So heres the story /b/ros.
I was browsing 4chan like I usually do, just chilling and minding my own business in my house when my mother saw the thread I was on. I was lurking on a rekt thread and watching the shit like I usually do but my mother was so shocked and started yelling at me. I don't really get why she's so mad at me I mean isn't it y business to watch what I want to? Now she wants to send me to a counselor and I don't wanna go because I don't need to. Watching the rekt threads relaxes me, I'm never shocked when I watch them so I don't understand why she's so shocked and mad. I wish she could understand. do any /b/ros have any advice on avoiding therapy or convincing her that I don't need to go?
Thanks /b/ros

Also rekt bread
If you enjoy rest threads then you are past fixing. Sorry.
>>752500600
Well I'm a pretty normal guy I mean I don't want to hurt anyone and I'm not a psychopath or anything, It's just something about watching somebody die that is so relaxing to me.
>>752500807
fucking nerve gas man...
Curiousity about death is pretty normal for teens, that would be my go too if youre still relatively young.
>>752501038
Well I'm 18 so I guess some people would call that young, but then again I know some others wouldn't so I guess that line is a little blurred
>>752500449
women are insane, understand that
I dunno. I get the fact that this shit can be interesting and intriguing but I dunno if "relaxing" comes to mind.
I dunno man. Not giving you shit I can't see how a rekt thread can be relaxing.
>>752501161
Well I don't know what my father is going to say when he gets home but my mother left to "Calm down"
Tell her that all the cool kids watch it these days
>>752501172
I can't really explain it to you without sounding completely nuts but I'll give it a go.
Basically what I feel when I watch things in a rekt thread is the same as listening to slow soft music.
>>752500449
she's just worried about you, and she should be. it's not exactly normal to be so desensitized to death and gore, however, i am in the same boat as you.
Therapy gets a bad rep. Truth is, you do need it. I need it. We all fucking need it.
depression is a cultural disease, and we're only diving further into the madness.
the fact that you don't want to / don't 'need to' change is, fundamentally, one of our times in humanities biggest flaw.
>>752501257
Yeah I get what you mean that people don't want to change and that's a flaw but it's hard for me to change if I don't want to. I mean if I'm honest i'm scared to change because I don't know what that means for me. It would change me fundamentally and that unknown territory. I fear the unknown
>>752501248
Fair enough bro I'm not here to tell you what's what. If that's your thing that's your thing.
Personally if my son said that I would be talking to him and asking why and going from there. It's just what parents do man.
>>752501257
This.
Well said /b/ro
>>752501350
Yeah that's right. I mean I love my family and friends and I don't want anything to happen to them. But it's the fact that my mother jumped straight to therapy that makes me sad and a little pissed off, I don't think she wants to talk to me about it save, yelling at me that I'm sick.
>>752501445
Man it's probably a knee jerk reaction. We are in a different stage of life also in a different type of environment that was different to theirs when you were her age.
Think of it this way, that's probably the first time she has seen shit like that.
What you are used too can be completely different to someone else.
I get the therapy shit was thrown at you but he'll man let her cool down. Guarantee they will wanna talk to you and that's fine. I'd hear them out and let them hear you out.
>>752501596
Wtf happened here?
>>752501596
>)
sweet does the round go through her and hit him?
>>752501600
Yeah. you're right. I need to chill a little ahah. And I never thought about it like that so now I feel a little bad but yeah, I'm gonna talk to them and see how it goes. I'm still gonna stay on the thread till my father gets home so I can reply but after that I'll go. Will post results in a day or two. However long it takes
>>752501743
>>752501679
It's a suicide. Yeah the round hits them both but the suicidal one didn't mean to shoot the other guy
>>752501248
well the good news is that any therapist will get what you are talking about. I talk to my therapist about shit like that all the time. some people are just like that.
Just let her be freaked out, and try not to take it personally.
Admit that it is a bit weird, and realize they need to try and understand what is up.
From the outside, someone who watches extremely violent and disturbing video ... might have something weird going on with them. It's a natural concern.
Shit, at least you weren't jerking off to it.
>>752501770
Fuck no bro don't feel bad. It's just the heat of the moment.
