race

[@AiBelicious]

what i've heard is that some people lack the ability to fear or be afraid bc of an underdeveloped part in the brain. Those people will be perfectly fine with every scary scenario u put them in but there is one specific situation in which the people who never experienced fear, get a taste of it, and that's when they are suffocating. When too much carbon dioxide builds up in ur body even the fearless start to fear. So I'd say a true universal fear would be smth like that. Even though u might not be afraid of it thinking about it now, but once u are in this situation, we would all be terrified to the core. That's just what the video reminded me of, great video.

It's kinda comforting to hear the fear of the dark being talked about so openly and universally. I actually have nyctophobia, I "didn't grow out of it".

One of my biggest fears related to the dark, is seeing a human figure in the dark. And I'm not talking like a spirit or a demon or whatever. I mean like, actually seeing somebody in the dark.

I was never afraid of the dark when I was younger but nowadays, I'm absolutely terrified of being in the pitch black darkness. I can cope with a little lighting in a room but if it's completely dark, oh hell no. Just a few months ago, the power went out at night while I was up and I just panicked. In my anxiety state, I grabbed a knife because I thought something was going to come out and hurt me. The lights came on after about 10 minutes but I couldn't calm down for the rest of the night. My dogs would randomly start barking whenever I was the only in the house at night and again it sends me into panic mode. I don't do anything during these moments other than trying to figure out what is causing them to bark. And don't even get me started on being surrounded by woods and how absolutely horrible it is at night. But it is 100% true, I'm not afraid of the dark itself but more of what can be hiding in the darkness.

[@ADMusic1999]

I don’t know if everyone is born with those fears. Ok, babies cry when they hear loud sounds but I don’t think that’s a phobia. Just that their ears are more sensitive and they can’t really process what the sound is or how to interpret it so they just cry. As you get older, some sounds may surprise you but the more you hear them, the less shocking they become. As for falling, same thing. Nobody wants to fall, but it’s not really a phobia everyone is born with. If all kids were scared of falling, that would make for a dull childhood.

[@KKilgore]

Alright, it might sound dumb. I had a literal panic attack in Arma 3 when it got dark in the game. I remember it because I never felt something similar before. It wasn't "spooky" kind of fear. It was something like ... hitting a physical literal panic mid gaming after realizing "Hey, wait a second, I'm lost ... in the middle of the jungle". It was a micro *primal* fear that lasted just 5 seconds. I was lost in the jungles. Usually, there's at least moon, stars. Usually, there's NVGs or a flashlight. But at that time: a) I forgot my gear, not even a flashlight, b) It was cloudy and raining, so no natural sources of night light. If you're curious, I was playing the "Old Man" scenario. If you remember the map, I was trying to do something near the big radar. I had a route through the jungles, and it was getting dark. Frankly speaking, as silly it sounds, I never felt something like this before in my life. From now on, I will never underestimate the darkness. It's like being in a zoopark among the tigers. It's not scary when you listen to them from KZbin, you have to experience it in real life. Their roar trigger something primal in you, you literally have a small heart attack. Big cats have something like a paralyzing roar ability. I mean it's all is terrifying stuff. Logically, nothing should be scary nor spooky. You're in a zoo or playing a game, but your monkey instincts can kick you randomly because your reptile brain or something says "HEY I'm scared MF".

That's because most blind people still have a vuage retention of light perception. They don't see BLACK, they see a gray or shades of white at random places.
