How do you feel when you see a picture of (human) corpses?

Post Reply New Topic

I know that, and ive seen war pictures and stuff. Ive also witnessed my fair share of car accidents. One of them involved a death, I called 911, and I had to stick around to give a report because I witnessed the accident.

I can feel 'some' sympathy for them but thats about it. (Yes,I, a complete monster, can still relate to some things.) I think seeing roadkill and stuff all the time has numbed me to the sight somewhat, especially since I consider humans just another type of animal that has overpopulated the earth.

Seeing and touching a corpse in the flesh is much more differnt

I don't really feel anything either. It simply becomes an inanimate object to me.
However, there are exceptions, (pets, some family members) but not much.
I remember not that long ago (about 6 months) my stepfather shooting a groundhog, and him asking me to take it back to throw it into the woods. Well I did, but not before playing with it and swinging it around by it's legs, propping it up on stuff, trying to make it 'sit.' It was fun flexing it's legs and stuff too, dead groundhogs make wonderful playtime objects!


The only reason why I stopped playing with it was fear of fleas abandoning it and getting on me.

I did look up the Harliquin baby, some time ago. *shudders* THAT was distubing.

I feel as if I am looking at a random inamate object. I don't feel anything. A dead animal only phases me if I am investagating WHY it is dead at the hands of people or if I watched it die horribly. Euthinzia and murder are two diffrent things.

Usually not much, unless they have some kind of meaning to me.

Interested.

Since i wouldn't mind being undead in the first place. <.<

I feel indifference because pictures are not the same. I only feel any effect if I am actually seeing one in real life.

I used to not care at all and that bothered me, so I gave myself a reason to care. Think of all the good things that person could have done if they were alive. That person must have had people who loved them and friends, so it must have caused a lot of pain. Dying must have hurt.

Still, when I see a dead body all I can think is 'what a waste'. Even then, I can't look too long.

I don't react when I see a picture of human corpse, even if it involves blood/guts. Or at least I don't react for the gore itself, but the context (Holocaust / other slaughters victims) can affect me a bit.

I feel scared &/or grossed out, depending on the picture.

Agreed.

Don't care really. It has no effect, for the most part. Sometimes the reality of how fragile and weak life is unsettles me, but that's it. Though I don't like seeing intestines hanging out of the corpse, no, indeed no, that's nasty.

I frequent gurochan.

When I was younger I used to be a member of the Chavoorah Kadeysha, the Jewish burial society. We washed up the corpses of dead people and wrapped them in shrouds in preparation for burial by Jewish Custom. After a while one gets used to it.

It freaks me out pretty badly sometimes. Other times I'm fine. Depends on a lot of factors. I figure it's an instinct a lot of people have because seeing a corpse of your own species means whatever killed them may kill you.
