I abhor violence and cruelty

Everyone hates violence and cruelty, but for highly sensitive people, seeing or hearing about it can be extremely unsettling. I can’t watch gory, or violent movies without getting upset or even feeling physically ill. Movies that my mind can accept as “unbelievable” don’t have the same effect, that is to say I could watch Aliens but cannot watch a movie like ” Saw.” Similarly, I find it difficult to stomach a news story about animal cruelty or similar brutal acts.
