Apparently I like being scared a lot.

I don't like being scared at all but some of those things just don't scare me. I don't think a ghost story would scare me because I know it's a story & won't actually happen or involve me & I don't really care for them but I may find the stuff going on interesting & entertaining. I like suspenseful movies but they don't scare me because I know their movies & thus not real-life. I don't know if a haunted house would scare me because I know those things are fake but I don't like being startled.
Exactly! Horror is my fave genre but while I find it exciting it doesn't scare me because it's not real. Same for ghost stories and haunted houses, creepypasta, urban legends. So apparently being a horror fan means I like being scared.
No, I hate being scared. I hate things that truly scare me. Make-believe just isn't one of them. I wish I could get scared by things that are fictional, but unfortunately all my scares are real and not the least bit enjoyable.
