This troper will seriously fly off the handle if something even ''touches'' me that I don't expect. But as for getting a Big Fraggin' Needle stuck in my back (pneumonia) and most other things, hardly a show of pain.

This troper for example is known well enough for complaining about very minor injuries that his friends in the past have been surprised at stoic reactions to falling off of the back of a moving truck or spilling fresh (200°F) coffee over his hand.

This Troper acts similarly, saying "ow" as the slightest tap (and once apparently saying it before a blow even landed), but notably remains silent when he for example, stubs his toe real bad, or gets a cramp.

I do exactly the same thing.

Omigod, me too! Like ALL the time.

Same here...

Exactly the same. My friends would have me close my eyes as they pretended to hit me. And I still said 'Ow!'.

Are you all me? Or clones of me?

This troper was in the hospital with appendicitis, and popped her staples...she SLEPT THROUGH the doctor out the staples, ''reaching into her abdomen and pulling out the infection'', packing the cavity with gauze, and taping a bandage over the hole. She woke up with an "ow", however, when the doctor readjusted the tape.

...*look down at bowl of cereal* ... *toss it over shoulder*

Being hit hard enough in one blow to cause non-negligible pain to this troper causes her to fly into a brief berserker rage and respond with several times the original amount of violence. (I'm pretty sure this is left over from the nitroglycerine temper I had as a child.) This sometimes also happens (with less rage) if nobody's at fault for the injury: instead of hitting the person who did it, I'll hit the object responsible. However, I didn't get mad when I dropped a bowling ball on my toe or got my finger stuck in an elevator door, nor did the berserker-rage thing happen the one time since puberty when I got into a fight that ''wasn't'' with my sister.

Papercuts hurt like a '''''perfectly nice woman'''''.

Da_Nuke is ''very'' sensitive to pain and thus has a ''very'' marked tendency to over-react to injuries. The latest: I was playing soccer with my friends at the beach, and I somehow kicked one of the goal posts with my bare foot. It never went beyond a purple finger. My reaction? "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

This troper has extremely sensitive toes - when stub them, cue hobbling around on one foot groaning and sitting down for ten minutes owing while inspecting the injury. However, in any more serious injury, I tend to become either embarrassed and apologetic - "It's nothing, don't worry, I'll be fine, no seriously, just go back to what you were doing before" - or controlled - "You! Get me a bag of ice! I think I broke my arm."

I manage to invert this and play it straight at the same time by not showing signs of pain at what someone would at least say "ow" about and grunting at small pains like stretching. There was also someone in my school who screamed when she was hit by the cotton ball of a santa hat.

Google "sensory defensiveness." A picture of this troper crying like a baby after having a powder puff or something equally innocuous thrown at her should be there.

Oh my god, I didn't know there was a word for that.

This troper goes "ow" over weak taps. He once got a small block of metal cutting his hand almost to the bone. He said "huh", covered the hole and called his brother to come and take him to get it stitched up, in a tone one would use to ask for a ride to the store.

My friends actually now realise that the only times I'm in real pain are when I don't react at all, choosing instead to go almost entirely frozen. tiny things elicit hours of moaning over how much I hurt, ripped tendons result in absolute silence.

This troper has "thin skin", making her very sensitive to changing temperatures and ''extremely'' sensitive to pain. Scraping a finger or hand across a surface that is in any way rough or sharp usually results in a reaction ranging from a surprised "Ow!" and "OWCOMPOSERITHURTS!" Strangely enough, she barely reacts when her cat scores its claws down her arm or stabs her through her jeans.

This troper: breaking a minor bone? Not even a "fuck". Peeling off several square inches of skin from his knee? Doesn't even feel it. Cutting himself accidentally with a shard of glass a centimeter deep on the ankle? He only stops to stop the bleeding with his sock. However, a small cut on the hand, and he drops a gigantic ClusterFBomb. Weird.

This troper forces herself to be stoic when, say, she dislocates her knee or rips off the entire fingernail, but stubbing her toe, pulling her hip out for a moment, or poking herself too hard when she fixes bruised nails elicits screaming.

This troper and all of her friends started hyperventalating and panicking when she got a small, one inch scrape on her shin. To be fair though, it appeared that she had scraped her leg to the bone as there was no skin left on that part of her shin and the wound was not bleeding and bone white. This troper also tends to say "ow" to things that don't even her.

