For the puking video, I just kinda went "Ew" and told them I didn't get it. They kept cracking up and explaining that it was a
guy puking on roadkill which I understood but didn't see the intrinsic value in. I admit I have refered to my friend that makes the questions as "sick" (not to his face), but in my defense he does talk a lot about killing or torturing people and incest/pedophillia. Sometimes I get creeped out by his lighthearted attitude towards the topics. I mostly get upset when my friends seem not to understand why I don't like it, makes me feel like I'm wrong. Example:
Me: Well, there's that and the 'fucking your dad' style questions.
Friend: those are hilarious!! you know you don't ACTUALLY have to fuck your dad, right?
Me: I know, but it's gross. I mean, am I totally out of bounds by saying that I don't like thinking about having sex with my own father? that's what pisses me off. Any more you're uptight if you're offended by anything.
Friend: you know you don't actually have to think about doing it either, right?
You see? There's just sort of a disconnect. It's like nobody understands how the subject matter itself could be unpleasant to discuss. I guess all I'm looking for is for one of my friends to say "I see how you could feel that way", let me feel okay about not liking that.
