Conquering one's fear 1

How to conquer one’s fear? There are people who says i am not afraid of anything. There are people like me, who are afraid of many things. Sometimes it seems silly .A grown up ,an adult being scared of ghosts?
I love reading ghost stories, watching ghost movies. But even now, if the movie were scary, I would watch it only with half closed eyes. It’s a very tiring effort, but still that helps me, I feel less scared this way. The question occurs, why you want to watch it. Because I love to watch it. That’s it. Only if there were people at home I would watch. If I am alone, I wont dare put the movie on. Either husband or mil has to be with me if I am to watch a horror movie. My mother does not like those types so never bothered asking her.

To my son, our Indian scary movies look funny. Those beauties in white sari with fangs coming out at times, those sharp nails, and burning eyes are funny things for him! For him those slimy, skin peeling, bone showing disgusting creatures looks scary!. For me those look just disgusting, not scary. So sometimes, I ask him to be with me to watch movies. I don’t show him that I am scared of ghosts. I just tell him, I like him to be with me, that’s all, so give me company when I watch this movie. Other times if he watches a show, on Discovery program, about ghosts, I tell him seriously, there are no such things kiddo. Like my father used to say, I would tell my kid, there are too many people on earth, no space for ghosts here. And he thinks what a brave mom!! Yaaaaaaaaaaay.that’s good. I feel good. But I don’t know when I will conquer this fear!
