Is it normal to enjoy the feeling of fear?

There are some nights where I will spend hours watching scary things on Youtube. For example, scary game playthroughs, or videos on hauntings and stuff. And even though I may barely sleep at night, I can't stop coming back to them. Why? I enjoy the feeling of terror, and sometimes paranoia. It's not constant, so it's not like I'm addicted to it, I just do it a lot for the fun of it.

  • The horror film industry would go bankrupt if it weren't.

    Yes it is. I always go running to NoSleep on Reddit even though there are some horrifying stories on there.

      I should check that out. XD I also avoid Creepy Pastas for this reason. I know there are some really scary, and sometimes real, stories in there.

        A lot of the stories written over there don't do much to me. You should check out the author: Scheller <a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/scheller" rel="nofollow">http://www.reddit.com/user/scheller</a>

          Wow. Okay so, the link wasn't clickable, so I tried putting it in the search engine thing, and Bing decided to search for it instead. My computer can't internet. -_-

            Aww chucks. That sucks. Maybe I fucked up on the link :P Anyways, hope you enjoy (not) the author's stories. They're quite horrifying, in my opinion.

    Interesting that you post say that you post this only a little while after I watched this:
