I've played M+ games with my dad, who also abused me (not technically, but almost) since I was about 6. I played every GTA, Duke Nukem, Doom, etc. He even cursed a few times! I did a play-through of Amnesia while I was 13. Games do not influence how your act, nor affect your mental sanity or health. If they do, it is a parenting issue. Nothing is wrong with me, I have no social problems; most of the kids in my school like me.

-Now I used to have a rant here, but declared I wouldn't use it.-

BUT, to Dusty926, if you want to be less scared, play the game without headphones and take it slow. When I played, I dreaded going to different rooms, so I took the time to devise plans on where to hid and such. That way, when you encounter a monster, your prepared; when your prepared, you won't panic as much. I feel that playing with a friend reduces the feel of the game way too much, but if you really need to, do it

This part mystifies me. What does "not technically, but almost" mean?
