10. I feel for you
I have Did /Ptsd myself
I can't stand gagging,booze breath and rape/torture stuff.
I can't watch alot of TV because some jackases think puke is funny or someything.I mean WHY on earth do they have to make such a show of it for?
Also bars are everywhere.I don't go to parties because of the drunks.I'd love to socialize and have fun but there is always some jerk with booze.

And the rape/torture stuff It's in almost every horror flick,it's on EVERY damn crime show,it's everywhere.

I'm sick of it..Since when did rape/torture become "entertainment" (besides witch burnings,racist hangings or gladiators),When did being sick to the point of losing lunch,become"funny"? When didbeing drunk become "entertainment"? To me being in or around ANY of these things is UNPLEASANT and definately NOT entertainment nor is it funny.It's gross sad scary and well traumatic.. When is nausea ever fun for you? Does anyone you know jump for joy when they get food poisoning hoping they can give thier buddies a laugh by getting sick on them?
When is being hurt and abused ever"fun"? When is it ever"fun" to be so drunk you embarass yourself,blackout, act like a jerk and basically poison yourself to death slowly . I think our culture is crazy and sociopathic if this is what they call "entertainment or funny.
And it's not just my PTSD,I think people are so desensitized they can't feel enough emotionally,to understand why this is not good to glorify these things and label sickness "funny" and abuse'entertainment". If you have ever been sick it's no fun,If you have ever been abused it's not entertaining,if you have ever been harassed by a drunk it's not funny.
