If you have strong negative feelings about a car rollovers, glass elevators or 9/11, that is something you have to manage on your own. You have to accept your feelings or do something to change or tolerate them. But you cannot put that burden onto other people. People should not be afraid of speaking or acting in ways that may hurt other people's feelings.
I uderstand the purpose of safe-spaces. And, to a degree, I feel people are free to build them and use them. I just think they are counter productive. You have nothing to gain by shunning and blocking ideas and concepts. On the limit, for extreme responses and feeling, you should probably seek help to manage them.
- dalke 11y agoPlease reread my last paragraph. My comment has nothing do with putting that burden onto other people. I objected to the conclusion that beaker52 draws.
- Vaskivo 11y agoYes, and I'm sorry for inadvertently implying so. Your post explains why people feel the way they do with certain stimuli. What I wanted to say is that each individual should analize their responses, and accept or change them. If a person is still haunted by a traumatic experiece, maybe they still need therapy to handle it. We can empathize with them but should not change our behaviour. [EDIT] Changed "should empathize" to "can empathize". We can't force a person to empathize with another.
