Desensitized

Last year my roommate would often make me watch videos and look at pictures on Reddit/r/spacedicks. Now that he has shown me all of the gory shit that I wish I had never seen I feel like that shit does not bother me at all anymore. I dont know if this is a good or bad thing? Has the internet desensitized anyone else?
 
yes, me.

operations / death / generally nasty stuff.

i am now mostly immune to that shit.

also, i would say it's good because it means you won't freak out if you have to deal with it in a real situation.
 
I study medicine, one day in the E.R. was enough to desentize me for life.

I can't get phased by anything any more.

I have all the characteristics of a human being: flesh, blood, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust.

But there is no real me. Only an entity. Something illusory.
 
I've been working in the ER for almost a year, AND I lived with roommates who spent 4 years in college showing me every gore/shock/nasty video they could find on the internet haha. The only thing that I can think of recently that actually slightly bothered me was watching a doctor drill an IO into some lady's shin without pain meds because we couldn't get peripheral IV access. She was screaming bloody murder and you could smell the burning of the drill going into the bone. Other than that, not much really can get to me anymore. I fucking love the ER.
 
I get to poke around on dead people every tuesday. It doesnt bother me at all to see someone without their skin and the top of their skull missing.

But im sure ER situations like what AR6 described are a totally different experience. Ive seen some grnarly dental procedures but at the end of the day they are very small compared to what happend in the ER.

A sinus lift is by far the hardest thing ive had to watch. I thought the ladies head was going to explode
 
Around new years we had a guy who had blown of his crown jewels and both hands with a big piece of firework. Fuck his screams were the screams of death and agony, straight from hell and the sight of mangled man-jewels is never pleasant. The only time I was slightly phased.
 
I shadowed a nurse anesthetist and watched a full knee replacement. At first I had to sit down 'cause it was kinda gory but then after a couple minutes I was like whatever and then we went and viewed other surgeries and got to see peoples spines and what not. Now I'm not as affected by stuff like that, it was all actually really cool!
 
Yeah there's a huge difference between dead bodies and anesthetized patients than real people in real pain. I've seen some messed up stuff in my job and I'm completely desinsitized to dead bodies. I once found a decapitated body and had to go searching for it's head which was no big deal. I've pulled bodies from burning buildings and their skin has all fallen off in my hands. But seeing live people in pain is horrible. Car crashes are the worst. People area always screaming and crying.

I recently went to a car crash where the driver was in a bad way - he was making some horrible nosies and once we got him out of the car the Dr's started to operate on him in the middle of the road to drain the blood that was pooling in his chest (he was semi-concious). I had to hold his legs still whilst the Dr's inserted IV's into the top of his legs by his dick...then his parents turned up on scene and saw him there. Their screams were unreal. He had two massive cardiac arrests whilst he was being treated in the road and although he got to hospital alive he died shortly after. I didn't sleep much that night.
 
The Internet in its entirety has desensitized me to things.....other than gory injuries like chemical burns and pussy wounds with bones sticking out. But being a lifeguard, I have to deal with cuts and wounds all the time so bloods nbd
 
I didn't know was space dicks as i clicked and read this thread. it sounded gross but could onl be so bad, right? so i Google searched "Reddit/r/spacedicks" and clicked the first result. Redddit.whateverslashwhatever so i"mm scrolling through and saw some things i never needed to see and for some didn't even know what was happening until i bisected what was happening. i swear to god it sure opened up my mind. so i don't even know what to say...

..... maybe i was sheltered.....
 
I feel like the internet is not going to desensitize you like living through some of these stories will. I don't care what fucked up pics you're looking at
 
I've seen so many dash cam accidents when a truck coming at me doing 70mph crossed into my lane and right off the shoulder (i think the driver fell asleep) like 20 feet in front of me it didn't even phase me enough to slow down or anything.
 
Wow. I've been watching you post for about a week and thought some dude just copied AR6's icon, but it just clicked with me that you did a name change.

Never figured that you would change your name. Mini-Mindblow.

Yeah I only did it for that massive thread. It will be back to normal in a few weeks. Never thought I would change it either, but it was kind of liberating haha.

However, if you happen to see someone named Diabeetus_Jesus next month, it may or may not be me.
 
I just found this, I don't know if it was the horrible parenting or the sound, I was phased.

i don't think anybody on earth is truly desensitized. certain situations such as seeing a loved one gored up or being injured severely yourself simply cannot be prepared for.

a friend of mine nearly witnessed a kid die at a hockey game recently. the kid got his wrist slit by a skate and was bleeding out onto the ice. luckily a paramedic was watching her son who was playing in the game and she happened to be feet from the door to the ice. with the severity of his cut he would've been dead in 30 seconds had she not been right there to tourniquet the shit out of his arm

my friend said people puked upon sight of the amount of blood. luckily the kid was okay but still.... people underestimate how frightening some things can be.
 
When I made this thread I meant desensitized to things on the internet but I guess it can be in person to lol I would pass out if I saw some of the things people on this thread are talking about.
 
You may think you're "Desensitized", but you're not. You're just not. Just when you think that you've seen the worse, and have "had enough internets for the day", there is always much worse.

Just think of the absolute worse thing you can imagine it, and someone has already one upped you. So much gnarly shit out there that you wouldn't believe would still happen in the modern world; let alone be recorded and uploaded.

Fuckin' humans. amirite?
 
Seems about right. Plus there's as world of difference when it comes to seeing something on the internet vs in real life. I saw some fucked up stuff on 4chan back in the day but if i had ever seen it in real life it would have been so much worse.
 
I'm desensitized to things I see on tv or online. That story changes fully if it's put into a real world scenario. I don't care about seeing blood, but if there's ever someone in pain and screaming or whatever, it fucks me up. It makes me feel sick.
