This is probably not the place to talk about this, but I want to yell into some void somewhere about this. I am a big fan of stuff like VHS horror and creepypastas and the like. I just cannot get enough of it, especially when it’s about games I like, like Minecraft (the Minecraft community is oddly ripe with this kind of content). The problem is, it makes me super paranoid for days after I consume this content. I work a job that has me coming home late some days, and I have to park about 75 feet (a probably bad estimate) from my house. I can’t help but to run to my house and glance over my shoulder a few times just to be sure I’m not followed by some shadow beast. There’s also the classic “running up the dark stairway to avoid the demon” thing when I’m at work alone (I work in a small movie theater and that place gets creepy at night). I’m writing this because I love the content but I just can’t help but to feel paranoid that something’s watching me or I’m about to be attacked, I hate it. I want to walk in the dark and enjoy looking at the stars instead of being afraid. The way I’ve written this could have over-exaggerated some things, but I think I’ve written this well otherwise. Like I said in the beginning, I just wanted to yell into the void about it, thank you for reading this if you cared. Edit: Gonna restate, it’s not all the time I feel like this, maybe only a week or two after viewing creepy content.
