Why are people afraid of the dark?

Even children as young as they're able to voice their fear. 2-3 years old are afraid of the dark. Children that haven't seen alien movies or chainsaw slasher movies and shouldn't have a reason to fear the dark still are afraid of the dark.

  • Well at first it's natural to be afraid of the dark however after a certain age if the child is still afraid of the dark to the point where they are unable to function normally then there may be an underlying issue.

    For me it's mostly just anxiety :/
