I agree, I'm not usually disturbed by fighting or bloodshed unless its my blood you know what I mean? I grew up on violence, violent family, violent school environment, violent streets, violent friends, violent music, violent TV shows, violent video games, violent movies and violent porn. I'm fairly desensitized to it, the thing I hate the most about scary movies is the suspense, the loud drums and sudden movements make me jump and trigger my fight or flight adrenal response.

I can't stand when people get angry at me, I have a low tolerance for negativity in person now to. Since I started therapy I've been learning how not to think so negatively and when I see the same kind of thinking in people it gets on my nerves. Last time I was with family and my uncle got angry talking about politics and the combination of his tone, content of his rant and the way he was thinking triggered me. I walked away with my ears covered and had a panic attack in in quiet. Then I exercised the anger off, let out some grief and private and had a headache for the rest of the day.
