Tall man: Don't be scared, little boy. I'm not going to hurt you.
The boy nods, but finds it hard to distract (himself) from the blood on his shirt. (1) / The boy nods, but is having a hard time distracting (himself) from the blood on his shirt. (2)
The tall man looks down at himself and becomes aware of it.
Are both of my suggestions/sentences correct and natural? Should "himself" be added or left out?
