Thanatosensitivity

Thanatosensitivity is when you are extra sensitive or reactive to certain things related to death or dying. It can mean that when someone talks about death or dying, you get very emotional. It can also mean that you become anxious or sad when you see statues of people who died a long time ago, or are very afraid of things like ghosts and scary movies. Being thanatosensitive can also mean feeling anxious or scared when you think about your own death, or the death of someone you love.
