Are you sensitive?

Extremely, although have been numbed somewhat by SSRIs

When I was off Citalopram a few years ago (not long before I had a catastrophic mental breakdown) I was constantly crying listening to music, and not just Joni Mitchell—I was crying to Autechre

My therapist from the Bristol years helped me see the obvious—that depression is for me preferable to anxiety, that depression can in fact form a defence against anxiety.

I can't watch scenes in films/TV where people are getting embarrassed/shamed or whatever. I mean, I can watch them but if I've seen the thing before I will often fast forward these things.

re "does the news make you feel bad?" I would say yes and my response to it is to completely ignore it

I can't work out if my disconnection from world events is 1. the sensitive response of a christ-like empath 2. the laziness of a bone-idle scrounger 3. the narcissistic wallowing of a megalomaniacal monster

Honestly, nothing. Idk the context, but the moment you put your hand on the scruff of someone's neck like they're your sonny-boy, an apology isn't imminent, but a broken arm is.
Having said that, Steve O is notorious troll & it might have been restraint on Reakwon's part.
Don’t know the context

i went to see substance a while ago that movie about cosmetic surgery and somehow i assumed it was some sort of psychological thriller or drama so i wasn't really prepared for what was coming and i think i spent 70% of the movie tucked in under my jacket because i couldn't handle all the gore. what was interesting is that sometimes i would peak around me and look at all the faces turned towards the screen and all the people having not a single bit of emotion on their face at all. completely blank. it was as if they were watching something completely ordinary. i told myself they were all psychopaths.

How do you think being sensitive played into working in a prison?

I mean, I'm assuming you're far from conflict adverse but on the other hand you have to be quite sensitive to anticipate issues arising...

What about people who laughed along with the film and deeply enjoyed it? For multiple viewings?