Just let ya heads cool. I could not understand what it must be like for you bro but wish you the best man.
>>752501861
Haha yeah that would have been an awkward as fuck conversation
>>752501913
Thanks /b/ro
>>752501807
It's really interesting how they each react differently to the same bullet.
>>752501975
Yeah, it must have been where each of them was it. The guy that shot himself could still walk to a chair and sit down, while the other guy pretty much dropped immediately. It could have been the loss of momentum in the bullet in the second guy which could have caused more pain or ripping inside of the body so he dropped faster.
>>752501962
It really isn't that much different than any action movie with big explosions and shit... the fear is that if your kid is into violent shit like that - maybe they don't have any empathy.
Videos like this are hard for me to watch because I have empathy for the person being hurt. It triggers emotional pain. Watching a body being peeled open / dismembered / etc triggers disgust.
So the question is.. why don't you feel those emotions? You could be desensitized. Or you could interpret it differently. Like some people will find it funny, rather than emotionally painful. you say you find it peaceful ( is that correct? ) .
The only rekt's i find peaceful are executions - like shot to the back of the head. I don't know why. The rest of rekt's make me kind of sick.
>>752502172
I saw a guy die like this. I was walking home from school and he was just hanging from some wires. I guess he was trimming trees and the power wires went through the trees or something.
only time I've seen a dead guy ( not at a funeral )
>>752502188
Yeah but I mean all kinds of death, violent, brutal, slow, quick, painful, peaceful. the whole dying thing just does something flicks a switch in my mind and makes me feel numb in a good way, I don't know if that a good explanation or not.
>>752502428
watching someone suffer should probably trigger something in your mind other than "calm". just sayin'.
>>752502188
>>752502428
>>752502503
And I also don't feel empathetic for the people in the videos. I don't know them and I don't understand why I should care about them. It just doesn't make sense to me to feel shitty for people that I don't know and who don't know me.
>>752500449
>a normie saw me 4chan is that bad?
yeah yer fucked /b/ro good luck tho.
>>752502587
most people have empathy for others without a "reason". It is an emotional reaction, not a logical one.
>>752502055
I'd imagine shock was more of a factor. Second guy wasn't expecting it all.
>>752502689
Well then I don't know why I feel nothing for the other person emotionally because it all comes from a logical place. I've never really been an emotional person, I think a lot about what I say and do
>>752502739
That makes sense
>>752502809
yeah its cool man, wasn't judging - I was just explaining how your reaction is different than most people's. And that probably will throw your parents off a bit.
Do you torture animals or anything? have any pets?
>>752502689
Only fags who didn't have a decent father raise them
>>752501257
not bad for a thread on /b/
>>752500782
Holy shit
>>752503024
you think normal healthy people watch violent death and maiming videos and feel "calm" ?
>>752502926
I have a dog a rabbit and a cat. I don't torture them or hurt them. I feed them everyday and pat them all the time. I actually really like animals. Recently one of my dogs died (I used to have two) she was really old and I liked her but again even when something close to me died I wasn't sad and didn't miss her either. She was there and then she was gone and it didn't matter
>>752503086
No but they don't feel upset either
>>752503086
I'm healthy and happy with my family >>752503117
like this anon said I don't feel upset or angry or sad just the calm void
>>752503117
yeah, they do - they feel emotions like "horrified" or "disgust" or "pity" or something. Normal people don't feel indifferent, sorry. I'm not saying normal is great - just telling you what the average person experiences.
>>752503091
That is good to know. Again - your experience isn't really normal, but it isn't bad or anything. I'm glad you can enjoy being with your family and your pets. Can I ask what kind of things make you happy or sad?
>>752503333
I feel joy at those quads
Anon, just say "sometimes it feels comforting to know that my situation could be much much worse. Life is really short and goofy and seeing these things sometimes gives me a new appreciation for how good I have it and how short it can be if I don't take care of myself."
>>752503086
you think most people on 4chan have a good enough sense of what 'normal' means to properly respond to that?
>>752503333
Quads or not you're wrong
Most people simply can't be bothered to care. If it was as you say and things lime this did effect people this way society would screech to a halt.
