Today, I was doing a task to boost my online earnings, which was about rating some images with possibly adult content, as appropriate or not. I rated a lot of pictures in order to finish the task and get paid, but some of them were really traumatising and they have stayed in my memory until now.
I had no way to avoid them since I was almost dome with the task, and I also had to rate them so I couldn't scroll down so fast. They were some pics from accidents or sick people and I really wish I hadn't seen them.
How do you feel when you see content like this, does it stay carned in your memory for a long time?

Yup, i'm just like you. I'm a traumatic person. so i avoid myself not to see disturbing pictures such as accident victim or murderer victims ir something related with disturbing pictures. i can memorize them deep.in.my memory and hard to remove them from my brain. i even never watch horror movies! you know what, i'm not even brave to the bathroom alone everytime i finish watching horror movies. i usually ask my husband to accompany me to the bathroom. lol. that's why i avoid myself from those pictures cos it gives bad impact to myself.

I know, sometimes in horror movies we might see horrible things that will stay in our brain for ever! I remember watching the "Saw" movie, I had my hands in front of my eyes for the most parts and I couldn't believe that I went to watch this film! But this is just a movie and I know that it's not real, when the pictures are real it's much worst.

Yeah, sometimes we see and experience this pictures in our life.. The best solution for this, so they won't stay forever in your memories is to replace them with good memories, see beautiful sites and inspiring pictures. I think that is the best way to avoid having the trauma pictures keep flashing on your head.

Yes, I guess I am starting to forget about them by now.. However, I am sure that they will come in my mind some time in the future, I am very sensitive with violence and accidents and it has happened again in the past. Thanks for the positive thinking! Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi besweet,Sometimes stuff like that might stick in my mind for that day and then after that it might pop into my mind once and a while,especially if there is an incident that is similar to it.Eventually it just goes away.
What site was this task on?
I thought there wasn't supposed to be anything like that on most pay sites.

besweet, sorry to hear it that you put to such a horrible task.
And yes, in fb there are always fotos that are being passed on which are so appalling and disturbing that you almost want to cut off the friends who are posting it in there walls. But thankfully because of this new options one can simply avoid these disturbing content and again so sorry that you have to see these picture i am sure the pay was not worth it.

I think I had this task in the past as well, and yes, i didn't continue with it for I cannot stomach the images shown in there. well the images lasted for about half the day but not after that.

You are probably stronger and you were able to forget them quickly! I am very sensitive with violence and accidents, so it's hard for me to watch those images. I finished the task because I was almost finished by the time those images appeared. I thought it would give me some easy points, but at the end, I regret doing that task..

It happens sometimes that we see cruel images...
It is hard to forget but time helps.

Some images will stick with me for a very long time. There are traumatic scenes I can recall from childhood and they are still quite vivid to me. Look on the bright side at least you still care. You aren't jaded to the point where nothing bothers you anymore.

These moments can stay in our minds for ever. Generally, I am very calm and I can face everything but when it comes to violence, or pictures that have scenes of hurt people I can't stand watching them. I know it is part of the reality that we live in, but I get horrified by scenes like this one! Thanks for the understanding!
