    High pain tolerance with this is borderline dangerous

    I once went on a tech support visit to someone’s bosses office, finished what I was doing, left, and the guy escorting me told me my hand was bleeding the entire time.

    I am absolutely that oblivious, i didn’t even know what I nicked myself on, didn’t even feel it

      I’ve had cuts I didn’t know about, but the worst was when I worked retail and managed to smash my upper arm on a shelf, and apparently I was bleeding bad enough to leave a broken trail from the front of the store to the break room.

      I couldn’t feel anything but the aching of the blunt force trauma, I didn’t feel the sharp cut or any stinging at all.

      I’ve also had plenty of small spots I have no idea how they happened, but usually I’M the one to figure it out…

      …ooof. I have a high pain tolerance as well… Totally get this. A lot of things breeze off, then I wonder why I’m suddenly bruised, or my toe is broken.