>>752503333 Nice quads
Well I like to hang out with my friends, smoke weed, have a cigarette and a coffee in the morning, brows 4chan and the internet, watch youtube, go to parties, have sex basic shit you know
>>752503399
Yeah but that would be a lie
>>752503422
"Care" and "react emotionally" are really different things. Mostly we deal with these realities by hiding from them, and peering at them through the cracks in the wall.
>>752503410
This
>>752503506
Lol no people don't hide from it, and if you can't feel about something and simultaneously not care...
Well my fathers finally come home so I'm gonna have to talk to him. Imma leave now and post a thread later or tomorrow on /b/ about the results of the talk see you later /b/ros

The mentally ill don't often recognize their behavior as wrong and consider themselves normal.
>>752500679
thats fucked
>>752503613
"Parkoooooooooooour !"
>>752500449
>I don't need one
Then go, and the counselor would agree if this is true and you won't need to go anymore
Or move out you literal 12 year old
>>752505642
Bullshit.
Find one therapist on this planet who will turn away patients, regardless of their mental health. It’s how they make a living you faggot
>>752501445
You should star in your own rekt thread and literally kill yourself you pathetic fuck, not understanding why "mommy is worried". Fuck your type who see rekt threads as calming or whatever how the fuck up you try to justify it. You have serious mental illness issues, if you don't keep that shit to yourself, you're gonna die
>>752500842
blew half the nigger right off him
>>752500568
holy fuck ahahaha
>>752500449
Nothing wrong with browsing gore but if it produces no reaction at all you may need some therapy
>>752500449
> Gore
> Relaxing
Nigga that is some mental illness shit. Do what your mom says faggot.
>>752500449
She can't make you go if you're 18 or older, so underage b&
Gore can sensitize a normal reaction to something bad which would be ew to yummy. She is concerned if it gets to the loving it part then your wires are fried/crossed. You should be glad she cares...
I'm back from talking to my father /b/ros. I've agreed to see the therapist once to trial it. From reading the non-autist posts I've gotten a better idea on what I need to do, thanks /b/ros for helping me out with it.
>>752508133
I don't love gore but I don't hate it either I can however say that I enjoy it. Like I said I watch it to relax
I honestly didn't think this thread would still be here when I came back
>>752501095
I'm 19 and we're teens, not kids, but not full grown, that's why we're adolescent/young adult.
>>752501975
Yeah, really interesting, for a fucking psychopath.
>>752504880
the emergency stop buttons on machines like that just lock up the machine to prevent further harm to itself, it's not always exactly optimized to prevent harm to the user, sometimes the emerg. stop could cause more harm to the user
If people feel so sensitive to rekt threads why do they watch them. wouldn't you need to be desensitized to watch them?
>>752500679
It cause its not u die so naturally u happy don't sweat it broh
>>752508954
>>752503032
can you explain the image to a potato?
>>752509298
>>752501975
>>752502055
No, the guy who knew was about to happen (shooter) was pumped up full of adrenaline, while the other one wasn't, felt pain, was shocked and acted by instinct
>>752500449
Just remind her that the romans who were the most developed and succesfull people at their time, they showed live violence at the colosseum. People has this inner urge to see gore, and its definitly better to see it on a screen than to make it happen. Allso, its healthy to just face that earth can be a fucked up place from time to time.. atleast thats my opinion
>>752500449
How the fuck do you get caught watching a wreck thread. Videos are tiny, she would have had to be right behind you AND they have no sound
>>752509581
good opinion 8/10 would use but I got some pretty good advice
>>752509624
Well I have a table right behind a glass sliding door, my laptop was visible through the door and my mother was looking through it and saw the video
>>752509721
What was the video?
>>752501638
Asignfromgod.webm
>>752509866
It was the cartel video. the one where he's still alive and he has no face and shit
>>752501372
fake as fuck
I work with teens in your situation and tbh your best move is to be super compliant and stick to the line 'I understand why this looks alarming' rather than being defiant. Just go along with whatever it is and try to calmly explain it isn't some creepy fetish or a desire to hurt people, it's just interesting (I hope this is true)
Being defiant will land you in services, dude. Every teenager I know who thinks they can convince a social worker/therapist they don't need help ends up getting help
You don't want to end up at the place I work lol, full of 'at-risk' teens that range from /pol/ dudes to genuine gang-involved nignogs
>>752510078
Got ya! good idea /b/ro
You have autism like the rest of us dude.
