This is a problem that most of us are plagued with! There are a few points to keep in mind if you want to avoid getting scared: 1. Pay attention to details and the background score: A jumpscare can easily be anticipated if you pay close attention to details in a particular scene. Like the change in the background music, provision of medical aides and ammunition, etc. 2. Keep reminding yourself about the reality: Whenever you feel scared while playing a game, just remind yourself that it is only a game and it can do you no harm. It certainly helps you calm down.
