I love books but not scary books. Neither do I react kindly when someone tries to frighten me with a loud boo! Anybody trying this can be facing a loud shriek or perhaps something even harsher.
It often bamboozles me why people like to scare themselves. Or others. What’s so good about being scared silly. Why not laugh together or listen to good music together? Being happy together boosts our mood and gives our immune system a boost as well. Happy people are healthy people.
As for scared people????
I don’t think it does anything good for either their mood or over all health.

People like the adrenaline rush of being scared, whether by horror or extreme rides/sports…

As we’ve discussed, I’m not a fan, nor interested. It’s enough for me when I sometimes get startled at work when concentrating and I don’t hear some approach me. 😅

It is odd that folks like to get scared. I think as we get older those kinds of frights could really be unkind to our health and welfare. So I stay away from those things that are frightfully un-nessesary 🙂
