Discussion Are you disturbed by your own biology?

[Forever Sleep]

I wasn't meaning so much in a body dysmorphia way but- if you want to express that, that's obviously fine too.

I meant more in a squemish way though. Are you squemish? I am. I don't like blood and guts and thinking about organs that can go wrong.

I also have a slightly bizarre relationship with my skeleton. I have love/ hate feelings towards skeletons. I think they're cool and amazing but also, creepy. Sometimes I'll be in a particular position and picture what my skeleton must look like sitting like that.

I guess it's weird because- what with Halloween, we are encouraged to see them as separate entities so, it's kind of weird to think we all have one inside of us. Like they are us but, we maybe don't exactly identify with them.

Like- I love seeing xrays if I have them done but then, I'm like- euw- that's creepy. That's my skull!

It's a slightly silly thing to talk about I guess but, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

I hate every inch of me just the same

I don't like blood. Mine or other people's. I don't like needles with or without the blood.

I'm not at all squeamish, I actively like the sight of blood and it's a reason why I SH. I'm pretty interested in the inside of the body and like watching gory surgery documentaries and things like that. A lot of art I like is gory and disturbing too ૮₍ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ₎ა
And skeletons I find funny. A bunch of bones just pootling around on the surface of the planet.

I hate thinking of how horryfying we all look inside, and in a lot of ways, outside also. All living beings, except plants maybe. Nature is so fucked up, but also we perceive it that way because we are programmed to. If rock people existed, imagine how terrifying buildings would look to them. Or any cave. It would suck to be a rock person.
