    Used to be desensitized to violence. But after getting out of some personal life situations. I somehow got “resensitized” never thought it was possible to be resensitized and feel nauseated by violence and gore again until i was. Even hospitals make me queasy now. Kinda dont mind it. The only real downside is sometimes there are some really interesting and good shows that are very difficult to get through, like westworld is a good example. That was very tough to watch. And ive seen quite a lot of real people die. It doesnt seem to matter if its real or not. I just feel nauseated now by it for some reason.

    Its very interesting personally. Always wondered if theres anyone else out there who has resensitized themselves (whether by accident or intention)

    I feel like i appreciate things a lot more since being resensitized to violence and things. Im more content with life than when i was desensitized to it. Not sure if its related or connected though.

    Also. Love your username op. Windows is indeed malware, and also spyware.

      I have a friend that used to be super into watching morbid stuff like gore and snuff videos. He stopped a few years ago and last time I asked him he told me that he can’t handle them anymore, same goes for another person I know.

      In my case I’ve never been able to watch too much of those things, but I know I’m able to handle situations where blood and stuff is involved as I’ve studied anatomy with dead human bodies and also worked with injured people. I like to think I’ve had a bit of a healthier relationship with the effects of violence on humans.
