Denying fear? Mind over matter? Does it work for you?

[Dynomite33]

Can anyone deny the emotion of fear wile playing Amnesia? Can you just tell yourself it's just a game and refuse to be afraid? If not, what do you think it is about Amnesia that convinces our minds it's a real threat?

I can. But only if I force my mind to go blank. once I do, I hear the screechy sound from being chased by the monster and my head starts to dip as if I'm going to pass out.
NOTE: I only do this when I have to, ex. when there is a monster right outside and it wont go away
