Putting aside permanent mutilations and death (I am not looking for gore here), what would torture YOU the most?
I have read several diaries about what does and does not constitute torture, and recently, teacherken's diary and the responses presenting various sides to the "they thought it was but it really wasn't" justification for certain interrogation techniques. And seriously, I can't believe that we talk about this so frequently these days...

I have been trying to imagine lately what I could not tolerate (along with re-reading 1984), what would "break" me and/or make me long for death...so I wanted to ask: what would torture you?
I'll let you know exactly why I'm asking once I figure it out a bit more clearly myself.
If anyone thinks this is beyond the pale and I should delete this diary, just say so, as I get ready to hit submit, it occurs to me that maybe it could be construed as giving out ideas. In any case, if it doesn't meet community standards, it's gone, just let me know.
