I once, out of curiosity, mounted an expedition to the darkest regions of the internet, aka The Dark Web.
There's some shit there that can scar you for life. Don't ever go there, seriously.
I highly doubt it, my mind was s very strong and I have seen many thing in my life, gruesome death, abuse you name it. Nothing disturbs me. In comparison, the average person is too sensitive
Thinking of it a bit differently, have you considered you might not be sensitive enough? There's some real benefits to living with a healthy dose of sensitivity; for one, it is part of a healthy response to situations that could be physically harmful to you. Best of luck out there :)
I'm actively avoiding growing insensitive to stuff like this
My sense of normalcy kinda depends on not being apathetic to abuse
