The monsters are gone from your bed and closet.Imagine a faceless skinny man with long arms in a nice, well-pressed suit in your nightmares.You want to relive the days of the Boogieman.There is never fear with wikiHow.To get over fear of Slenderman, read on.When you're done!He will be the one who is afraid of you.
Step 1: You could take him.
Maybe he's 7 feet tall, but he is a stick.You know his name?He's skinny, very skinny!He's acting like a masked man because he was a nerd in high school.If he came at you, you could kick his butt.Think of some names that are similar to Slenderman.A fat boy.The girl is voluptuous.A pear-shaped androgynous person.Is it really?You're going to let Slenderman get the better of you?C'mon.You can do better.
Step 2: Think about his background.
What we know about this guy is that he wears a suit every day.A person wears a suit every day.Either he has a well paying job or he is Barney Stinson.Slenderman is wealthy and educated.He's probably open to reason if this is the case.He likes the aisle seat on an airplane, doesn't eat junk food, watches very little television, and listens to audio books on his commute to work.You can have a conversation now that you know his tendencies.Humans are afraid of the unknown.Barney Stinson is known as Slenderman.It is possible that his move is his creeping into houses.The man is trying to find love.Is it really possible to hold that against him?A woman outside his family wouldn't love that face.Life has been rough.He needs to be cared for.
Step 3: Think about his death.
Think about the other part of his name.He's a man.Like the rest of us, he has hopes, dreams, fears, and desires.He's wandering around the woods without anyone to talk to.How bad of a fate!He prays for death every day.The Slenderman will die.That is, if you think he's alive.He has been dead since the end of the Egyptian empire.He gets a cold a few times a year.He's like the rest of us.It is a mortal.Germanic names end in -man.If you see him, talk about pretzels, beer, and the current economic crisis.Slenderman might be depressed, so you might want to stay away from WWII.He looks terrible in a yarmulke, but no one has seen him in synagogue.
Step 4: Take a picture of his hugs.
Do you know how many people Slenderman could hug at the same time?It would be amazing to be in a group of people all hugging at the same time.Think of the bond!Those arms could keep you warm for a long time.It's up to you to get on his good side.It's highly likely that Slenderman doesn't get a lot of hugs, and lots of people are intimidated by him.Think about hugging Slenderman when you dream about him.He'll start crying and talking about how he was called "Octopus Boy" as a child.
Step 5: He's almost pointless.
The guy doesn't have eyes, nose, mouth, or ears.Think about it.He can't see, smell, or hear you.For real now.If you were blindfolded, chopped off your ears, nose, and mouth, how powerful would you be?It's not very.The squirrel would be able to take you.He probably has a sixth sense.He may see dead people.He can do it.That's awesome.More on that in the future.Even if he does have a sixth sense, you still have 4 that he doesn't.
Step 6: Picture him as a squid.
The arms that come out of his back would be good.If you were to eat Slenderman, think battered and deep- fried.There are articles on cooking calamari and frying it.It would make for an interesting turn of events if you didn't have to eat it.If you can get close enough to Slenderman to chop off one of his arms, you will probably do him off for good.If you're the one who chopped off his arm, he'd probably follow you.
Step 7: Do your homework.
He isn't real, so what's the point in being afraid?He was a meme created by a guy named Victor Surge.Victor Surge lives in Japan.Most of Eric's time is spent on boats.It was terrifying.Slenderman was in a contest.Part of the contest was run by amateur artists who were interested in the supernatural.He is a figment of some guy's imagination.Thousands of people made their own stories with imagination.
Step 8: Do the math.
What little evidence there is made up can't be traced back to Slenderman.He is not real, beyond popular belief.Think about it if he is.If he were real, there are about 7.5 billion people in the world and many more where he could be.Do you think he's coming after you?What made Slenderman show up on your doorstep?He probably won't unless you leave him milk and cookies.If you believe in Santa Claus, you should think of it the same way.How long did it take you to say that?With the time it takes to climb up a chimney, Santa can't hit all the homes in the world in 8 hours.I know it's you.This is the same thing, only he doesn't have a booming laugh or a tummy that rumbles like a bowl full of jello.
