A single picture might be worth a thousand words, but far more impressive is how strongly they can make us feel. There are some images out there that can unnerve you so much that you practically feel them through the screen… even though you might be thousands of miles away from what’s happening.
Bored Panda has compiled this list of images from all over the internet that are bound to make you feel uncomfortable. Scroll down for the best of the worst. But do keep in mind that this list is only for the bravest of Pandas—you may want to be careful if you’re extremely empathetic, sensitive (hi!), or don’t enjoy the company of bugs.
Bored Panda wanted to learn more about empathy, so we got in touch with social psychologist Alison Jane Martingano, Ph.D., an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay, and the host of the 'What Do You Mean?' blog on Psychology Today. She was kind enough to explain to us why it is that we feel other people's discomfort and pain when looking at photos and explained how empathy isn't just a reflex but can also be trained and cultivated, like a 'muscle.' You'll find our full interview with her below.

This reminds me of when Vecna unalives people like Chrissy in Stranger Things
According to social psychologist Martingano, from the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay, the key to why we can feel other people's pain and discomfort when looking at photos lies in our brain's ability to interpret visual cues.
"Humans can glean significant information about emotions solely from visual stimuli, without the need for other sensory input. The activation of our mirror neuron system—a set of brain cells that activate both when we perform an action and when we observe someone else doing the same—plays a central role," she explained to us.
"Specifically, mirror neurons in areas like the anterior insular and the anterior cingulate cortex activate when we witness another's pain, much in the same way they would if we were experiencing the pain ourselves. This accounts for why we might feel a visceral sensation, akin to ants crawling on our skin, when viewing images of others in similar situations."

The host of the 'What Do You Mean?' blog on Psychology Today walked Bored Panda through the idea that empathy can be cultivated. She noted that empathy is often likened to a 'muscle' that can be strengthened through effortful practice.
"However, the extent to which this is possible varies depending on the form of empathy being considered." Martingano said that the automatic activation of the mirror neuron system is primarily biological and "may be difficult to modify voluntarily."
She added, however, that other forms of empathy that are more cognitive in nature can be improved with practice."

Why is there no blood on the stick? Why is there no blood on any of the pics on this page, with the nails through hands and feet, or forks or chargers inserted into feet? No blood anywhere.
Ken Beattie 2 years ago
Because it's the real world not a movie. Why do you think people talk about "If you get impaled by something don't pull it out". It's literally sealing the wound. The pressure of your flesh is holding it in place and forming such a tight seal blood isn't escaping. I tore my knee open falling on a rotten tree stump. There was literally no blood for somewhere between 5 and 10 seconds - until I stood up and flexed my knee and the wound opened up. And that was without a "Stake" sealing the hole.

Though the photos featured in this article might make many people feel others' discomfort, they might not be the best when it comes to improving one's empathy. "Research suggests that ambiguous situations are useful opportunities to practice empathy. When emotions are easy to interpret, there is less opportunity for practice and improvement," Martingano explained to Bored Panda.
"On the other hand, deciphering ambiguous expressions or complex motives can help individuals refine their empathic skills. For instance, interpreting the expression on the Mona Lisa requires cognitive effort and engagement. Research has found that engaging in this way with art and literature offers a useful avenue for honing empathy skills, in addition to real-world interactions," the social psychologist said.
"In a nutshell, empathy isn't just an automatic reflex; it's also a muscle you strengthen with practice. And when it comes to strengthening that muscle, the trickier the emotional puzzle, the better the workout."

Actually, it is not close at all. . The Carotid arteries run right besides the trachea up into the jaw and are deep and surrounded by connective tissue. It is more close the the jugular (the major vein in the neck) but still pretty far from it.

So This Is Definitely Not A Place Where I Was Trying To Put The Nail
David 2 years ago
That's a myth (so I read). The issue is it being a puncture wound not the rust. I think the rust got associated with 'dirty'. But the Clostridium tetani. bacteria is very common but from some stuff I read it thrives in an anaerobic environment. Or perhaps just does get flushed out when the wound is cleaned. But the take away was that a puncture wound that closes over on itself is much more likely to give you a tetanus infection than an open wound like a cut. The most common puncture wound is stepping on something like a rusty nail which is I think where the rust thing comes into common perception. I also grew up thinking it was rust until I reads some articles on it. TLDR: Be concerned about any puncture wound, not just a rusty nail.

