I wouldn’t say I’m into the horror genre, but there’s horror movies I love. They’re just not scary to me, I’ll genuinely enjoy the movie or it’ll be funny (like the conjuring/the nun/annabelle universe)

Ngl it’s a control/environment thing for me? Watching horror is the only time I can let the fear/dread take over me and still feel safe after a jumpscare happens. The scare feels good to me with how quick and sudden it is, which is refreshing against the drawn out anxiety I feel everyday. Idk how to describe it. I still have to watch in moderation though cause I also get paranoid after watching, but being with others helps a lot

I get the same thrill from riding a roller coaster when I watch scary movies, helps with my adhd for some reason. I like adrenaline and almost having to close my eyes cause idk what happens , that’s the only time I like the unknown. 😂😂🙏🏼 I’m a critic now bc of it , I guess I used them as a way to cope bc I couldn’t feel? Idk😭

I’m a big adrenaline girl which is kinda odd considering I also get pretty bad anxiety but mine is more social related which is why I think I enjoy horror is for the adrenaline if it’s actually good

Agree with number 1. I like some horror movies because they don’t really scare me. If there’s a solid plot then I’m interested in that and if there’s not then I find it boring. If you dont like them because they genuinely make you scared then don’t watch them. You def aren’t alone on that. Also sleep paralysis psa you can usually prevent it by sleeping on your side instead of stomach or back. This can be hard if you move around though and won’t help nightmares

Horror movies and shows, like I can’t even sleep and if I do I get really bad sleep paralysis
