Ok a few things

Post Reply New Topic

I used to experience this, I used to not be able to look at amputees. But one day all of a sudden I can look at the most disgusting thing without feeling anything. Also has anyone ever had what I had where I used to have to fast forward through shows where the person was embarrased?

wow i do that! (the fast-forwarding)

Me too.. but I also fast forward through the slobberfacing and sex scenes as well.. considering the state of american television these days though you just end up fast forwarding from opening to ending credits.

Yes! I do that all the time.

Yeah the way ive stopped is because I went a specialist that works with the head and trying to make your body work again. And she said to not have anxiety put two fingers on your head below your hair one on either side of your eye or above each eye and imagine what the anxiety is and it really helps especially with the show cold case.

It's very interesting how you wish to avoid parts of a show in which someone is embarrassed.

According to this one theory, autism spectrum disorders result, at least in part, because we are overly sensitive to empathy. So as youngsters, we feel more "hurt" by another's suffering and therefore wish to avoid it. As a result, we lose the ability to empathize with others.

Any thoughts?

This kind of rings a bell. I also think that we are more normal than we think we are, but with time we create so much defenses (psychonalysis) that we forget about this. The thing is why we create so much defenses? maybe because of this theory?

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has a problem with sex scenes. If there's anyone else in the room I just cannot bare to watch anything like that. I'll have a panic attack. It just doesn't make sense. I wish I could get over it.

That would be my son. He was 2 months old, and at Thanksgiving, his grandfather gave his 3 year old sister a surprise attack hug which made her giggle - we never saw him react so intensely before. He did one of those crys that starts out silent because it's gathering steam and just went beserk.

We all looked and thought - he's only 2 months old - he can't know what's going on? Does he think his sister is in trouble? I have a couple other examples - and they are all from before he could even say "mama."

Hmmm...

I remember being that way as a young kid - but I'm still like that now. I get embarrassed when people sing happy birthday to someone else.

(by the way, my first post)

lol, you definitely aren't the only one. My face gets flushed as I always feel that it isn't something I should be seeing... as in, it's not meant for the world to view 2 people together, lol-it's intimate and I'd rather have nothing to do with anyone else's intimacy, lol. It's odd-it's only a movie, but it still bothers me.

ahhh i cant look at amputees either, it like bothers me sooooooooooooo much i dont know why!

It's not the sex that bothers me with those scenes, it's the damn emotional content that people INSIST on putting there along with it.

When I was little, I used to hug myself tightly when I walked past a beggar or an amputee.
Now I can watch the scariest of horror movies and not feel the tiniest bit scared.

I just have a problem with sex scenes in regular tv not porn because its like why do we have to have a sex scene in such a amazing show that shows nothing just you have to wonder what they are doing other than kissing.
