What do u call a person who needs to look at comforting visuals to emotionally reset or soothe themselves after something awkward or intense

1 answer

A person who seeks out comforting visuals to emotionally reset or soothe themselves after an awkward or intense experience might be described as having a "visual coping mechanism." While there isn't a specific term that universally describes this behavior, you could refer to them as someone who engages in "visual self-soothing" or "visual therapy." If this behavior is more of a general tendency, you might also call them an "emotionally sensitive" person or someone who utilizes “aesthetic escapism.”
