I feel so dumb just doing this


Question Posted Wednesday June 4 2008, 4:25 pm

i dont know what topic this is so anyway....im a light sleeper....when there is a bad thunderstorm..i get really scared..so i go into my moms room and sleep on the floor..i feel pathetic because im 13!!!I always think of thunderstorms as a horror movie......which i cant stand horror movies...mom thinks its because when i was very young i saw my dad punch my mom and her face was bloody...i screamed and cried..my mom and dad are divorce.....i dont think my friends respect that i get easily scared and cant watch movies or i get nightmares because they bring them to sleepovers to watch so im in another room watching tv feel so stupid...when we play hide and go seek in the dark i get scared because im still afraid of the dark that i need my tv on....

about the thunderstorms...i have lived in a small-medium town my whole life...and soon ill be moving into the country....country also reminds me of horror films for some reason...how can i deal with these kinds of things!!!!????



im SORRY if this is confusing im just tired of feeling pathetic...worrying how ill be in ten years when im alone and mom wont live with me anymore....i really need help!!

so the questions again are:

What should I do when they bring horror movies or suggest to watch a horror movie at theaters?

How can i not be afraid of thunderstorms espically in country?

I don't like scary movies much either. Whenever I have boyfriends, thats what they wanna do. I think they think I'm flirting with them or something, when I'm hiding under their arm, but I'm not, I'm just freaking out. I saw that when a stranger calls, it wasn't even like scary I guess, but the whole movie I was like screaming. Its okay, you still go sleep in your moms room sometimes. I know you think you're old, because you're 13, but you're really not, and its not a big deal. I'm 16 and when I have a bad dream or something, I do too. Alot of people do, whether they admit it or not. When they bring a horror movie over, just tell them I get really bad nightmares from it, and I don't enjoy it at all. If they wanna go to a scary movie, then don't go with them. If you know any other friends who arn't a big fan of scary movies, ask them to see a different movie with you. I would hate moving to the country too, because I hate the dark, and you're like not close to other things. I don't really know how to tell you not to be afraid of thunderstorms, only you can get over that. I guess just occupy your time. Do something while theirs a thunderstorm, watch a funny movie, anything.

Everyone has fears, theirs nothing to feel pathetic about.

first of all you shouldn't feel stupid because everyone is afraid of something. i get scared when i think about scary movies at night plus i have a really creepy basement so that doesnt help. and im 18yo yeah. i used to sleep in my parents room too. but i got over it mostly because i had to. i just did it. im not really sure how. but maybe if you face your fears. like watching scary movies. if its too scary though then your friends should respect that. I refuse to go see scary movies in the theatre, because its like your out in the open and nothing is behind you which makes it scarier but i can watch them at peoples houses. i probably am not helping very much lol. but anyway i always find if you eat popcorn while watching movies that helps because you have something to hide behind, it makes it seem more like just a movie, and it makes you focus on more than one thing. anyway sorry for rambling on and on like this. <3 sara
hope i helped a little bit.
