Something disturbing worries you or upsets you. It sits in the mind in an uncomfortable way: a disturbing piece of news, a disturbing film, a disturbing silence. The feeling is often a mix of “this is wrong,” “this is sad,” and “I wish I had not seen that,” rather than simple fear. It is common in speech and in writing.
