Disturbing video

[M_also_lonely]

I have seen the worst kind of videos. (nothing illegal or pornographic).
That includes people eating live birds, cooking live animals, etc.
Even surgeries, shock-scare videos, stuff removals, etc.


I don't go around searching for such content, but it is often found on social media and I end up watching. Not with interest.

I have never felt even slightly disturbed by what I saw on social media. While others would look away from it, I would watch it without the slightest hesitation/

But this one video. Ugh. The video was intentionally being shared to disturb people. Without description, it is being shared. With a funny, music, that just adds to the creep factor. And if you spend a good amount of time on the internet or just social media, you might have also come across the video. But let's not talk about the video itself.

It even made me sleepless at one point. I even vomited a couple of times. 
The thing doesn't disappear from my mind and keeps flashing back at me.

I just can't seem to forget it. It is so disgusting, creepy and disturbing. 
It has affected my focus at work and made me feeling depressed, insomniac and tired.
I have tried distracting myself, but the more I do, the more I remember it. 

Hope I can forget this soon.

Hmm.. 
What video?

M_also_lonely, may I first suggest that you not reference the video for others to watch.  You'd be doing society a favor by ignoring or suppressing such garbage rather than spreading it.

Most of us experience what you've raised many times to various degrees, confirming the charge that what we expose ourselves to does affect us.  We're shaped by what type of media we watch and listen to.  And while we can't control everything our eyes see and ears hear, we can try to focus more on healthful stuff.
 
Just last night, I tried watching a movie, and when I figured out 10 minutes into it that it was a zombie thriller, I switched it off.  I didn't want to watch fiction crap that might give me bad dreams.  I then tried another movie with the same results.  Didn't want to have dreams about being buried in a coffin.  We do have much, if not complete, censorship control.  Exercising it is prudent.

I think the best way to lose thought of a bad video or song is to replace it with another better one - something positive.  Here are two music videos I think fit the bill.  You'd do well if these do stick in your mind.

I won't be sharing/spreading it with anyone since I know how it could affect someone else.
Thank you for your support.

I think Missbehave and i have seen worse. Far far worse.

It doesn't matter if it's worse or not. People have different tastes, so what disturbs one people may not disturb another. What matter is how it impacts you and makes you feel. Obviously the video was really bad for M.

That said....if you know you find them disturbing, why do you keep watching them? Just ignore them or block them.

 

[MissBehave]

Me and Panda are brother in arms on this subject.
Why? 
Why do people speed with their cars, knit, use drugs, collect pig figurines, listen to jazz, like horror movies or sadomasochism. 
Everything and nothing can influence us into a path of wanting or needing to do something. 
Disturbing stuff doesn't give this automated reaction to look away for some of us.

Hope u can for get whatever u saw. It might take a while though.Certain people can be more sensitive to disturbing ****. I've seen stuff that will affect me forever. It's hard to deal with. Makes me more depressed and sad. I try to avoid it as much as i can.

I can understand being shocked, especially if you had no idea what you were clicking on. I'm not usually bothered by such things either but every once in awhile something that might not seem like much to somebody else hits me really hard. Especially if it's something that actually happened. Horror movies, etc that's all fiction that's more easily dismissed, disturbing to some maybe but it didn't actually happen. When it's something that really happened... And you're capable of empathy... Of course you'd be disturbed by it. Then to have it trivialized by silly music, just reminds you how awful people can be.

If this is related to your other thread, I think I know what you're referring to, but I could be wrong. I hope it doesn't continue to haunt you, but I think it would be worse if you were so desensitized that you weren't bothered by it at all, or worse thought it was funny like whoever it was that added music to it.

Thank you!
I am feeling much better now. 
Its actually the story of the subject that makes it worse. 
(Its actually not related to the previous thread. So that's two troubles.)

I think Missbehave and i have seen worse.  Far far worse.

I used to watch these kind of videos. I don't like watching them ofcourse but animal abuse videos used to appear on my newsfeed. Most of them really affected me in a negative way and haunted me for days. But I found a solution: One nail drives out another. I tried to focus on different things in my life that disturbs me.

 

[MissBehave]

I can't watch animal hurting at all. That **** affects me to the core. Can't touch any of it so I also stay away from those rescue story's on YouTube. Incapable of handling that. 
Humans however, I can watch all kinds of ****** up stuff. Guess that says alot.

 

[Winter Fire]

Yes, animal cruelty is the worst. I can't stand that. I was following animal charity pages. Sometimes those pages share animal cruelty videos.

People are cruel. But, animals can be cruel as well. I get nothing out of those videos myself. Even with the police shooting videos, I keep saying, "Just stop and do what the cop tells you to do you idiot! I don't want to see someone else needlessly die." But, it's like they want to be shot so their family can get $millions from the taxpayers because they do.

Yes it is the worst for sure. It makes me suicidal watching those videos. Feel so helpless i can't help animals being tortured

 

[Winter Fire]

It makes me both sad and angry. But those videos help to raise awareness on cruelty and motivates people to take action.

It also motivates others to do the same and worse. Poor Coyote.
