It's normal to not enjoy pain and not want to experience pain. What isn't normal is to be obsessively afraid of pain or possible pain. I don't know for sure that you're obsessing about this but the issue must be pretty serious if your asking if it's normal. I wonder if you've ever had a traumatic experience that involved a lot of physical pain that is causing all this anxiety; perhaps an illness or injury?
I am scared of losing finger,arm,leg whenever i get hurt and im scared i will also feel the pain but i dont think i have the phobia but it looks like you do maybe you should need some help and hopefully it will get better
Pain is all in your mind. I have no issue with stabbing needles into say blood blisters and ripping them open or cutting them off with scissors.
I have a high pain tolerance though so I dont find it all that bad to chop bits of my body up.
Hell I even enjoy it, i'm a masochist/sadist so i suppose it's all good.. For me! >D
P.s. You've not experienced pain until you've fallen down an up escalator or broken/dislocated a bone at the same time
You don't know true pain until you have recieved a thousand pieces of glass shrapnel from a Molotov cocktail in your face. If anyone wants to go through the experience I would be happy to oblige.
RoseIsabella is spot on. I think everyone dreads pain, some fear less intense pain than others but if it's disrupting your normal life you might have a problem.
Hurtful words or getting a spot with a needle??? Those things don't register on my scale of pain.
I think that is most people, yes. Though some won't admit it, and others have even been conditioned to not be sensitive to it, so it doesn't bother them.
