Something isn't right inside my head..?!

DON'T GO TO THOSE WEBSITES!!!! THEY'RE SERIOUSLY DISGUSTING AND FUCKED UP!!! GET A LIFE AND STOP WATCHING CREEPY SHIT LIKE THAT!

I think when you watched the people that you did not react because you did not know how to react. Sometimes the brain stops reacting and just waits, and then will process it later. The cat you could react to because it was a bit more removed from humans. The cat may have been the catalyst that helped you actually react faster and that is why you woke up that night. It is kind of interesting in a way how the human brain can obscure things until later to protect itself from emotional overload.

I'd save a human over a filthy animal any day

look up PTSD and get help

If you were offended by the animal cruelty that is a good sign most serial killers start by torturing animals

wtf dude i cant even hear of someone or something being hurt i gota plug my ears cuz i get sooo scared and worry constantly about it.. i wish i didnt care so much cuz my bf thinks its funny when ppl get beat up or sumin or those crazy websites.. ick i couldnt look at it i just pretended i was in a happy place lol but ya thats weird i am totally dif so i have no idea whats wrong with u or if there is sumin wrong? hmm ask a good friend maybe?

You probably are very affected by the human violence as well, but don't know how to 'process' it emotionally. It's VERY disturbing watching that sort of stuff. DON'T DO IT.
The internet has value, but really sucks by making such stuff readily accessible for people to see. If you saw something like that in real life you'd be horrified and remember it for life. Yet we can sit in our family rooms and watch several such events in the way we might watch a movie. You're normal - it's the situation that's not normal.

It's normal. It's called desensitisation. Think about movies like saw where we graphically see bodies being ripped apart. Although it's not real it certainly looks it. And people watch those for fun. To get a kick. It's good you felt sick when reading about the animal. It's probably because that's more relatable but viscous. Animals are essentially helpless from the start. I wouldn't worry too much. Also good you didn't go back to the site. You probably first went on it out of intrigue.

Omg, i didnt realize your comment til after i posted mine :d

i think it also may be because violence toward humans is shown in the media much more than violence toward animals, for example a person getting strangled in a movie is very, very common, but when i saw a dog getting strangled in " I am Legend" i started crying and freaking out. (that doesnt happen to me with movies where people get strangled) maybe it also has to do something to do with not knowing the peoples personality, and if i watch a movie where the person dying is one of the main characters i get sad, but if its just some random person i dont mind much. You never really get to know an animals personality, so most people just define them as nice, cute, or innocent... so it may seem like you know the animal better than the people.

Ever notice that in the theater watching a scary movie people kinda react when there's murders but when amimals die its gasps and tears?
Like in I Am Legend. When Will Smith died I didn't care. When he had to kill the dog I bawled my eyes out.
If you think about it most big time shows, movies, and video games deal with people dying horrible deaths. I think we're all just getting used to random people dying cause we don't have to believe its real.

some people are just not as sensitive to that shit as others. the world needs people like us for the jobs that others wont do. I'm going to school right now for Mortuary Science. maybe you should look in to something like that.

I'm actually the same. When I was reading your story, I read everything without it bothering me, until the cat part. Maybe it's the fact that much of todays media is based on human death. I've been to websites like that, and I don't get affected at all, but animal cruelty really does. I don't think it's exactly normal, but you're not alone.

I'm the same. In the movie 'untraceable' I could never watch the part where the kitten gets killed but I'm fine with the brutal murders of all the people. I think it's because we see and know animals to be innocent and undeserving of such cruel deaths. When humans, on the other hand, or horrible disgusting creatures. We have a natural instinct to hate our own species, for whatever reason. Really, all we do if make shit and then run around and kill each other with it. >>

You aren't sick. Many, many people aren't too disgusted by those things, they just say they are to fit in. Maybe some people here are doing just that.

There are a lot of horrible things going on all the time, and it's hard telling what to make of it or how to react to it all.

All of these things must have made some sort of impression on you whether it's apparent to you now or not.

Maybe when you read about such atrocities in the newspapers from now on, you'll feel more sympathy for the victims.

For now, I suggest that you put them out of your mind and focus on the millions of positive, pleasant things the world has to offer.

I have viewed some disturbing images (in books/manuals) - I had to because of the line of work I do, and I guess from what I have seen in real life equivalent I have became very much desensitized - it took a long time initially but now I feel I do not become personally emotionally involved. One thing I hope might help you is from my own experience the image becomes less vivid as time goes on, perhaps try not to revisit this site or similar ones.

thats weird, i seeen a site like that called areyouoffended.com and it was full of them, people being hanged and stuff. i don't know why i looked at the pictures and watched the clips, it was just grusome curiosity. i wasn't phased, i feel immune to feeling bad for someone being crushed to death or something, i don't feel fucked up, my friend was the same, i feel its just ignoring our emotions, your just worrying about your ignorance

I think you're expressing your unhapiness by being disturbed at your nonchalance. Maybe they didn't have a direct effect on you but unconsciously they are taking a toll on you because you're unhappy weeks later.

Don't be concerned with the fact that the clips didn't bother you so much though. Their is a high probability that because they don't directly affect you or a friend they don't really bother you.

im the same i see people get hit by cars being stabed and it dosnt fase me atall i mean when im pissed off theres nothing i like more than to hit some one i have absolutly no empathy for humans when i was a child i seen a homeless man get hit by a car and he got hit hard he split all his head open blood pouring out everywhere and i laughed at him
but the second i see an animal getting hurt its diferent i cant take it i get really angry and want to hurt the person doing it i cant even see and animal on a film get hurt
