Oh yeah the fact that the word Nyctophobia exists makes it way easier to describe things rather than “I’m afraid of the dark”

I mean I do have nyctophobia I fit the description to the letter but with most people it’s just “haha your still scared of the dark” -_-

It makes it sound more real I guess? Or something like that

It’s the same thing that I always try to say that I have a panic disorder rather than anxiety, it makes people listen better.
