Red flag

I don’t like true crime. If I want to see/hear something scary, I’ll watch ghost sightings or maybe a horror movie like Scream (though honestly when I watch that kind of thing I just start thinking tactically about loadouts and strategies)

True crime is not fantasy. It teaches you about the depravity of the human mind and how insanity can trigger crime. It also helps you see your life in a much better light.

A much better light?!

Yes.

People often think their lives or relationships are so bad because they don't have a frame of reference.

When you read or watch stories on true crime, you realize your life isn't so bad, and that some of the issues you face can easily be resolved because most people are not insane and are quite reasonable.

That’s not saying much lmao

It's like listening to sad songs when you're depressed, except a higher version of that.

I’ve done the music thing but not the true crime thing. I think I’ve tried true crime once, it only destroyed my faith in humanity.

if you listen to true crime you're weird

Not really.

Booooooo I just like hearing detailed horror

Have you ever heard of the MacDonald triad…?

Yes, and it is pretty accurate, but not necessarily predictive. There are a lot of protective factors that aren’t understood yet

Who/what?

Skyrim reference

I love hearing about Jeffery dahmer, id love to be torn apart by him 😫

Im already in jail dawg

Doesn’t make it any less cursed

True

You arrested me

Oh yea

Not really.

It’s definitely true IFF you don’t experience shock and physiological reactions to stressors and depictions of extreme violence. Does that mean you’re going to kill someone? No. It could mean that you have a thrill-seeking personality in other ways, through adventure sports, drugs or other high-stimulus activities. Being unstressed about this sort of stuff is symptomatic of lower pre-frontal cortex activity and higher attraction to thrill seeking behaviours.

Hummm fair point. I'd have been interested in being forensic or a detective, but I can only take some light levels of true crime. Some stories give me nausea.
