I love playing video games like of course many of you do, but it's been forever I've stopped playing. Just cos when there's a monster that comes up like let's say "Jinpachi Mishima" from "Tekken", I get scared to death and my heart starts beating real fast :/ Then i tell my brother to do it for me, but its really embarrasing I'm 18 why would I get so scared of a stupid video game? I just start sweating and stuff and I turn off the game. Is this normal? I try not to get that scared cos there's absolutely no reason to, I just mock at myself at times. Is this normal anyway? I talked to my doc and he said yeah some people can be sensible and they get nervous over littlest things. I don't know if it's just me or many of you go through this?

your doc's right...some ppl can't handle some things while others can. and some ppl get so engrossed in a game or video that their brain has actually made them believe its real.
here's what you do confront your fear...yep...first get to the point where the monster comes up, make sure the sound is off and pause the game so you can look at him and what he does, let him kill your character...do this several times with the sound off...don't panic or feel like you have to do something to 'save' your character, keep reminding yourself its just a game. do this as many times as you need to, when you can watch it with the sound off and pausing it etc. without feeling panicky then turn the sound on but very low and continue to do this until you can watch without getting scared. then play the game but let your character get killed several times, the same thing until you are comfortable. the point to all of that is to gradually get yourself used to it. its strange isn't it that hollywood tells us games, movies etc. don't affect us but you are one of millions of ppl that prove they do.

Yeah lotsa people are like this. People have like phobias or are scared very easily by even the stupidest things. To conquer your fear, you gotta tackle it head on. You say to yourself that it can't hurt you no matter what the F35K the plot of the movie or game is and you're gunna rape him with a corn dog!!! Sorry I like to get into it sometimes...

Dont listen to those who mock, every1 freaks out over something. when playing the 1st level of halo, when you dont have a gun n the aliens are running round killin, i got freaked n gave the game over 2 my bro.
It is an excellent idea to do the whole sound off, works for me.
