Others have mentioned the local anesthesia to be more painful than expected (which is news to be honest, I just thought I was a bigger wuss than I realized), but also I actually haven’t been seriously hurt in my life - I have fell off a bicycle and had a scratch that took a month to heal and a hairline fracture but none of those were too painful. I think there’s some benefit to being a sedentary nerd lol. But also, a knife cut isn’t painful? It bleeds and stings but not exactly pain right? Unless you got to the muscle which I never have.

Having said all of that, I have definitely been told that I have really good self preservation instincts. One will never know what combination of all of this makes me.
