Being a medical student I deal with dead bodies frequently (anatomy classes). Its never freaked me out and at the start I really enjoyed dealing with body parts etc, most other students initially found dealing with dead bodies disturbing. Is there something wrong with me? I don't really enjoy it anymore but dealing with cut up bodies is now to me no different than walking down to the shops, I could eat food and do it at the same time that's how unphasing it is. I've always worried if there is something 'off' with me for not feeling any disgust/disturbance etc from it

not really. everyones got different tolerances, and a lot of people who seem low tolerance are only faking it because they think there's a morality to it.
It's just the Universe's way of telling you to go into Pathology as a career path.
People are sensitive to different stuff. Bodies don't bother me, but the smell of fermaldahide makes me dizzy to the point where I have to ease my way near it or I'll overheat and nearly pass out.

Well it isn't really the same thing at all, but when I started working at my first criminal defense law firm, I was asked to review brutal murder crime scene photos over lunch. I don't seek out things like that, but it didn't particularly bother me without knowing the details of the victim's life. I still do work like that pretty consistently, I wouldn't seek it out, but it is what it is. I don't think there is anything off about me. So I'm pretty sure you are fine too.

Yeah I think this is a good point, many probably think they have to act shocked about it when they really aren't, be it subconscious or not

I want to deal with the living but in something where I'll treat trauma, so ED or trauma surgery

I remember my first anatomy class I lent in way too close to the body and a got a massive hit of formaldehyde - felt pretty dizzy for a couple of minutes.

I've been on 4chan for ages and have seen quite a lot of gore, I don't really seek it out but I do have somewhat of a morbid curiosity. Glad to hear there are others that are unphased by this stuff
Naw your fine.
Now if you start having sex with the dead bodies...

I think I would cry.
