Why Do Some People Fear the Dark More Than Others?

Imagine you're in a room full of toys, and it's bright and happy. Now imagine that same room becomes dark, suddenly, everything feels bigger and scarier. Some people get scared because they can't see what's around them, while others are used to the dark and don’t mind it as much.

Why does this happen? It all starts with something called imagination. When you're in the dark, your brain tries to fill in the gaps, sometimes making things look bigger or creepier than they really are. That's why some people get scared of the dark more than others.
