What is the scariest video you've watched? As an introvert, for me, it was a 63-year-old man talking about his childhood regret, which was not making the first move on a girl who was interested in him (www.youtube.com)

Yeah, as a teenager I got curious and was on rotten.com, damn that website was dark. Some of the things I saw are still with me, I won't describe them because it would be way too graphic. Basically what you said - do not do it there is nothing to be found except suffering.

I still have random intrusive thoughts about it and it makes me physically ill.

That's a good thing in my book, the fact that that stuff still makes me feel bad is proof of my empathy and humanity, if you know what I mean? Like it didn't desensitize me.

Edit: after I wrote the comment I noticed that the website got hyperlinked - don't bother, thank God that site is offline now

I used to watch this stuff. It didn't really bother me. Then my childish curiosity waned and I didn't seek it out anymore. Then I saw a video randomly and I was fucking so disturbed and I thought what is wrong with me that I wanted to see that.

I guess I developed empathy at some point? I've seen some of the videos from Ukraine and they make me sick.
