Today, my boyfriend convinced me to face my fear of horror movies by promising to hold my hand through the entire flick. He fell asleep 10 minutes into it, farting and snoring in his sleep, whilst I was paralysed by fear. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I went to see Paranormal Activity 2 with my boyfriend. In hopes of him putting his arm around me or holding my hand, I told him that I was very scared and pretended to cry a little. He told me to be quiet because I was ruining the movie for him. Then he moved seats. FML
Today, I was having a movie night with my significant other. I suggested a classic horror movie binge, and she agreed. However, as soon as the movie started, she fell asleep and started snoring louder than a chainsaw. It's hard to take scary movies seriously with the sounds of a chainsaw going on, I tell you. FML
Today, I asked a girl I like to the movies. Wanting her to lean on me and stay in my arms during the movie, I chose a horror film. I screamed like a pussy the whole time. FML
Today, my boyfriend was complaining about how we never see the movies he wants to see. So I took him to the movies, and he picked which one. Then he fell asleep. FML
Today, my boyfriend fell asleep while watching TV. I thought it would be cute to try to kiss him awake like they do in the movies. He farted. FML
Today, my boyfriend confessed that he hates horror films. Our relationship was born out of our 'love' for horror films. I have endured 3 years of watching films that absolutely terrify me only to find out he doesn't like them either. FML
Today, I went on a first date with a guy who insisted we watch a film at his place. I agreed, despite feeling wary of a potential trap. Halfway through the film, he fell asleep and started snoring. When he woke up, he blamed me for “keeping him up all night.” I was there for less than an hour. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I went to see a horror movie. It ended up scaring her so badly that she refused to leave our bed all night long, even to pee. I have to clean the mattress now. FML
Today, my boyfriend is completely obsessed with zombie and horror movies. I don’t care what he watches, the only problem is the big wuss has horrible thrashing nightmares. Last night he thrashed so hard, he elbowed me in the face. I have a big swollen purple knot right on my forehead. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to a scary movie, hoping I could comfort her at a scary part. Instead when a scary part came on, she reacted by throwing up all over my lap and the person in front of us. FML

Solution: Turn off the movie?

OP said they werenparalyzed with fear... typically means an inability to move...
duskglow 12
That's just an expression, though. I don't think OP was literally paralyzed while watching a movie...
ShadowWolfoxImp 18
I know it's an expression, bit if they were as scared as they said, they may bit have been able to think straight. fear is a dangerous thing to the mind.

Oh, grow up, OP. Seriously. It's fake. Most horror movies aren't even scary. And if it really bothered you that much, you could have turned it off. You deserve it 100%

actually in all deas honesty, the suspense and build up with horror movies is what makes them scary to me. i get nightmares lol but yeah, she couldve just woke him up or left the room

You're kind of a jerk, 12. When you get right down to it most people's fears are pretty illogical. Why don't we sit you down to face one of yours and see how you react?
djm2010 8
24, I'm not a jerk. I'm logical. If it scared her so much, she could have turned off the tv or left the room. If it was a theatre, she could have declined to see a movie. I hate spiders, but I'm not just going to sit there like a dummy and just stare at one. I would take action and kill it.

If you can kill a spider, you're either very brave or isn't actually afraid. I'm completely terrified of insects and arachnids, and I can only kill one if it's very very small and with a very long broom. However, there's one special insect I can't even say its name. **** you, r-roach *gasps*

Oh my, please ignore that "isn't". Sorry, grammar nazis.

@36 Phobias affect people differently. You can't just assume that the way you react to your fear is the same way everyone would react to the same fear. I'm also afraid of spiders, and like #12 I don't just sit there and do nothing. Op should have turned the movie off.
I_Like_Dogs 28
Yes, I also don't get why OP just kept watching the movie. I thought "paralyzed by fear" was just an expression, I find it hard to believe that OP was literally paralyzed. But, as you said, phobias affect people differently.

Why is it so hard for people to believe that's she could have been literally "paralyzed by fear"? Sure I get that everybody's different and won't react the same if in the same situation, but come on! Some of the commenters are acting like it's impossible to be so scared that your body shuts down. I have a fear of clown, when I see one (even just a picture of one) I break out in a cold sweat, start to shake, and usually run away. That's about my only fear. I love just about anything horror, specially around Halloween. I love going through haunted houses. One year, my sister and I (she is the chicken shit) went to a haunted train. I never even so much as flinched all the way through (the theme was horror movies, I was trying to identify all the movies they used). At the very end right before the exit was a coffin standing on end. I knew something was going to pop out of it. Yes, it was a clown. Not just any clown though, it was the source of my fear of clowns, pennywise the clown. Yes, I was so scared that I just stood there staring at IT. I had never been so scared in my life! I couldn't move, I couldn't blink, and for a few seconds I couldn't even breath. The only reason I ever did move was because my sister, who was behind me, pushed me out of the way. So yes, I know from experience that you can be "paralyzed by fear" literally. If that can happen to me because of some guy that I knew was just dressed in a costume, why is it so hard to believe that is can also happen to OP while watching a movie?

Isn't the point of horror movies to have a fear of them? If you weren't scared to a horror film then it wouldn't be a very good one surely!
kbecks87 16
There's a big difference in the fun kid of spook- scare and being truly scared.

It is, but some people can be more sensitive about them. I can't even stand to see trailers for horror flicks. But I know and respect myself, so I don't try to "face it." They are designed to scare and terrify. It would be like going to see hilarious comedians to try to desensitize yourself so that you won't laugh. That would be a stupid endeavor.

If you watched it in the theater FYL. If you watched it at home, YDI.

Just... Wake him... Up..??¿
Tarlachia 33
But did he still hold your hand??

these questions need answers!

What movie were you watching? If YOU (not your bf) want to get past your fear, baby steps. Work your way up to seeing those movies, don't start with them. Start with a good dark comedy. Otherwise don't watch those movies, they are meant to scare and disturb.
Xion0014 20
Alright, which movie was it really? Scary movies now are pretty lame..
djm2010 8
lol it was probably Ouija
