Why do I always do this to myself?

Question

Bad Psychology: I always seem to scare my self.

My mind goes through Disturbia alot, even at a public place. For example I stayed at a camp school and there were people there (no roommates though) but I still manage to scare myself to the point of needing the hallway light on. Good thing I did not bother anyone's sleep.

I think about weird scary things, such the movie paranormal activity, scary faces, scary video games with no music, scary ghost stories, etc, etc.

Or scary silent places. I always scare myself when I'm home alone, the house is creepy silent sometimes and it is hard to go to bed alone when this occurs. 
I have to close all the window shades so I do not feel people (whether there or not) staring at me at night, all alone. 
Just really scary things, it keeps bothering me. I am 22 years old, if that helps.

Sometimes when I'm in bed on a night I get scared too, I also sometimes randomly get scared in the bathroom. I think there might be an element of paranoia there but I usually get passed it by telling myself there's nothing there and no reason to be scared. I assure myself and that usually helps me. If it is seriously affecting your life, then speak to a professional who will be able to give you guidance. Good luck.