This troper's sister frequently pulls this. This troper once whacked her in the back of the neck with a sock and she told his parents.

ThisTroper is quite odd about this. I'm quite used to taking major hurt and ending up with bad bruises from martial arts. In fact, some people think of me as a bit of a Determinator, yet I often times hit my shoulder going through a doorway, stub my toe, and get paper cuts, and they all hurt beyond all reason.

This troper got a minor burn from a glue gun in college. I was unfazed; it was my tutor who freaked out. He sent me to get first aid.

This troper tends to react quite strongly to minor injuries. He reacts the same way to major injuries, or being tapped on the shoulder. Apparently he just has one response level, regardless of severity.

This troper has a little sister who will scream before you even hit (actually, more like tap) her. She starts screaming like a mad woman if she throws up, and she'll continue to loudly declare how much you hurt her even if it's five minutes later, and it was just an accidental bump.

I have sensitive arms, so whenever people like to playfully punch me there, I can't help but make unhappy noises. I don't have any problem with getting shots, though.

This troper knew a kid who blew everything out of proportion when describing an injury. For example, he told me about falling off his bike and going into {{Squick}}-inducing details on it (Claiming that blood was everywhere, among other things). A little while later, I asked his sister about it, to which she explained that he only got a minor scrape when that happened; it wasn't anywhere close to being as severe as he claimed it was. With how he was describing a minor injury from the past, he probably overreacts over every little cut, scrape, or bruise.

This troper's dad is like this, albeit in more of an OCD way than a hand-waving freak-outery way. It's particularly annoying because he will do stuff that will reduce the appearance of blood or otherwise make it look better temporarily, but actually do more damage in the process. For instance, his response to a nosebleed is to cram so much wadded-up tissue up there that it causes the blood to drain down the throat '''and''' occasionally tickle the nostril enough to trigger a sneeze. He also continues doing this "just to be safe" for several minutes after the blood has already clotted, which will often cause it to restart after a sneeze. At least I trained him to quit forcibly doing it to ''me'' every time he sees me with a nosebleed.

This Troper's mother is known to overreact about cold weather. Not just mildly; I'm talking gloves and a coat on the beach in summer. Hilariously, this Troper isn't bothered by cold weather at all, but warm weather makes her cranky. In childhood, when neither of us realized this and she tried to get me to wear a thick black coat in mid-spring... Irritability Ensued.

In an Electronics Lab class, one of this troper's classmates (known for being rather ditzy) got a (rather small, as we were using 12V) shock from a capacitor. Her scream was heard in the entire lab building.

This troper is...strange when it comes to injuries. She doesn't find tattoos or piercings, but freaks out at papercuts.

I once ran a steak knife through my hand trying to peel apart frozen meat. While I think my reaction to that wasn't an overreaction (jumped around a little, said a few swear words, then told my mom to take me to a doctor), the glue that they used to paste my skin back together (which they said wouldn't hurt) hurt like a motherfu-.

It's a RunningGag in my school to, whenever a minor injury occurs, to go "AHH MY SPLEEN" and clutch your elbow. This is because of an incident where a kid (AttentionWhore) who was touring the school got lightly hit by a ball and pretended it hurt. Problem? He had no idea about where your spleen is, or, apparently, an elbow.

Ok, giving blood... The relatively large needle used for venipucture (and hence, actually taking the blood) is always less painful than the tiny little prick on your fingertip to check haemoglobin levels. The times when it isn't... they've just fucked up and driven a metal spike into your bicep...

My little brothers, when they argue and one hits the other, the one whos hit will always cry and run to our parents screaming like theyve broken an arm or been shot or something, nomatter how small the injury is.

This troper frequently twitches and shakes whenever he is poked in the neck or back, but when he fell from a tire swing and hit the ground hard enough to knock the wind out of him, he just laid there and said "I'll be fine."

Today I heard a crash and a scream, and my little brother (aged six) had fallen off his chair. He came crawling over like he had broken his legs or something...when he came over to me I helped him to his feet and asked him what he had hurt. His answer: his little finger, which looked perfectly fine

This is me. Sometimes, injuries in gym class(like being hit hard with the ball) make me not only scream, but unable to play for the next few minutes, at least. I just can't continue playing if it still hurts, dammit!

Everytime this Troper falls down while playing and scratches all her leg, her classmates are the ones who are PANICKING... they tend to hurry me to go and wash it; I alwys prefer staying in the game, until the teacher tells me to go.
