Is it normal to constantly watch/feel like I need to watch shock videos?

  • Before 30 it's normal? You do know the prime age(s) of most serialkillers right? Before 35. Not only that, but some studies show sick/death videos along with other things can cause violent outcomes to those who's brains are not fully developed.

    When you're "old" (LOL) 30's on up if you haven't killed someone or chose that path you're probably A-ok! Watch all the damn videos you want actually.

    I say this because I'm in my mid 30's! lol

    • I see your points. I wasn't saying viewing death videos often is ever recommended. I was just saying I think when we are younger we are more curious in general. The way I was looking at it is most of us are still figuring out life and ourselves until we hit 30, to just use a basic age threshold. I guess I was being somewhat stereotypical.

      My thoughts are that in general people who are, say, 35 + are either married with kids or unmarried and somewhat lonely. I was operating under the thought of this all as a timetable. Say Bob was a normal guy who out of curiosity watched the videos here and there when he was a teen and then a little bit in his 20s. However, never married, now well into his 30s, spends a lot of time alone, and still watches death videos. I expect Bob to have matured to the point of not watching death videos.

      Or even if Bob was married, he should be so occupied with his wife and/or kids and his job/career that death videos shouldn't even be on his mind...don't you think?

      Again, this entire conversation is full of suppositions, but that was my general view, however I definitely see your points. I also was not saying that I am encouraging death videos to the youth (or any age). Me saying it is normal for a specific age group is me saying I understand it more, I guess.

      • Oh I wasn't really going anywhere with my post and certainly not judging or questioning you. More so (also) stereotypical too - that being the brain just beginning to function and while doing so why would anyone want to watch and learn from "death" videos.
        In the same sense those older watching, still watching or ever watching ... could be the same ones who watched when they were younger.

        I don't think just because you watch certain videos it rots your brain. Lots of times it'll make you think. Makes you value life more.
        Then again there's others (I'm sure) who just like to see others hurt or die. I'd say they are the few hopefully.

        I'll click on a death video. Never killed anyone. Not yet (LOL) I don't have it in me unless they hurt someone I really loved or totally messed with my life or someone's close to me.
