Is anyone else grossed out by the human body?

[Stick]

Not even in an aesthetic sense like I hate I'm not attractive, but in a sense of just being disgusted by normal body things. Like, when I breathe, the air goes into my lungs, and passes through into my warm veins into the rest of the body. When I'm alone and I hear my heart beat, I shudder. That blood is pulsing through me, I have no control over it. And don't even get me started on bacteria that fucking live inside of me and are vital for life. The body is so fucking gross.
Or the when I eat and feel the food or water land in my stomach... just... no. It's so sick. I am a vessel with nothing inside, that's what I'd like to believe.

Yes yes yes. God it's nauseating

 

[karaboudjan]

Yes, especially thinking about the beating heart, blood pumping around the body, arteries, veins, etc. Makes me feel nauseous.

 

[RottenDeer]

Kinda. On one side I think the body is very interesting. On another side it's nauseating to think about a rotting flesh prison.

 

[ATownSerenity]

Yes. It's gotten better now for me these days. However, a couple years ago, I had trouble going outside in the big city that I live in. I'd feel so disgusted just seeing people and being crammed into spaces in settings such as public transport and seeing life just take place in front of me. It became strange to look at people just in general, almost as if I could see the odors of humans coming off of their skin and out of their orifices. I remember being disgusted with everything and myself and hiding inside a blanket for half a week and only leaving it for necessities or when I couldn't bear being so trapped with my own breathing.

Relatable as heck. Thanks for sharing, and I'm glad you've gotten better. That sounds like a terrible experience.

Only when my clothes are off.
Then it's "welcome to shameville".

 

[Ren Elsie Jewelria]

Regular body functions like breathing, etc. don't gross me out.
Sex, especially porn makes me sick now.

 

[Life sucks]

The body and the whole biology is disgusting. Its bad to reproduce this body thats actually unpleasant even to humans themselves.

People only look at the outer image but ignore the crazy stuff inside. The problem also is not only being gross but the bad design and the high vulnerability and the countless list of possible diseases and problems. One need to eat and drink every day and need to breath all the time and its brutal if someone can't get oxygen for example.

The biological body: Gross and painful. People should really think about this madness and stop reproduction and giving this shitty body to others.

Yeah that makes me literally want to die because I'm so disgusted and scared. I don't mind people talking to me about it, especially if it's important to them, but even then I have to be mentally detached to cope.

 

[Chupacabra 44]

For me, I just try not to think too much about it, but thanks for reminding me.

 

[262653]

Definitely. Especially with what comes out of the body.

I dislike this design whereby living forms have to consume other forms order not to fall into pieces (can be postponed, but inevitable) which eventually will be eaten by other living forms... Eat, shit, eat, shit, eat, shit...

I like the idea of having sex in the dream, I've had some vivid experiences... but RL might turn out to be just way too real... maybe I could tolerate cuddling and touching, kissing at best.
