Ecstasy is fun. but I agree, don't get mad on Ecstasy, you'll go ape-shit.
[QUOTE=ChristopherB;26766457]It would probably make the game Amnesia incredibly dull and frustrating. Without fear, it's just a mediocre platformer with enemies you can't defeat.[/QUOTE]
I don't see how anyone could be scared of a game, the threats aren't real. I played Amnesia, the only intense part was the water area. Other than that, it still was a great game.

Life must be thoroughly boring for you. Movies are so entertaining because they seem real; if I spent my whole time in a theater thinking, "Wow, that guy in the film isn't actually real, what are these silly people doing being entertained by [i]fake[/i] things?" I would not enjoy myself.

wow are you seriously going to get offended because somebody said your favorite game would be boring without fear
jesus christ
and yes I realize you didn't say it's your favorite game but goddamn you come off as an angry fanboy
Oh man this horror film was disappointing, didn't even make me jump.
At least she can play Amnesia without pissing her pants :downs:
Fear was once a feeling that motivated animals to act during events that lasted a relatively short period of time. Now, in the human civilization, you can feel fear your entire life because the world we created is no longer adapted to our nature.
So I dont think that in our society, we need fear that much. Nowadays fear is more used by the society to manipulate us. It's not because she doesn't feels fear that she is poor, but probably because she lives in that environment that they figured out that she had no fear.

Back in the prehistoric age we needed fear to prevent people from going out naked with no fire in the cold while predators are around.
Nowadays we need fear to prevent people from getting into difficult situations or more simply get killed by some guy with a knife and a urge to steal your wallet.

Now that I recall that moment, It wasn't that impressive, I mean... his corpse was probably at 40 feet away from me, and all I could see was a lump of clothes lying in the middle of the tracks, covered in dirt. :saddowns:

Anyhow, I wasn't supposed to feel scared at that moment, I was supposed to be disgusted or something, and that didn't quite happen, so it's a bad example :/
[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;26765923]No you don't, how would you know that you, or other people are in danger? You can't live life without fear, fear plays an important role in decision making, and can lead you to make the proper choice. We have emotions for a reason, a living without just one can have a profound effect on one's mental development and life.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Qontrol;26751100]Common sense is logical analysis, not emotion.[/QUOTE]
No it's not. Logical analysis is logical analysis. Common sense is something that you only learn through experience and thus through emotion.
[quote]Ever had an emotional breakdown? You don't feel [B]shit[/B] through that.[/quote]Ever hit your thumb with a hammer instead of hitting the nail? Just because you aren't in control of the hammer doesn't mean it isn't a good tool for pounding nails in. Instead of disconnecting yourself emotionally(which is impossible in the first place) you should use it to motivate and teach you. Gain mastery of your emotions.
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;26751116]She has a problem with a structure that controls emotions and you say she should rely on her emotions. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
I didn't say that. I'm saying that it's a tool. I never said anything about her specifically. She doesn't have a tool she needs to function and live a full life. That's sad.

That's a completely different feeling than fear, although fear might be mixed in with it. It's more "disturbing". Just because you are un-phased by a dead body through desensitization doesn't mean you will be unafraid when your life is in danger(or your brain says that your life in danger). In fact that fear never does go away, because it serves a vital function to human survival. The most you can do is learn to function while scared.

Not if your mum told you not to touch the stove or it will burn you. You would not touch it because it would burn you. You would not fear the burning you would not like to feel pain because pain feels bad.

You don't learn not to touch a stove because your mom told you it would burn you. You learn not to touch a stove by touching it and realizing firsthand it would burn you. The burn creates a strong emotional reaction and you no longer want to do it.
However, touching a stove is a lot different then learning not to walk around a bad part of town at night. Your brain realizes this is a potentially dangerous thing and makes you afraid to sharpen your senses and get you the fuck out of there. If the part of your brain that controls fear is not active you won't get that feeling and it will cease to be a bad idea.

How?
[QUOTE=yawmwen;26818786]How?[/QUOTE]
its hard to explain, but generally fear is related to the sense of the pain you might suffer either physically or mentally in those situations. i mean she is masochist by nature not by her choice.

There's different kinds of stress that don't have to involve fear. You have to condition yourself for those.

I don't get what you're trying to get at? She enjoys pain because she is unable to get the emotional cues to avoid it?

She still has an emotional aversion to pain, but she won't have fear when presented with the possibility of pain. IE, she will get angry when presented with pain, but not act on fear.
