I realize this is a weird thing to say but it's true. For example, in the new Resident Evil demo, I couldn't even get past the first encounter with the zombies. The point at which they realize you are there is when I turned it off, not even one shot fired. What I realized though is that I'm not actually scared of the zombies per se, but more of the inevitable fact that my character is going to die. This fear is because of, and directly correlates to, my poor skillset as a gamer. If I was more proficient I'm sure I would be willing to charge into the mob of zombies with gusto but instead I cower in fear trying to remember whether I'm supposed to hit circle or square...
