I would like to do an experiment with pain. How can I give myself a controllable level of pain over an extended period of time without causing myself any damage?
But your brain-cells will die and never come back. Lion Hearted, get yourself a tens unit and give yourself mild electrical shocks.
Get married. Don't think there will be any extended physical damage, although no guarantees on the mental.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Maybe she is trying something that the martial artists etc do...i forget what it's called, but it's when they feel pain but don't notice it too much. Pain conditioning i guess you'd call it? Maybe she is testing her max threshold for pain,
Giving Yourself Pain I don't know why you want to give yourself pain. Are you trying to test your pain threshold? If you are, you will find that the brain is very adaptive and that the pain level you can withstand today can increase with conditioning. However, this can be dangerous, because as the level increases you become unaware of damage you could be doing. Further, some become addicted to the sensation of pain...getting into a loop of ever increasing levels. Please be careful and evaluate the purpose of why you want to do this test. Think twice before you begin something that could really impact you the rest of your life.
Download a print out of the Scofield Scale and buy you some peppers, ranging from a Bell Pepper to a Havanero or a Scotch Bonnet. Record your pain levels as you eat your way up the scale. But definitely keep a gallon of ice cream close at hand.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
empty your savings account. Sell everyting you have. Take out loans with several banks and friends, especially best friends. Put all the money in the middle of a busy street and watch it disappear. painful and possibly liberating
Pain can be very enlightening. Seomthing about inflicting upon yourself that which the mindless masses fear and live their lives avoiding. Also, in times of extreme pain, everything which is unimportant is forgotten. Also when someone tastes death, everything that does not matter has completely left their mind. Moments of pain can lead to self-revelations. You can come to grasp with your emotions, the way you act, the way you think, etc, because you forget in these moments that which isn't true. You see some mainstream big star rapper walking around these days. I'll use nelly for my example. He raps about his clothes, his cars, his sex. Cut off his arm and see how much shit he continues talking. If he doesn't change the way he acts with his brand new stump still shooting out blood, he is real. Otherwise you will see his true side. Now imagine, you can do this to yourself any time you want. I prefer a knife. Or jump off of high places.
Permanent damage is the part that I like. All of my previous friends stare at my cut arms. They are fucked up people. I say punch everything that you see. I like stop signs and concrete walls. Especially when my knuckles get bloody. Also, paintball guns to the thighs at close range hurt like shit, but they wont leave scars. I've done this accidently once.

Ah... slacker, why eexactly do you choose to inflict damage on yourself? EDIT: For anyone whos interested... Are you hurting? Do you need to harm yourself to feel "alive" or "better"? Please read this. You are not alone. Or, call 1-800-DONT-CUT for immediate help.
Because it's fun, and it shows he has balls. Unlike you, some people don't turn into snivelling pussies at the slightest sting.
Exactly. People dont realize that its just skin and nerve cells. Big deal. Pain is temporary and it is part of evolution, so use it to your advantage. Condition yourself so that you can deal with pain. Eat tons of food one day, and then dont eat for three days. That is fun. You only live once, so try to do everything without the fear of pain. When there isnt pain, there isnt life. (dont get all biological)
Oh I feel alive. Better... I do cut myself as a punishment for society. Stupid westerners are what make me do it most of the time.
Xev: Fun. I find that not to be the most enjoyable thing. I prefer to go to a party with a friend or something if i wanted to fun. Balls. Perhaps, but a person can easily have balls whether or not they have fun slicing themselves up and punching concrete. Slightest sting. Ive basically been the human punching bag all my life, so dont assume right away that im some pussy that cant stick up for himself. I've wiped the floor with a few people, who just happened to be looking for someone to pummel. They also happened to be a half a foot taller, but they picked a fight with the wrong guy. When i need to, ill kick the crap out of someone, even tho i use fighting as a last resort. Slacker23: "That is fun" I dont take pleasure in injuring/depriving myuself of food. Pushing my physical limits, yes, but not causing myself harm. "Condition yourslef so you can deal with pain." Probably the only statement i agree with somewhat. Ive taken martial arts and conditioned myself, ive developed "balls of steel" as a result. Without pian, there is no life? Sure. Hundreds, if not thousands of famous people throughout history saying something rather different cant be wrong. As i punishment to society? How exactly are you punishing them? I dont really see them hit with a negative effect. Stupid westerners make you do it, eh? Do they force you to cut yourself? How is it their fault? Come on, you starting to sound like GreenworldPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I tell everyone that asks that it is thier fault, and change. So, the effect is positive. Who cares if people are famous or not? Dont put any value into someones social status as a basis for agreement. Do you remember the guy that stepped in front of the tank in China? He is famous and went through tons of pain. If you have developed these "balls of steel" then why are you against pain. Especially i you are into martial arts. You should know that pain cannot hold you back from anything.
How does this create a positive effect? How is it their fault? I would simply rather feel a more positive thing, like say a kiss from a girl, than a kick in the nuts. I definitly like the first more. And yup, pain cant hold you back from anything with enough willpower. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
