Heightened sense-perception related to the fight or flight instinct.

Try eating something when it happens.

My little cousin calls it "the oogies".
I'm inclined to believe that is the proper scientific term.

I've never known that feeling from that stimulus. Thats sounds like one has a pinched nerve, the way op puts it.

auto sensory meridian response

Are they good or bad tingles? If they are good tingles then you need to be evaluated for your mental faculties.

I'm kind of assume it's the same sensation I get when I watch someone face plant. It's a triggered response but you don't feel like actual pain but you get this like oh God that hurt. That's not a good or bad it's just like this feeling.

Sensitivity? I know that if you don't feel anything watching that stuff then you're "desensitized"

[Amuro0079]

Not mirror-touch synesthesia. Mirror-touch synesthesia is feeling whatever in the same or opposite part of your body as another person feels. Like if you see someone is being stabbed and you feel pain in the same or opposite part of your body.

What the OP is describing is simply feeling queasy when you see something unpleasant, frightening to you like blood. it's a natural fight or flight reflexive response of our body inherited from our ancestors, a vestigial response no longer useful to modern humans. It often produces goose bumps, so that's what is called. Medically it's called piloerection, cutis anserina, and horripilation.

No I'm pretty sure it's Mirror touch synesthetes.

The only way to get over it, is to get used to it.

[󠁳⁧⁧ 󠁳⁧⁧৫]

If you want to get over the feeling just stay strong and continue to watch those kind of things. The gorier the better as it will speed up the desensitization process. Good luck.

Jokes aside, you shouldn't be watching gore content as it can and will affect you physiologically. Whether the content are real or not, when you witness cruelty you yourself experience trauma.

[Folabi Pulabi]

The tingly feeling doesnt feel good. To experience it, just look at people getting their entrails ripped out or a dead guy melting onto a sofa or go to r/fiftyfifty or anything gruesome happening to a human or animal. Watch it for an hour and then you will feel what I experienced.
