Then your scare scores will run high compared with the community average and your Scare Tolerance will say so, plainly, in front of everyone. There is no shame in it. There is a little shame in it.
The details
Scare Tolerance compares your scare scores with the Community Scare on the films you both ranked and averages the gap. Within a point of the crowd is Steady Nerve. One to four points above it is Easily Spooked, and further than that is Terror-Prone; the other way is Hard to Rattle and then Unshakeable. It sits at the top of your Taste tab under "How easily films scare you", and it is built from your whole list, all time, so it gets steadier the more you rank.
Scaring easily is not a problem Gasper needs to fix. It means horror works on you, which is the point of watching it. What the app does with it is help you choose. The Community Scare on any film page is a floor for you, not a ceiling: a 6 for the crowd may be an 8 for you. The "Scariest on Gasper" shelf is a list of films to approach carefully. And your friends' rankings in the feed come with their scores, which you can read against their tolerances.
Tips
Rank the films that did not scare you too. A list with only the terrifying ones in it sets your scale high, and then nothing can land at the top. Comedy horror and the quiet, strange films all belong in there as the bottom of the list.
Use the Scare Tolerance of friends as a guide. A friend who lands near you is a better recommender than any list, and a friend who lands far below you is a warning.
