What are some ways to become less scared?

[axelunatic]

I "accidentally" watched Suicide Mickey Mouse...all the way through.
I thought I could be brave and laugh at it in the face... I forgot that it was 2 am, and noone was in the house.
Now I'm ****-scared....
Any recs on making oneself less scared? (Maybe for other situations as well?)

When I'm scared, I stop being scared and be awesome instead.


True story...

Huh, never understood people who thought that thing was freaky. I found it boring and vaguely irritating.

Anyway, try watching something funny or listening to a good song. Not that hard to get away from fear with YouTube around.

Hmmm... Effective but hard to pull off, unless you truly are the epitome of awesome.

I guess its the woman screaming in the background...
Reminds me of the Blair Witch Project? I dunno

Watch something like this:

I just make myself a snack, sip some tea, and turn on some infomercials. Despite being horrible to watch, they do make fear dissipate in no time at all. Or I post on forums such as these.

It just takes a bit of conditioning, and a dry sense of humour. As well, trying to predict what will happen helps. I do this frequently with horror movies.

Force a smile, or at least a smirk.
Or watch avid of adorable kittens or hilarious antics before you sleep (make sure it's not a jumper vid)

 

[Doctor VonSexMachine]

Watch a comedy?

[axelunatic]

I am endlessly amused by the fact that a person who was terrified by Suicide Mouse decided to name themselves "axelunatic".
But maybe I am just delirious from all this sickness.

Anyway, I guess funny things or cute things might help? I don't know, I've never had this problem. I can't actually get scared.
Maybe go search "puppy" or "kitten" on YouTube. Find shit like this.

never fails, search "negima" on youtube and watch the second series (preferably in the original japanese) the sheer cuteness eradicates ANY and ALL fear or your money back ;-D

The more scary stuff you are exposed to, the less you will fear it. Watch moar!

Just don't be scared. Its the advice I give everyone when they complain about being scared or freaked out. I know it sounds stupid, but it works for me.

Fear is the mind killer, man. Its the little death. Don't be scared; just remember you are human. We already ARE the scariest thing on our planet. You see a ghost, you bust out your hoover and wreck its day.

Also, kittens are always good. Nothing chases away a good fright like a nice long D'AWWWWW
