How do YOU face your fears?

[forks]

I was wondering... how do you guys face your fears/worst fears? (Fears of people/made up people) Some things that I do are:
1. Think, 'Not fears, but friends'
2. Pretend to be my fears (lol)
3. They're not real
I know some are kind of silly but sometimes it helps... so yeah. What do you guys do to overcome your fears?

I have a fear of Slenderman coming out of the closet in my spare room and then ghosts coming out of the window... yeah kinda weird, but I have some ways to face my fears:

-Pack that closet full of boxes and stuff
-Do tons of stuff in there, like I set up my laptop and fan in there and play Feralheart and all sorts of stuff, and then I have my cello in there that I need to practice.
-Wonder how Slenderman would even get in my closet
-At night I keep the lights off to show myself that they're not there

Yeah, weird fear, weird ways to overcome it XD

Ah, I completely understand that. When I looked up Slendy and I saw him in backgrounds of pictures of people... ugh, won't ever do that again lol. I wonder who and why made these things up...? Lol

I somewhat have a fear for having my blinds up a bit when I go to sleep.
What I Do
1. Hug my cat
2. Hug my cat
3. Hug my cat
4. Realize that you can't see them, and they can't see you because it's dark.
5. Stare out the window.

Agh, that's a bit of sarcasm, but I really get up and lower the blinds. xD

Hmm... I fear the dark, despite knowing that
1. Ghosts and shiz don't exist
2. Creepypastas can't come to life
3. Slenderman, even if he existed, could not fit through the frickin doors

I always have a bedside lamp to read or something to calm me as I forget about my fears.
Sometimes I just... Stare at the ceiling until I pass out. Because that's a thing I can do.
'Cause.

Well how to handle really isn't going into much thought when I am afraid but a little saying I tell myself everyday is

Fear is an illusion its only there to stray you from the right path

Depending on what they are, I may or may not wait for an opportunity to confront them. A few years ago, I was afraid of heights. At a playground, I climbed the higheset point. Done. I went on Disney World's Everest roller coaster. Conquerd. Up until this summer, I wouldn't touch bugs. Now I enjoy looking for cute little slugs and snails and roly polies and the like.
I'll never be ready to confront my fear of spiders, though.