Better get ready for a hard life.

>>752501517
>>752509942
So it wasn't a rekt video. It was a gore video you were watching. There's a difference between watching accidents and watching torture. You probably do need therapy.
>>752500449
Try moving out of your mother's house. You're a 40 something year old small dicked kiss-less virgin. She ought to send you to counseling for that.
>>752500449
I think you're sick, I only lurk rekt threads for curiosity and for adrenline kicks because I really feel with those victims and by watching rekt reads I wanna be more resistent to such things
>>752501151
just needs a bit of heat and you've got yourself a fresh kebab
>>752500449
So heres the story /b/ros.
I was browsing 4chan like I usually do, just chilling and minding my own business in my house when my mother saw the thread I was on. I was lurking on a rekt thread and watching the shit like I usually do but my mother was so shocked and started yelling at me.

Show her some trap breads. She will forget about rekt.
When i come across rekt threads I’m not relaxed. Some are a little bit too much for me and I like to pretend to myself it’s either a movie or a game so my head really doesn’t get fucked with. But a lot of them where it’s not so snuffy I just sit back and think (not trying to sound like a faggot) how life can just be completely normal, you’re just doing your thing...aaaaaaaaaannnnnnnndddddd a car just fucking took you out. Or a simple slight margin of error that shouldn’t be a big deal ends your life or leaves you permanently damaged.
cartel and isis stuff is shit, it's guys getting fucked to death by heavy machinery that is actually worth watching. executions and torture get boring really fast. traffic accidents are a bit hit and miss.
>>752512369
Speaking of traffic accidents, do you know if this is true or not? I've heard in China if you hit someone with a vehicle that you have to pay all their medical bills even if they literally dove in front of you trying to get hit, but if they're killed you only spend like two months in jail and then you're realized, so often times when someone gets hit by a car / truck etc in China, the driver opts to run them over a few more times to make sure they're dead because they'd rather spend the two months in jail than pay the medical bills.
>>752501975
The bullet likely stopped in the second guy, so all the energy was released into him. The bullet was also likely not moving in a strait path after it exited the first guy so it would naturally cause much more pain. This is why you use hollow point ammo for self defense, round nose wont stop a target unless its a head shot or shatters a bone.

Sure, if you say so buddy
>>752500449
You are on 4chan... chances are pretty good that you actually do need therapy.
And "deciding for yourself" what you want to watch only applies to adults. Adults dont live at home with their parents. So the answer to that is no, you dont get to decide for yourself
>>752502809
That is a text book definition of a sociopath
>>752500449
You do need therapy for being on /b/
>>752500729
Perfect crime
Therapy is gay af. Its like admitting you're not a confident alpha. I would stand your ground since you're 18. If they somehow force you into therapy overplay it. Make everyone believe you would stab them in the throat if they ever crossed you. Your parents will be too beta to go against you then. If they believe in therapy theyre weak and waiting for an alpha to put them in their beta place. Ascend out of the faggot zone OP, become a psycho chad!
>>752500449
Just tell her it's morbid curiosity, tbh it's not as abnormal as you think
i opened out to my mother and told her when i was around 13-14 i would watch people die all the time, going on shocksites all the time, i eventually found that I couldn't grow any empathy towards what i saw and became desensitized to all of the violence. I'm much older now, and occasionally look at rekt threads to get a reality check of what's going on in the world instead of being a pussy and shutting a curtain around myself to ignore the world i live in. it is immoral to watch these things over and over for entertainment, but i understand now that it helps me cope with being a more realistic person and not be someone like your mother who believes that if someone goes out of there way to examine more of what this world offers. you're still young dude, I'd take advantage of your age and just say that you want tp understand more of the world around us, then go with the flow of the counselor says until they leave you alone.
>>752500449
The fact that watching people get brutalized and murdered in horrific ways makes you calm and relaxed is proof that you are mentally ill.
Go to counselling, you need it. Your mother loves you, and you're too retarded to recognize it.
