How come when you here someone crying somewhere at night or in a dark, unfamiliar place in general, instead of the normal human empathy that should normally kick in, the feeling of "someone needs help", instead you get a feeling of "I need to get the fuck out of here"?
Because I'm an emotional cripple who doesn't wanna deal with that bullshit, plus I'd have to deal with shooting them for being in my house and that's a pain.
because the next wandering creepy crying ghost could be you if you dont get the fuck outta there, my dude
Crying is designed to induce feelings of anxiety, not empathy.
Think about it from an evolutionary perspective.
>Wander the dark jungle
>Hear crying
>Crying can only mean trouble
>Fuck that
>Survive

because night is the home of all things damaged and dark

Ah, the BIG BLACK jungle.
You heard a basketball and get your white boi ass outta there!
Humans cry for a lot of reasons, including some pretty gay shit, but originally crying was signaling of danger, so it makes sense you'd stay away from it lest you end up being the next person crying.

You're in an area you are not familiar with, and you hear someone else in a potentially dangerous situation. What caused them to experience this trouble? Whatever it is, you probably don't want to find out

Not just damaged. With my work schedule, I'm mostly only awake during the night, and i've learned i enjoy it much more than the day. Night's pretty.

In this scenario laughing would be worse, in fact, any form of human sound on a dark place is bad.
Crying is actually the only human sound that doesn't sound like a threat, even at dark. In that scenario, one would even try to communicate with whoever is crying.
Get. The. Fuck. Out.
