Anyone else completely desensitized?

I just came to this conclusion when I saw this picture a few minutes ago involving parasitic worms burrowing a large hole into some portion of some part of the human body and I wasnt shocked or repulsed a tiny bit...

I think I need to take a break from the internet for real. Life isnt as fun when you dont experience these basic feelings. I almost feel "gross" emotionally because of it.

Man this kinda sucks, anyone else feel this way or felt this way?

It's just medical training, that's what it isNotsogr8one

Haha now that you mention it, when I was younger I would always say I couldnt be a MD because I'm afraid of blood. Maybe I should rethink that. :P

I'm desensitized to a lot of things, due to the fact that I frequent the cesspool of the internet.blooddemon666

Im probably visiting the same pool unfortunatly.

I'm desensitized to a lot of things. Gore and death? not yet, but close........

Yeah you could say, some what. They have so many shows on tv and infinite gross things to see over the internet, that when you see something nowadays, you won't be as shock as somebody who didn't see the same things you've seen.

I would say someone it totally desensitized if he/she can watch one of those terrorist decapitation videow without flinching or being repulsed or disturbed etc.

So TC, unless you can do that, you are not totally desensitized :wink:

Then there is something very wrong with you, just watch public TV for a few days and it should wear off.

well, the pool's closed ;)

Yes I'm guilty of being desensitized. If I can tell myself that no-one is actually dying then I can stomach most anything. BME and 2 girls 1 cup cracked me up and I laughed my way through the saw series (can't wait for Rambo). The last thing I remember being a little revolted by was the level one machete execution in the original manhunt- but I got over that one quickly.

Well I morally object to videos like that but I heard that it was pretty tame compared to some of the stuff in hollywood. Apart from the horrible fact that a man is dying how gruesome is it?

That's exactly it. It is a real human life. No matter how horrible a Hollywood movie is, it's never real, you can always assure yourself that no one is really getting hurt. But that video was like no other, you can actually see him die (apparently), as blood gushes from his jugular. It's the most horrible thing I'm glad I've never seen (i've seen a snippet of it).

Yeah I'll go with what he said. There are a lot worse things out there than 2g1c, I think it scored 6th or 7th on my list of gross things I have seen on the internet.

I am somewhat like you in that fact. As long as nobody dies or gets seriously hurt, then I do not care, but I have yet to seen a snuff tape or even the BME pain olympics or anything similiar because I throw-up the second I see ANYTHING involving murder. I on time visited "the site that shall not be named" and I saw a really disturbing picture and I immediately wiped my harddrive clean and did a complete reinstall of windows just to make sure that picture was gone :(. I am still an internet virgin and I want to stay that way :).

Stay away from the snuff stuff, it's really uncool. Oh and yes /b/ has some truly nasty stuff sometimes. Well I think I'll post my list of freaky stuff I seen, I want to see who can beat me.

In order of grossness it's:

Bifurcated penises, hatchet vs genitals, footage of a guy being flung out of a car at high speed only to be run over at landing, news footage of a dude getting his legs shot off, /b/ imagery, autopsy video, kids in a sandbox, prolapse, 2 girls 1 finger, 2 girls 1 cup, a man having sex with a crab, abortion shock pictures, gif of a pig getting its head chainsaed off, 2 girls fingerpaint, goatse tubgirl genital pumps gone wrong, lemonparty, harlequinn babies, bunny dance.

Oh by the way don't google any of that people. It's really nasty.

Naw, I think I'm good. Thanks anyways ;).

I just came to this conclusion when I saw this picture a few minutes ago involving parasitic worms burrowing a large hole into some portion of some part of the human body and I wasnt shocked or repulsed a tiny bit...

I think I need to take a break from the internet for real. Life isnt as fun when you dont experience these basic feelings. I almost feel "gross" emotionally because of it.

Man this kinda sucks, anyone else feel this way or felt this way?

Come to a few of the scenes I go to every night on the street.

That will desensitize you real quick.

Look at it like this. At least you know you wont freak out if someone really needs your help. Like if your best friend suffered from a compound fracture. Wouldn't you feel pretty bad if you just quivered for a few seconds, let out a loud squeal, and fainted? Meanwhile, your friend dies from shock, in the middle of the woods, on what was supposed to be a "weekend getaway".

I'm desensitized from a lot of things, mainly due to the internet lol. I've been playing games for a long time too, and I have no problem whatsoever seeing violent images of people's heads getting shot off, bodies exploding, etc, but any footage of surgery like needles makes me uneasy. It's so weird lol.CJL182

I know how you feel, when I watch a horror movie or something else involving a bunch of killing and blood with girls, they always freak out and I always look at them like they're stupid because I don't understand why they freak out.jmorey01

haha...so true

I would say someone it totally desensitized if he/she can watch one of those terrorist decapitation videow without flinching or being repulsed or disturbed etc.

So TC, unless you can do that, you are not totally desensitized :wink:

Kritical_Strike

I laugh when I see that stuff. Only because I know it disturbs my friends when I show it to them. Oh well.

Your right it's not even close to being the same i play ultra violent video games all the time and then only watched 1 video of someone being beheaded and it actually made me sick...it was pure evil

Lots of things tear me up inside. If I saw something happen in real life. I would know how to deal with the mental strain. To me, there is no difference between seeing something in real life and watching a video. I feel the same because it still hurts me deeply to see that kind of violence. It's simple really, I won't allow myself to be affected by a feeble attempt to scare me. I would rather stay clear headed.Sushimaster

Good Idea...
