(21,020 posts)my take on it as well.
My mind is a sick and twisted place all by itself. It never fails to scare the holy living shit out of me on a regular basis. I don't need to be adding to my nightmares.
And in truth, I never really got over the trauma I experienced as a child when I saw "Lassie Come Home". I absolutely loved animals as a child...still do.
The idea of a poor doggy being lost and alone just ripped my heart to shreds when I was a kid. My parents were at a loss as to how to comfort me. It didn't matter that it was "only a movie". I knew that somewhere in the world, that movie reflected real life and I couldn't stand it. Still makes me cry to this day.
anyway, I can't tolerate anything suspenseful or bloody or scary. They make me physically ill.
