Revulsion

Revulsion is a strong feeling of intense disgust or repulsion. It usually happens as a sudden, visceral reaction to something offensive, unpleasant, or morally repugnant. Think of it like an emotional or even physical recoil—like your stomach turning at a gruesome sight, or an instinctive pushback against something you find deeply wrong or disturbing.
It can be triggered by:
- Sensory input: e.g., a rotten smell, graphic imagery, or blood.
- Moral or ethical issues: e.g., hearing about a cruel act or injustice.
- Personal boundaries: e.g., encountering behavior that violates your sense of decency or safety.
Synonyms include disgust, loathing, repulsion, and abhorrence—though each has its own shade of meaning.
