WTW for idea or a concept that inherently makes you uncomfortable whenever you see it?
More often then not recently I've been seeing videos or tv shows or things that have one specific plot point in them that the moment I see it, I immediatly start getting shivers down my spine cause of how much in general I do not want to hear or see this topic.
"Uncomfortable" is the word I've been using with people to try and describe it, but it doesn't really feel like it's the right word since being "uncomfortable" usually pertains to just not liking the situation.
I'm trying to think of a universal example to explain what I'm talking about without having to give a deep-dive into my head (it is a terryfying place), so I think the closest one that works is "the word to describe the feeling of seeing something in the uncanny valley". Like; it's not a mere dislike, and it's also not a full blown phobia, and yet you still get that crawling feeling in your body that says "I do not like this, and I don't want to be seeing it".
