But watching physical pain I usually don’t feel.

Or like if somebody is clearly struggling on an exam in front of me… or if they’re having a bad time in Splatoon 3 for the Nintendo Switch… or if they clearly feel insecure about themselves. It’s emotional distress that’s contagious. I think it might just be that physical pain is pretty normal to me?

I love the trope that goes “women faint at the sight of blood”. Women… fainting… at the sight of blood. Women. Fainting. At the sight of blood. Hhmmm

That’d probably be bad to watch. Like if someone was carrying something heavy and their back clearly hurt

I faint frequently and it’s because of an overreaction to the stress response. Less body trying to calm you down and more body trying to prepare you to fight. And fucking up, at least in our case, because we can’t handle adrenaline

I also have the problem of “just because I have strong physical reactions to stress doesn’t eman I have strong emotional reactions”

it is kind of natural to assume your body will react negatively when seeing things that aren’t meant to be outside of someone’s body

exception against rule

#2198

There’s a not-insignificant reason that blood would be meant to be outside one’s body

i cant speak for all cases but specifically in the case of vasovagal syncope its a flaw to have it, its normal to be displeased at most but not faint
