Weird Lighting and reflections

I don’t know if this is natural, but for some reason my reflections only show up in darker areas (the more shadows on the surface, the more visible the reflections become). I wanna use ray traced reflections, but i kinda avoid reflections at all these days, because i want them to show everywhere depending on the metallic value of the material, not how bright the surface is. If i have a shadow, the reflections will be all over the area, if the part is lit by a point light or something, shadows are almost not there
