Your Type
You laugh the most during horror movies; not because you aren't scared, but because fear auto-converts to a laughter mode. This coping mechanism of "forcibly transforming fear into humor" is actually a protective shield you use to escape "facing negative emotions and pain directly"; you fear that once you admit you're scared, you'll be completely swallowed by fear, so you use absurd laughter to dissipate the otherwise heavy pressure. But escaping true feelings only represses emotions. Try allowing yourself to gasp or show vulnerability the next time you feel scared; when you learn to accept all your emotions, you can display true strength.
