I am never much braver than when I was younger.

i think i am stronger now than i am before. i am convinced of the other beings that are around with us but this does not bother me as much as they bother me before cause for the 21 years of existence i have not come across with these beings. i am confident that they won't harm us unless if we have weaker faith. it really is important that we stay Faithful since with God we are safe. nothing could ever harm us.

Yes, i am much braver now than when i am younger, while i grow older, i finally realize that it is just a movie, nothing to be afraid of no matter how horrific it is, compare to my younger day, i can overcome my fear quite easily due to the fact that i get to learn and accumulate more knowledge than before, all these horrible scenes are only screen play make to scare viewers most of the time, and many of them are just camera tricks for entertainment purposes.

I will be the opposite of you. I could say that I am braver today than when I was younger. When I was young, I am easily made believed that ghosts, zombies, monsters and other things are real. When my parents want me to go to sleep, they will scare me so that I would go to bed early. But now, I knew that those scary things are just a byproduct of our imagination. I know that they are not real (well for my belief only) and that it only us and our imagination that can create those thing. Although sometime my mind take over and i got scares of these things. But most of the time I am able to overcome this fear thinking that they are not real.

Just like you, I too was a lot braver as a kid. Even as a single person. But the minute I got married, and moreso after becoming a mom, I became a "scaredy-cat"! I am no longer the thrill-seeking lass I used to be. I think it is because I feel that I now have more to lose...my family. That if something happens to me, I will leave my husband and daughter behind. Aaarrrgh! Now I'm getting scared again just at the thought of that. :(

It's funny how you think you;ll grow out of something and once you did mature, you realized that you're no different compared to when you were a kid. I'm in my late teens now but I still have the same fears that I did when I was a kid. When I was a child, I use to fear the insides of the body like the stomach and heart but I had to learn it in elementary school. We had to go to the cinema theater to watch a whole documentary based on the anatomy of the human body. It was my biggest nightmare! I closed my eyes for most of it and I kept thinking about it when I tried to sleep at night. Now, my fear is still there but not as bad but I would never be a surgeon! Some fears you may have you simply just can't grow out of.

It is a good question, but I think it depends on one's life, and character.It is not that you are not brave, it's not about that.The fact is now, after seeing much hurt, suffering, hunger in the world, you become affected,that is an altruistic feature.You were indeed affraid as a child, but as a grown person, you feel the pain, not the fear.You have seen too much to stay without feelings.That is the sign of a sensitive person, at least in my opinion.

Hi! I also do not like watching horror movies. What is the need to make us feel stressed? I love to watch simple romantic and comedy movies.

I think that in some ways I am much braver than I was before I was younger but in other ways, I was far much braver when I was younger. I think that in a lot of ways, I was far more trusting with a lot of things. With a lot of times I was rather a bit more likely to dive right into things, then I would be when I was much older and much wiser. Of course bravery is not a good thing in certain instances as it is going to lead to risks. Still there are a lot less things that do freak me out as well. Horror movies, they are slightly less horrifying for me. Perhaps the fact that I have seen the horrors of the real world and thus the world of movies are not horrifying enough to really bother me. But that is rather beside the point. Still there are just many times in life where I am far braver than I was and other times where I am a bit more guarded with things. Funny how that does work.

It's the opposite with me thetis. When i was younger i feel scared watching horror movies, specially those zombies. I can imagine them in my room, specially at night. Now that i am older i don't watch horror movies, because i find them amusing already. It's because i realized they are after all, not true anyway.

I watched horror movie for entertainment only or just killing my time. But I don't take it so seriously although we cannot control our imagination that makes us afraid and paranoid. You should face your fear thetis74 and be entertain in these movies. You can watch it along with your husbands or friends, never with your kids and be entertain. Try it and surely you'll get along with it!
