Is it normal to be generally impossible to disgust?
Supposedly disgust is one of the "core" emotions. You know, a very animal, instinctual feeling. But somehow or another, I developed in such a way that disgust gradually started disappearing from my emotional palette. When people say "eww" I just don't get it anymore. I don't find ugly people disgusting, I don't find unclean people disgusting, I don't find foreign food, garbage, rot odour, or bodily functions/fluids disgusting. I've been thrown up on by a dog and thought nothing of it. The only thing that gets to me is blood and gore, but my reaction is more of fear than disgust. I feel disturbed and frightened, rather than grossed out. And even this is limited, as I have seen pretty much the worst real life gore possible, and I'm only disturbed for a few moments. In a way I feel blessed, because I can approach and study things other people run away from, and that I think it goes hand-in-hand with being open-minded about not just sensual stimuli, but even concepts that might disgust someone more closed-minded. In fact, I see disgust as more of a weakness than a defense. So, is it normal to very rarely be disgusted?
