Comment on Is playing horror games a good way to get desensitized to fear, or it gonna backfire and make my anxiety worse?

Maybe. If that is all you can do, then sure, there will probably be some bleed over into real life.

But remember SAID - Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands. Long term, horror games will not do a whole lot to really alleviate other fears in your life that are holding you back. In order to overcome those fears, you must face those fears.
