How do you coup with pain?

[arsenicCatnip]

Emotional pain just makes me cry. If it's really bad, I'll sit and sulk for a little while just to stew, then get up and move on with my life.

Physical pain... um. I'm an abuse survivor, a former self-injurer, and a masochist. Pain doesn't bother me unless it's something deep and lingering (like when I pretty much destroyed my left knee). If I'm bleeding, it's a bit of a bother, but generally I can just breathe through it (I sliced into the pad of my index finger while at work, and it wouldn't stop bleeding. So I slapped a bandage on it, grumbled whenever it hit something, and went on with my day).

Deliberately inflicted pain (no need for details) is a delight to me, and I'm quite all right with that.

Breathe really heavily and throw things.

Oh and swear of course.

usually laugh or just ignore it, you know like going on as if there is no pain, but when doesnt work i try whatever stupid idea the nearest person to me says to dod to get rid of it. emotional wise i shut the world out with music, games, comics, etc. or, i talk to the girl i like (who tends to cause said emotional pain for various reasons at times) and the pain kinda washes away.

I just man up and refuse to acknowledge it.