Not joking here, but rub some Vicks VapoRub on it to kill the pain, that's what I do and it works like a miracle on annoying paper cuts.
If we’re able to put ourselves in others’ shoes and feel what other people might be feeling, it shows that we have a high capacity for empathy, whether automatic or developed. This makes us care more for others and their opinions and can be invaluable during negotiations.
It’s interesting how this can extend even beyond the physical realm and into the digital one—we’re able to feel our skin crawling when we see someone interacting with bugs. Not only that, we can also feel others’ pain just from seeing photos of them hurt.
People who are very empathetic are often good at actively listening to what other people are saying. This means that they’re genuinely interested in the other person’s perspective and not just waiting for their turn to speak. Not only that, but they’re also intuitively good at understanding how others might be feeling, just from looking at their body language and hearing their tone of voice.

It could have happened very quickly. You don't release one eyelash at a time, you open the slot and there was a patch that got stuck. Most people also don't use an eyelash curler for the first time on their wedding day. Most of us have been using them since before our mothers let us wear makeup. Assuming she was stupid and did this because she was slow - it just proves you don't know what you're talking about at all.

Naturally, someone who is empathetic will want to help others who may be in pain or discomfort, Verywell Mind explains. However, there are some downsides to being so sensitive.
For example, hearing tragic news stories will affect you far more than some other people in your social circle. Similarly, you may be more sensitive to social injustices or even what you see on the silver screen.
Broadly speaking, there are three main types of empathy. Affective empathy, for instance, focuses on a person’s ability to understand other individuals’ emotions, and how to respond to them.

That's the leg bones, not the ankle. I had a very similar break but rather than both bones it was a crack in one
Somatic empathy, on the other hand, means physically experiencing what others are feeling. You might blush if you see someone who’s embarrassed. Or you might feel like there are bugs on you if you see a photo of someone with bugs all over them.
Cognitive empathy, meanwhile, involves someone’s ability to understand what other people’s mental states might be like in a certain situation and what they might be thinking.
Or, as Verywell Mind puts it in a very meta way, it’s what psychologists call the theory of mind or thinking about what others are thinking.

What Could Go Wrong If I Take A Picture With This Gopher Snake I Found On The Road?
DEW 2 years ago
My two snakes a couple weeks ago I was taking them out to feed them. The one lashed out and grabbed the other in the mouth and wrapped around the other. The one that wrapped around had the other's nose in his mouth and the bottom jaw in it's mouth. I was worried that the one was going to suffocate the nose in the mouth one. He finally released. I've had them since they were babies and in Nov. they will be 11yrs old. Never been bitten once. I wait for it. Hasn't happened. They are very docile. I just respect them. When you take them out they just kind of look at you your fine. But when you take them out and they are really wiggly they just don't want to be held at the moment. Never feed a snake in the cage it lives in. They will strike at anything they feel. I feed them in separate plastic tubs. Then they go back in the cage.

Broadly speaking, people can develop phobias due to traumatic experiences with certain animals, things, or conditions in their past. Say, if an insect hurt, severely frightened, or grossed you out when you were small, you may be more averse to dealing with them at all.
Similarly, if someone in your family or network of friends has a severe phobia, they might accidentally pass it on to you. Nothing traumatic may have happened to you personally, but you simply emulate the behaviors and attitudes of the people closest to you. Especially if they’re authority figures you trust, love, and respect.

The former essentially means becoming desensitized to what you fear by exposing yourself to it. You could look at photos of insects, talk about them, and visit them at a zoo or local park.
Meanwhile, CBT, often used alongside exposure therapy, provides you with fresh new perspectives so that you change how you view an animal, object, or situation. By doing this, you can also change how you react to them.

When i was 17 i had "the" party house in the north eastern portion of the state. Constant influx of hundreds of people coming through after raves, including the DJ's everyone had just gone to see. Lots of fun...and lots of stupid people. 6 months after my last blowout party, i walked out the backdoor and my right foot hit went off the walkway and hit grass...and i was struck with mind numbing pain. I'd stepped on a piece of glass...in my heel, piece of a broken beer bottle. Only about a 1.5cm wide piece is sticking 1cm out of my heel.....so i pull it out, because F*****G OW, right? Well i was surprised to see the big end was what ended up inside my foot. The piece i pulled out was 5cm wide AND deep. So i soaked my heel in 99% isopropyl alcohol for 20 minutes, FILLED the gash with Neosporin and covered it with a big band aid. Looking back i'm amazed i didn't get some massive infection.

I've read that the reason we get stuck like this or with a ring is because your skin goes taught. Then when you want to take it off the skin is just hanging there. So they say to pull back the skin and pull it back off. I would think it would need 2 people though. 1 to hold the skin back and the other to take it off. I know it's to late now but I'm curious if it works.

As the wax hardens, it tightens around the hair/needles and once cooled down, you can just peel it off. Works with little splinters as well. 👍🏻
