    Are you good at handling pain? Is it certain types over others? (blunt, vs. piercing etc.)

    I can handle all pain pretty well. From getting beat down by drunk people, to piercing my face, falling off buildings and what not... I can handle it pretty well. I can tolerate... but that doesn't mean that I don't feel it. Because I do.
     
    Kinda I guess? I mean, I think I do well for someone of my size anyway. I'm really little and people joke around that if they hug me I'll break, lol. But I mean, for a bony skinny kid, I think I handle pain well. However, I don't like needles and I think they're the devil. And any internal pain is...bad. I don't handle that well at all. But like, if I'm hit with something or bump into anything, I'm okay.
     
    I'm pretty durable as a human being. My skin is quite tough, my skeletal system is in good shape and my muscles are reasonably developed - so I can take a hard beating on the physical end of the spectrum. I'm usually fine with most physical pain - from physical attacks to the body to sharp needles. It generally doesn't affect me too much nowadays.

    Internal pain I am much more vulnerable against. I had a sharp intense pain in one of my kneecaps a few years ago which especially escalated while training and I had to see a specialist to do some acupuncture on it. It very rarely acts up now. I'm surprised the needle treatment worked to be honest. I'm very thankful to her for fixing it up as it was so painful to train with it. I never did end up telling my Sensei about it - I can be stubborn like that. Further back I had a similar pain in one of my elbow joints but fortunately that one fixed itself up after a few weeks. Nowadays I suffer from heart burn but I've gotten used to ignoring that pain for the most part now.

    Though I tend not to show it, emotional attacks can be very effective against me. Most of the time when Karpman trolls me, he does actually end up hurting my feelings. Poor Drakow I know. Just because the nature of my Darkness is to shut away my emotions, doesn't mean I don't still feel them. Such is human nature after all.
     
    I can (kind of) handle physical pain; after getting hit by something, I try to move the injured part until the pain ceases.
     
    I have a low pain tolerance. And by low, I mean the slightest pinch could make my eyes water. In fact, when I got my nose pierced, my eyes were watering like hell - that's how painful I found it. My friend, who has a much higher pain tolerance than I do, got hers done after I did and was like "...how did you find it that painful?" I just really, really feel pain, I guess.

    But how well can I handle it? Not well at all. I'm a wimp lol. :(
     
    I have a low pain tolerance when it comes to receiving shots in the arm or even a blood test but when it comes to something that I want such as piercings, I got a very high pain tolerance.


    :t354:TG
     
    Physical pain I can stand, though only to some degree. Most of the time I just swear if something hurts and then move on, but fret and fret and fret if I start bleeding. I'm not scared by the sight of blood... I just don't like it, lol. As for emotional pain... I cannot handle emotion pain at all. It cuts through me easily and it leaves me weak for days. Breakups, loss of friendships, death etc leave me very hurt and I struggle to get it sometimes.
     
    I am a total wuss when it comes to pain. I can't handle it, I do not do well. It's lucky I have good teeth because getting me to the dentist is a huge struggle that nobody ever wins lol
     
    I have a pretty decent pain tolerance, I think, along with a decent stomach for blood and such. I've gashed myself up something awful on broken glass a few times, and was able to both tolerate it and tend to it.

    Later on, I went into work and was griped at to lift things faster with my one good hand and my bandaged and unusable hand, which I attempted to. Don't do retail, kids - or at least get doctor's notes out whenever possible instead of being a dutiful Tuesday night worker.
     
    I get kicked and smacked and pushed around for a sport, since I do kickboxing so yeah, if I wasn't able to handle pain I'd be pretty screwed. Emotional pain is an entirely new story but it's hard for me to get emotionally hurt~
     
    Emotionally not very well, but physically I suppose I can edure it. Like there's certain parts of my body which are really sensitive like my ears, so If I were to pierce them it would hurt like hell.

    In a sense. I hate being in pain, but I can put it aside for the most part and still function. It's not as well as I usually do, but I can still continue, and that's all that matters to me. Can't think of the last time I was in so much pain that I couldn't continue what I was doing.

    Then again, all the pain I go through is pretty trivial. Pretty much everything I go through can be taken care of with over-the-counter pain medication.
     
    Considering my stubbornness, I am average at enduring physical pain, but I grinch my teeth and don't let anything out-even if my face turns tomatoe and my eyes turn Niagara.

    But emotional pain, that I am used to handling. No problem here. Stacking mah pain.
     
    It totally depends on the situation and the type of pain. I have to deal with chronic pain all the time, so I can handle it. Acute pain is less tolerable, but I'm able to handle that as well. I can't really think of a time where I've been unable to handle it, but then again I don't consider myself to have ever experienced serious pain.
     
    Honestly, I try and avoid everything to do with pain... so I have no idea if I have a high tolerance or a low one. If pain tolerances are genetic, then I guess I could have a high one, as a fair few members of my family have been involved in things like cycling mishaps and climbing goofs and been strangely OK with it all. If not, well, the slightest twinge would probably set me off!
     
    I probably come off as a baby because when I stub or whack something when someone is around I'll make little winces or whine, but I think that's just a natural reaction to other people being around. Otherwise when alone I'll just think, "oh well this hurts." Pain such as physical getting hit pain or falling pain doesn't really affect me, but internal pains really bother me because you can't just throw an ice pack on something like an upset stomach. I've had stomach problems for years and gone to doctor's before for really bad stomach pains, but I've never been given anything to accurately treat it. So I usually just deal with that kind of pain everyday except every once in a while it will be truly terrible and I'll have to take something, but I generally don't say anything. Plus most people don't believe me anyways!
     
    I can't handle pain at all, I am awful at it. The slightest little bit of pain I can't stand! haha I want to have kids, but man, I know it's going to hurt. ****. XD
