When I watch this video where people are recorded being tased with a stun gun, I get very nauseated. I have a strong reaction every time I see it and I cannot explain it. I suspect it is because the amount of emotional expression in this video is intense. There are many intense reactions and there are many, many powerful and subtle expressions too.

I believe that we all register emotional reactions at different speeds. Some of us will feel an emotion in very subtle forms. Other people require full expressions to register reactions. I think the sooner one registers an emotion the easier time they have at understanding people.

I also found it very interesting how some people were excited by the idea of being tased, and/or had a strong constitution to fight the pain and over-power it mentally. Some seemed to even enjoy the anticipation, and experience (which is hard for me to understand). Do they have a high pain threshold? Are they good at mind over matter? Do they enjoy pain?  I’d love to ask them!

I have no doubt each of us have different pain thresholds so how we react will vary due to that as well.

I have taken some screenshots where I think the emotional expression is very interesting and revealing, and I’ve labeled them with how they come across to me.

What do you see?

Worrisome dread

Positive Anticipation

Intense Dread — Can you feel his heartbeat?

Positive  emotion  — subtle surprise

Subtle Fear — gritting of the teeth

Subtle Disgust

Slight wincing with true positive joy
