This is primarily an autism focused question, although allistics please do chime in if you have something interesting to say!
I’m not referring to stuff like Therians or “not feeling human”, although those are deeply fascinating topics. No I’m strictly referring to finding the task of imagining the human form (in say “daydream stories”) to be unpleasant/uncomfortable.
When I was real young I was REALLY uncomfortable imagining the human form. No problems with animals and weird creatures thought up by toddler me, those didn’t make me uncomfortable!
I brought this up with my IRL friend who’s also autistic. He also experienced something similar!
Anyone else also do this? I kinda want to just… Talk about it. It’s interesting.
this may not be the same, but I am uncomfortable watching still images or video of male faces and ugly faces. the feeling is more extreme in person.
it’s a less intense form of the feeling of looking at creatures (incl. humans) with severe injuries that significantly distort the typical body shape of their species. in other words, disgust and/or uncanny valley.
