I feel so stupid how can I get over scary movies?

Question

I feel like a dork but... I keep watching these scary movies and they are creeping me out. They are keeping me up all night ( right now its 1:07 am) And whenever I go into a room I hear things, Then I go into my parents room and they say go to bed! I don't get it. I can't stop watching scary movies but how can i just forget about them?

Answer 1

I also love to watch scary movies but always regret it later :P. What I do to fall asleep even though I can't from a scary movie is try different ways to forget the scariness of the movie. I like to make jokes at the movie like what the "Scary Movie" series of movies does. I usually go on youtube and watch funny clips and some episodes of tv shows I like if they are uploaded, especially sitcoms :). And when I feel like I am really tired and just have to go to sleep, I put on my iPod until I fall asleep :). Hope this helps you :D!

Answer 2

Best advice, don't watch such sick entertainment. Scary movies desensitize people to violence, why would you want to do that to your self. There is plenty of real violence in the world, no reason to glorify it.

Answer 3

well, it's normal to feel that way. but all you need to do is remember that they're just movies. they're fake. it takes a little maturity to handle scary movies, but you need to realize that they're just movies.

Answer 4

1) Watch them earlier in the day, so it's not the last thing you think about.

2) Remember that it's only a movie. If you saw the "the making of" this movie you would laugh yourself silly at the flakiness and fake-ness.

3) Read something that either cheers you or comforts you. Maybe 23 Psalm.

Answer 5

Its very normal to feel that way after a scary movie..

i say the best thing  you could do is sleep with a night light on..

it helps to see what is in your room, so that you wont get scary ideas of what ur pile of clothes might be...

and turn on a soft music.. or if you have a religion .. turn a song  from ur religion... like hymns or praise songs..

and leave your door open..
