Tension may be very important in a story, but I'm not very comfortable with tension. I know this sounds embarrassing, but I get very nervous when tension is building. I'm afraid of what happens next in certain situations, I don't like suspense.
In fact, sometimes when I'm watching a show or a movie with a suspenseful moment, I'll either change the channel and change it back later or fast-forward it depending on whether I'm watching tv or a movie. And if several other people are watching the show, I'll leave the room and come back much later.
I also don't like tension between people, such as when they argue or when someone gets mad at another person. Why can't we all just get along? Maybe it's just me, but that's just how my brain works.
Frankly, I just don't like tension. I've never been comfortable with it. Is this normal? What's my problem?
