Try to imagine the following:
You're 13 and having a sleepover at a friend's house to play minecraft for the first time.
You know absolutely nothing about the game and neither does your friend.
It's 2AM and it starts to rain and storm outside.
You find a village for the first time.
Coincidentally it becomes night time in game and starts raining.
You go in a villager house, because you know night time = bad time.
As you go in you think you see something tall and black in the corner in your eye.
You ask your friend if he saw something, who tells you to stop playing.
Your friend has a bed, however you don't so you have to go out and get wool.
Your friend leaves irl to get something to drink.
After killing a sheep and looking into the distance you hear a demonic screech.
You run back to the village in panic, get to the house, close the door.
Now you gotta remember, I had never played minecraft, the only thing I knew existed were zombies and skeletons. I also believe it was raining, but idk how that would've worked as endermen are sensitive to rain, but perhaps this wasn't the case in the earlier versions?
I run downstairs to get my friend.
On his return, there is nothing to be found, it's turning day and the rain stopped.
My friend notices zombies banging at the door.
We build a staircase up to escape from the roof.
When i'm building away and up I here my friend yell: "OMG I SEE IT"
I turn around in sheer panic to see the enderman at the bottom with his mouth open, screaming at the top of his lungs.
I panic, but think i'm safe as i'm on the roof, so I look at him and fake hit (taunt).
It teleports to me, placing him right in my face in a matter of seconds, screaming even louder, blowing out both my eardrums.
I scream like a little girl, knock my drink over my keyboard.
I fall off the staircase in a pit of zombies, killing me instantly, losing all the progress we made that night.
My friend then screams from the other room, who dies a similar death 5 seconds later.
We respawn, who knows how far away and decided to never head to that village again.
We also woke up his whole family in the process as an added bonus.
After years of therapy (jk) I got over my fear of endermen, but i'm wondering what your first ever interaction with the enderman was! Please share your story, i'm super curious.
It was unfortunate sequence of events with Cave noises first creeping me out... wondering "WTH was THAT?!? Then later finding a Disk 11 in a dungeon chest. Intrigued by it I quickly made a music block and played it... in the middle of it I heard a weird "Its the creator" voice.. and turned around... first ever seen enderman stood in dungeon doorway and started screaming at me! Then rushed at me!
"I thought this was a game children could play" was what I said as I respawned and wondered just where they heck I died at.
For the longest time I associated Cave sounds to Enderman attacks.. It always put me on edge... wonder where I should NOT be looking at, while looking around for it... Not Cool (but SO cool)
When I was playing this game for the first time I already swotted myself up about most mobs, and enderman was no exception.
I don't recall my first encounter, but I do that my early combat against them was fairly stressful, though I either fought from water or fully ironclad, so I typically came out on top.

Dwarf gamer found:
Buildings - square, not round
Materials - from rubble mound
Dark caves - lit 'n' cleaned out
Settlements - deep underground
Farmability - to grinder bound
Shields - made creepers but sound
Axes and crossbows - taking mobs out

That's amazing, these are the type of comments i'm looking for. Totally new to the game, not knowing what to expect and constantly being on the edge of your seat after a good scare. I like that you mentioned cave sounds, those were horrifying haha.

Yeah water is a huge help when it comes to fighting enderman, unfortunately it took me a long time till I figured that out.

I didn't even recognize that it's based of slenderman untill i was told. I thought it was an alien or something.
I absolutly love the horror genre and i did play slender the 8 pages.
So no, the enderman wasn't scary to me. Minecraft has jumpscares, sure.
But the paranoia i felt playing slenderman never got to me in minecraft.
My projects:
-are abandoned for now. I might pick 'em up in the future.
For now i'm working on a private modpack that suit's my own playstyle.
I am gonna stay in modded 1.12.2 untill my potato dies. No mercy! :Q
I remember my first Enderman 'misunderstanding'.