Step 9: He could be used as a portkey.
Slenderman is a pretty cool superhero.He can pop up in random places.How sweet would it be?All you have to do is get close to him and hold onto him.In Harry Potter, it's like a portkey.He could teach you how to do it.You're going to become so popular when you start being able to teleport.The big cheese could be Slenderman.All you have to do is think about whether you would use your powers for good or evil.
Step 10: Use him as a toy.
It seems like Slenderman can travel back in time.You know how you wake up in the daytime when you walk around the woods at night?What is going on with that?Slenderman is a toy.Do you want to take the Chem test again?No problem, pal.The jury doesn't know if he's going forward or back in time.Time travel is possible if you go fast enough, but science says traveling backwards in time is impossible.Slenderman is going forward in time if he abides by the laws of physics.That Chem test may not be happening.Sorry.
Step 11: You can find the source of those noises.
It will only make you hear more noises if you sit in the corner and keep your ears open.Get up!Look for its source.Maybe you have animals.If you hear a strange noise or whisper, don't link it to Slenderman.It's probably not him.Slenderman doesn't make a lot of noise.It's anything but Slenderman if you hear a noise.Maybe it's Big Foot making noise.
Step 12: Act like he's your friend.
"Hey, Slenderman!"What's going on?If he's there, you're going to have a slendy party.Do the wave and eat some snacks.He'll be freaked out by your warmth and gumption.No one else has the ability to be friendly and inviting.You might need some low-cal snacks and bottled water.Slenderman is worried about his weight.The tortilla chips are for you.Keep alternatives on hand if you want to offer him some out of courtesy.
Step 13: Don't face your own demons.
You have to be willing to stand up for yourself.You might never get over that if you don't find the courage to let go of your fears.You should remind yourself that the real fear is fear itself, since it's highly doubtful that you'll ever meet him.You're paranoid that he isn't real.Is there something else that scares you?It's a good idea to do a little self-analysis.You're not afraid of tall people or skinny people.What is the bigger issue at hand?That is definitely more difficult than done.Take a notebook and start analyzing your fear.When did it begin?What's the root of it?What times of day is it worse?When does it come up when you're alone, sad, or both?Seeing your own patterns will make you realize how much is in your head.
Step 14: You can overcome your fears.
You're afraid of spiders.You have to stay in a room 12 feet away from a spider until you're okay with it.On the next day, it's 10 feet.You're sitting next to it a week later.The spider is on your hand.With enough time, anything can be used.That's why you hated that Taylor Swift song in the first place.Deconditioning is a process.It works, it's a thing.Go ahead and play the game.Sit there when you face Slenderman.Look at him.Don't run.Stand there until your heart stops.You won't believe it, but you will grow bored of him.You will wonder what frightened you in the first place.Slowly, start doing this.Do it for 5 minutes on Monday.For 10 on Tuesday.You will eventually be unmoved by him.
Step 15: You should calm yourself down.
Don't freak out if you think he's in the house.Take a deep breath, sing your favorite song and walk up the stairs if you think he's behind you in the basement.If your body stays calm, your mind may as well.Take a deep breath.Allow yourself to be breathe slowly and deeply.It gets your heart rate down and makes you think that he's not after you.Your anxiety will be alleviated when you take controlled, relaxed breaths.
Step 16: You can empower yourself.
A lot of this article has poked fun at Slenderman.All the jokes in the world won't help if you're scared of him.The only thing that will help is empowering yourself.You are afraid of what he represents.What he's capable of is not what he is.You will no longer be afraid of him if you change your image.You can realize that you have the power.People are afraid of heights, closed spaces, and clowns.How are other people?Everyone is afraid.When you see Slenderman in his tighty whities, sleeping like a baby in the fetal position, you start giving yourself control and taking it away from him.Don't offer him the snack when you run into him.You have all the power.
