why do people love freaking themselves out?


Question Posted Friday May 29 2015, 9:53 pm

Let me begin, we created the ouigia board so we would move around some glass and think a demon is doing it, then run around screaming, expecting something to happen so our brain makes it seem like something is happening. Then we make up bloody marry and red rum bullshit, wich is stupid, and makes no sense. And if you live in my town, you will never hear the end of the countless urban legends about a certain street. I feel bad for people who live there, they have to deal with idiots driving their car and beeping in front of stupid houses or trying to film Mary Buckout and countless other stupid shit. Then Charlie Charlie. Your breath is doing it, i did it, it was fun watching everyone hoard my lunch table like i was dying, and everyone screaming at the slightest movement of anything in God's green earth, and these chain letters show how little creativity we have unless it's insulting someone's mother or whats gay, and despite school, no one knows proper grammer or how to spell. The question i would like to know, why do we love to try to scare ourselves?

Aquamarine is right, that is the way our subconscious minds work. The feeling not during something scary, but the feel good hormones released after making it through a traumatic or scary event, even if a chosen, self inflicted thing, gives a certain euphoria... it makes people feel more alive. That would mean the opposite is that so many feel like they're just a robot doing the same thing every day, find nothing ever changes, and life can get boring and feel meaningless quite easily. Think of scary things being used like caffeine, a jolt to help people wake up, only here fear used to help make one feel alive. While it works, I do not recommend doing so for the reasons of getting addicted to that rush, the feel good hormones. It is better to learn to feel just as alive being using our more positive hormones. Thing is, often thats more subtle or takes a bit more time to get the same results as its not as instant as fear which is not only an emotion but it is a natural instinct born into every living creature, the instinct of fight or flight as mentioned. And the instinct being pushed to the forefront artificially but no real danger is what can become an addicting practice.

Actually there are a few reasons, one of the reasons is that fear keeps us from worrying. For some people life can seem quite boring. Fear gives us a little spice in our normal lives. Fear also unleashes feel good chemicals in our body. It activates our fight or flight response. And that can feel good. Fear can also give us confidence. Going through a scary experience can make us feel accomplished. We might get addicted to this feeling so we try to seek it out. And finally fear can bring us closer to each other. Hope my advice helped! :)
