Please give a clue on how to find out about this..

Its not only fear they do suffer from optimism bias

As Tali Sharot, a cognitive neuroscientist from University College London, explains for TIME:

"You might expect optimism to erode under the tide of news about violent conflicts, high unemployment, tornadoes and floods and all the threats and failures that shape human life. Collectively we can grow pessimistic - about the direction of our country or the ability of our leaders to improve education and reduce crime. But private optimism, about our personal future, remains incredibly resilient."

Thanks to humanity's optimism bias, you could show someone all the statistics related to divorce, cancer, and average lifespan, and more often than not, they'll choose to believe that those negative experiences won't happen to them.

So when we see horoscopes that tell us we're going to meet our soulmate or get a big promotion this month, we choose to believe it, and don't tend to go back and fact-check it - the horoscope has already done its job by making us feel good.

A similar thing goes on when we're presented with a spookily accurate prediction of the future - part of the cognitive bias that's wired into all humans is that we are drawn to details that confirm our existing beliefs.

Oh I know about optimism bias and a lot of people on this db want to believe in it. Contrary opinions or those that tug their idea of freedom and liberty are set aside as those viewpoints don’t suit their life. Everyone sees a fairytale future in their minds.

This is true. Everything boils to same point "consciousness"

Lot's of research going on in this area. Hope in future they will find out more on it.
