the reason for your fear

When you were a child, were you afraid that your hand would stretch out under the bed and grab your feet, were you afraid of something crawling out of the cupboard, were you afraid of the shadows outside the window, were you afraid of the strange noise in the house, were you afraid... too Too many...I'm afraid....

Before I went to college, I liked watching horror movies the most, with the curtains drawn, watching the whole Japanese ghost movie alone at home in the morning, sweating all over, and then cycling to school in the afternoon, Going to the playground to play basketball, the signs of fear keep popping up, but when you look at the playground full of people, you will breathe a sigh of relief, and the process of overcoming this fear excites me. At that time, Japanese horror movies were just emerging, and the classic one was not pulled down. Even the TV series version of The Bell at Midnight did not fall at all. Thinking about it now, this TV series version was really bad, but there were ghosts at that time. Just look. The most terrifying thing is not the picture at that time, but when you start to recall the content of the movie and then start to process the fear yourself, your whole body is tense, waiting for a female ghost in your imagination to appear behind you in the next second, you Next to it, in the mirror, under the bed, wherever you think you fear the most. The more perverted one likes to bring a timid person to accompany me. When you see horror, let her scream cut your eardrums, but you are unhappy on the side~ After

going to college... But I can't stand ghost movies at all, the ghosts haven't changed, it's my psychology that has changed. A group watched "The Grudge" in the dormitory. Now the girls watch ghost movies and no one is screaming. Everyone watched it quietly. I was the only one who covered my head with a blanket and kept asking, "The ghost is gone. Is the ghost gone, can you watch it?" After watching the whole movie, I didn't even see the shadow of a ghost, but it scared me enough, so except for me and a daring one who slept alone, other girls Both sleep together. The daring girl diagonally opposite slept soundly and turned over from time to time, making the bed make a sound of "Aaaaaaa..." when the ghost in the movie appeared. The psychology of overcoming this fear began to become painful. , I was really frightened in a cold sweat, lying on the bed did not dare to move, my body was extremely tense, my eyes did not blink, I was afraid of breaking the balance between me and the ghost, so I spent the night peacefully, nonsense , it's really a ghost until it appears~ haha

Until one day, I read a book that said, no matter what your fears are, the end of those fears is death, and when the ghost you fear appears, what you fear is that it will kill you, so you are not afraid of ghosts, You are just afraid of death, and since then my knot has been untied. Whenever the movie ends and fear comes again, I say to it: "Don't scare me, won't you die, come on!" So, the ghost slowly retreats.... The


movie is a bit tricky, and finally I didn't explain the reasons for these fears, and I didn't visualize the fears, otherwise it would be really vulgar.

ps: Maybe when you actually walk around hell, you realize that death is not terrible, the fear is the fear itself, the fear is yourself.
