The psychology of conspiracy theories
The illuminati are invading the world to create a new world order, the shape-shifting reptilian elite including the Queen of England, the US government is holding aliens in Area 51, the research facility in Alaska called HAARP is actually a mind control laboratory. , the moon landing was staged and faked and the flat earth theory, well the name says it all that the earth is actually flat and not round.

These are just a few conspiracy theories that people believe, there are thousands more.

If you believe any of these conspiracy theories I just mentioned, in this video it's not about me telling you you're wrong you're crazy for believing them or me trying to make you change one's mind.

In this video, we'll look at why people believe in conspiracy theories in the first place and the psychology behind them!

No matter what conspiracy theory you or I believe in, let's take a closer look at why we choose to believe it in the first place!

About half of Americans believe in at least one conspiracy theory, or about 164 million people, but why do so many people believe them!?

People believe it for various reasons.

Some people don't know how to explain random events and want to have an answer to what happened. If a conspiracy theory is the only explanation they can come up with, they might believe it!

Some people want to have certainty in their life, like before, if they don't have an answer or if society doesn't have an answer to what happened, it upsets some people because they need certainty in their life.

Some people want to feel special or unique and conspiracy theories make them feel that way, they feel special and unique because they feel like they are part of something that others may not even know about, but they know it and believe they know the truth.

Some people don't feel socially accepted and feel like they don't belong anywhere. Conspiracy theories give them this feeling of belonging to society.

Some people feel insecure in this world full of good versus evil, some people may think that evil is taking over the world and a conspiracy theory that people are fighting against evil forces in this world reassures them .

Some people do not believe in their government and believe that it is trying to attack or harm them. They may therefore turn to conspiracy theories as proof of their situation.
