Heliophobia
Fear of Sunlight
Heliophobia, a less common phobia, is characterized by an intense and irrational fear of the sun, sunlight, or any bright light. While the sun is often seen as a life-giving force, for those afflicted with heliophobia, it evokes feelings of dread and anxiety. Throughout history, the sun has been revered and feared in various cultures. It has been worshipped as a deity, a symbol of power and energy, and a harbinger of destruction. From ancient mythologies to modern-day superstitions, the sun has been associated with life and death, light and darkness, and good and evil.
