We have seen all kinds of images here on the internet. From blessed to cursed, there seems to exist a genre for each picture that’s hard to pin down.
Today, we present you with a new category to define hardly definable pictures named “blursed.” As you may suspect, the term comes from blessed and cursed combined together, meaning blursed pics exhibit features of them both.
This corner of Reddit titled “Blursed Images,” which describes itself as “home of the most blursed images on the internet,” has popularized blursed pics. So the idea, according to the community rules, is simple: “if an image makes you happy, but then at the same time, frustrates or disgusts you, then it is likely blursed.”
Below we wrapped up the most interesting examples of blursed snaps for you to scroll through!

According to Know Your Meme, blursed images are photographs that are simultaneously blessed and cursed. They are captivating and may require a double glance in order to fully grasp what is going on there.
Interestingly, blursed images reflect the bigger tendency of the human mind to be compelled by challenging material. This material can range from merely uncomfortable and confusing to dark and upsetting. Psychoanalysts have been observing our inner fascination with dark material, from serial killers to violence to disasters, for years.
In Bored Panda’s previous in-depth interview with Helen Marlo, a licensed clinical psychologist and Jungian psychoanalyst who provides psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and consultation, we dug deeper into this compelling topic.

Sadly the pic is photoshopped. The recording is real, but it mentions Minecraft and the picture says 1988

Here's a tip, atheists: shut up! Here's a tip, Believers: shut up! Stop pushing your views on others. Stop belittling others' views. Stop to think for a minute how much better the world would be if you all could manage to just shut up.

Religious people abuse minorities, women in the name of their religions. I won't shut up until it changes.

"Side 4"? How many sides does that tape have? Mine only ever had A and B :D
Vix Spiderthrust 1 year ago
Tape 2, side 2 = side 4. Much handier than having sides 1 and 2 on every tape and being unable to tell at a glance which tape is next

A 14 year old isn't old or mature enough to make personal decisions let alone read or commentate on other's.
“Most of us are painfully aware that darkness, what some call evil, exists. We may satisfy some human, psychological needs when we engage with it through the news, movies, or documentaries,” Helen told us.
She explained that when watching another story, and in particular, these dark and traumatic stories, we witness another person’s narrative. “Narrating one’s own story, especially if we have a story that includes trauma, is emotional and hard. Watching another’s story can give us a sense of gaining understanding or relief for 'free,' because we are hearing about another’s story but not doing any of the hard, psychological work to create our own story.” The same goes for reading self-help books and images.

Sinbad: "My dad just showed me the whole kingdom. And I'm gonna rule it all!"
Moreover, Helen explained that “by watching another’s story, we may gain a sense of control, understanding, or vicarious mastery over our own aggressive fantasies and anxieties about evil, whether we imagine ourselves in the role of the perpetrator and/or victim.”
For example, watching the Jeffrey Dahmer story gives us at least one version of a real-life story of a serial killer. “We may feel as if we have a better understanding of senseless violence and the irrationalities of evil by becoming immersed in learning about one person’s story. His story is a mixture of elements—some common and some uncommon—which enables us to compare and contrast this story with our own life story and our own fears, wishes, and/or fantasies.”

Please, please, please for your life wear a seatbelt. In the last week alone we’ve had two very young (19-20 yrs) guys come into our ER who were ejected with severe head trauma. One is probably brain dead and the other was at least able to be an organ donor.
It doesn't mean, however, that blursed images offer exactly this type of experience. While being uncomfortable and sometimes upsetting, they also offer the opposite effect - which is interesting, cute, and relatable. These two opposite poles combined together provide the viewer with a unique viewing experience that challenges our perception of things being only good or bad, black or white.

People with more anxiety have it filled more and so even reclining is hazardous. We should write a research paper
