i can ignore pain(up to a certain point now) when someone does the thing with the skin between the nails and that pushing together, i do not flinch. if someone scratches my arm so that it bleeds, i do not even show that i felt it though perhaps being less annoying so they wouldnt do any of that stuff to me would work too?
Give me girls or Give you death *evil laugh* you're right.. if you put more pain into it, you won't feel a thing... maybe you're a vampire
It's also a matter of the mind. I meditate everyday and believe me I can tell there are results. I've learned to control emotions and to hypnotize myself. Although I still feel pain.
I feel pain very well(unlike some of you freaks) but the thing about is that I like feeling pain. Sometime I will cause pain to myself just to feel good, almost as if I just shot up some heroine.
Just don't do the whole, put giant hooks through your back and hang your self by them. That always makes me faint, because I feel the pain.
I don't really clear my mind. I try to find a nice place to relax. While relaxing I focus one thought. Just that one thought, it can be anything. I then explore it thoroughly with my mind. I feel every emotion, I focus on every little aspect. I keep doing that until it feels part of me. Sometimes I can end up meditating for hours. That's how I came to handle my anger issues. I just meditated upon that which made me angry and refused to stop until my mind fully grasped every thing. You can tell when you have done it, you seem to feel lighter and it's almost as i, for a small moment, your mind is a part of something larger.
