It means "discover". When you encounter the content, you may become suddenly aware that it is upsetting.
"You may find" means more than "you may feel" or "you may perceive". "Finding" refers to the *discovery* of those feelings or perceptions. "Finding" conveys surprise in a way that "feeling" or "perceiving" alone do not.

Yes, in this sentence, "find" means something like "to perceive", "to experience", or "to feel" in a mental or emotional way. It's often used to describe how someone reacts to or experiences something.
For example:
I find this book very interesting. (= I think this book is interesting.)
She found the test quite difficult. (= She thought the test was difficult.)
So in your sentence:
➡ "You may find the content very upsetting."
means "You may feel that the content is very upsetting" or "You may experience the content as very upsetting."

In this sentence, "find" means "to perceive" or "to consider" rather than "to feel."
So, "You may find the content very upsetting." means "You may consider the content to be very upsetting" or "You may perceive the content as very upsetting."
It’s a common way to express personal reactions or opinions about something.
For example:
- I find this movie interesting. (I consider this movie interesting.)
- She found the test difficult. (She thought the test was difficult.)
Tip:
Use "find" + object + adjective to express your opinion or perception of something.
✅ I find English grammar interesting. (I think English grammar is interesting.)
✅ He found the book boring. (He thought the book was boring.)
This structure is useful for sharing thoughts and feelings in a natural way!
