Horror is subjective.
What don't you like about it?
Horror movies are pretty much the only movies I watch.

I wouldn't worry OP, lots of normal people don't watch them, and if you like them too much, people start looking at you differently.
I'd say the less exposure to the genre the better
Things like gore and jump scares are less impressive the more you see them
Too many horror movies get hung up on being 'omg so scary' rather than just being good fucking films with that sort of disturbing imagery

I only watch old atmospheric horrors with little to no jumpscare shit

The Thing is a monster movie and nothing more unless prosthetics scare you

Fucking bait, kill yourself

Dont worry about it anon. you're not alone.
Sometimes horror can be funny.
I can't imagine ever taking a horror film seriously.

No most of it is just shit.

Maybe. A lot of factors can fuck with your ability to enjoy it.
Horror, like any other genre, has good and bad movies. It's far from immune to the corrupting influence of marketing in it's narrative. Shit writing, or acting, or effects can ruin the whole thing easily.
Although Horror does have a unique hurdle to overcome. A lot of people feel compelled to take steps to avoid feeling any fear or anxiety. If you start off determined to resist immersion, you'll likely succeed. That's true for any narrative, but unique to horror is the need for some to see it as something to conquer. As if overcoming a passive experience is in anyway relevant.
