Sometimes, being scared feels like a game, and people love winning. When you watch a scary movie, your brain thinks it’s playing a trick on you, but once the movie ends, you feel proud because you lasted through the whole thing. It's kind of like when you're afraid of clowns, but you still go to the circus anyway.
Examples
- A kid screams during a scary movie but can't wait to watch it again.
- Someone hides behind the couch during a horror film, then laughs afterward.
- A person gets startled by a jump scare but feels proud of themselves later.
