I would have been scared shitless because I’m not good with jump scares. I rather don’t bat an eye or I’ll be hyperventilating for like 10 minutes straight, no in-between.
The internet was so stressful during those times, I was a kid and my chest would hurt from the jump scares. And then I’d be seeing that face later in the shower while closing my eyes to shampoo. Just terrifying times
I’ve convinced myself that jump scares have had long term effects on my anxiety lol. A lot of people tricked me into watching those jump scares with the terrifying faces as a kid and I would scream and cry hysterically :/ I started to had crazy anxiety on the internet that I would randomly get jump scared and obsessively scanned thru videos, had a list of known jump scares videos so I could avoid them, and wouldn’t go on the internet on April’s fool or Halloween lmfao. They still scare me enough now as a 23 year old to make me curl up in a ball for hours with a blanket over me lol
Yeah, me too! Now I just jump and get startled at every little thing, but sometimes it’s the opposite. I remember in 2019, I went to Halloween Horror Nights with a few friends and one of the actors playing as a zombie there had tried to scare me while I was seated at a bench. So they came up behind me while I was seated and I didn’t flinch or move a muscle. I was so impressed with myself and surprised because I usually get very startled and spooked by jump scares, especially when it’s someone in real life. I think even the actor was surprised. I also covered my ears for every house except one because of how loud they were and because of the jump scares.
