How well do you handle sad things?

[Deleted member 7448]

I used to watch videos of people dying on the internet. I watched ISIS executions, mexican cartel lynchings and beheadings. I'm fine with gore, it doesn't move me at all, I don't even blink at them.

But sad stuff... I just can't handle it, at least for the last few years.

Animals hurt or starving or in distress, stories of orphans, thoughts of my parents getting old and dying and being sick. Stuff like this just makes me want to shut my brain down, avoid these thoughts altogether. I don't cry, but this stuff just makes my mind feel ... fragile, it makes me feel really bad.

I guess it's cause I'm so dead inside most of the time. I feel very little emotions in general, I just go through life in a routine with no new things or feelings. So when I experience something sad, or anything at all really, it makes me feel very, very bad.

I've built this little comfort zone recently. My mom, dad, my cat and me, living in this apartment. I don't want it to change, I don't want us to grow old or sick, I don't want things to get better or worse. Don't need riches or fame, I just want this little life I have to stay as it is.

We are still in a primitive time tbh

no I don't handle them well at all anymore, I used to listen to sad music all the time in high school but now finding an old sad song is like stepping on a landmine

Yes, absolutely. I can't listen to music at all any more. It's either sad music which I can't handle well at all any more, or music that reminds me of the times I listened to it in the past, times which I really don't want to be reminded of.

you can still seek out new music and I do all the time, but it's sad that I've "poisoned" so many good albums by overplaying them during bad times

Media can't make me sad anymore. The only thing which makes me sad is when I'm not distracted by media and think about the state of my life. Or when I'm outside and get triggered by normies doing normie things

That's true, but I've kinda poisoned music in general for myself. I've ruined all the music I've liked, like Radiohead, Muse, System of a Down, Evanescence, Foo Fighters etc.. even my guilty pleasures that I'm ashamed to admit I like, like Lana Del Rey (her music is really good when drunk), I can't listen to any more, I just have too many horrible memories.

I cant handle gore or sad shit at all. Gore is fucking making me sick

same here, but you can just start watching random shit on youtube and letting it create mixes for you, eventually it leads you to new music you like

Well for gore, I suppose it depends on the context. If it's someone who died instantly or very quickly, but it just looks nasty, then that doesn't bother me too much. However watching people being tortured or slowly dying is just awful, and I feel pretty much the same way about animals too.

The only thing which makes me sad is when I'm not distracted by media and think about the state of my life.

Yeah, when I stop watching something and then remember that I'm ugly and that my life is shit.

Sad videos and movies used to move me but they don't anymore, so I guess I handle them well.

 

[starystulejarz]

I'm indifferent to gore and sad things makes me more depressed so i avoid it.

 

[PM_ME_STRIPPERS]

its because we know death happens, but torture of animals etc is disgusting

I laugh and experience sadistic glee when others suffer. That's the only positive experience I can have nowadays. But I rarely get to experience it bc these normies are so fucking happy with their lives and shit!!!

Yeah, same here.
I do not listen to depressive music anymore, I do not watch sad drama movies anymore. Reading about extremists, radicals, and fundamentalists is almost comforting, in a way. I think Goebbels, when he and the other Nazis killed themselves, said something like "At least we have lived decently for 12 years". And I feel I can somehow understand that attitude. 12 years of a good live and then going out with a BANG rather than a whimper is not so bad a thought, tbh. And all these cults and extremists, well ... they live radically different and then they go out with a bang lol. But the idea of just rotting away and finding your parents dead in their bed, all the depressive things that come with age, with being alone in age. Super fucking depressing. The thought of a "natural" dead is super depressive.

I can handle it very well tbh, probably because i just feel numb all the time.
