You're not too sensitive lemon, different people just enjoy different things, and not everyone likes to be frightened. I think the people that do enjoy them like the adrenaline rush more than the gore and stuff itself (but there are people who like the twisted bits too).
I don't enjoy horror movies particularly but I'm not really 'afraid' of them. I think there's too much of a reliance on jump scares and the music. Like if you listen to a different song when they're happening, it turns into a comedy almost? Or just using body horror as a crutch instead of anything psychologically scary (like saw does). People are scared by different things, and I definitely have my triggers but most movies you can guess what's going to happen like a minute or two before it happens. "Oh, they go into the woods to make out and the killer is there and kills the guy while he's on top of the girl and the girl gets splattered with his blood and screams then it cuts to someone else and they go down to the basement to get something and discover a black and white picture of the murder with their family back when they were happy-" It's just gotten so cliche now.
I honestly think Gone Girl was more of a horror, just because it shows how sadistic and calculating narcissists actually are instead of just focusing on their grandiose aspects.
