I was discussing it over the phone tonight with a friend, who made a good point - tv shows and movies aren't real - so you can sort of distance yourself from them.
I can't for example watch Hannibal, most serial killer procedurals, or torture porn. Also war documentaries, violent news broadcasts, etc which are real bug me.
But comic book movies, fantasy shows, The Wire, or Justified - not that much of a problem - not real. Depends.
Am admittedly on the fence about a few items myself - such as "isolated loud noises don't bother me" but I do have issues with rock concerts, although depends on the concert and degree of stimulation. Peter Gabriel concert I loved, but a lot of others - such as Pink Floyd, I found difficult to see live.
[I was put on to it by my therapist in August. And yep, quite a few members of my family including both parents, my grandmother, my niece and to a degree my brother. Along with two cousins, and an aunt.]
