Your Type
You need company for horror; you grab whoever's next to you when scared, as fear is better shared. This reaction of "socializing fear" actually masks your inner deep anxiety about "facing the unknown alone and being abandoned"; you fear that without others' company, you can't bear life's darkness and pressure, so you use physical contact to confirm you aren't isolated. But relying on others doesn't eliminate your inner fear. Try taking a deep breath yourself the next time you feel scared; when you learn to embrace yourself in the dark, you'll find you're braver than you thought.
