Is it better to feel pain than nothing at all?

@HannibalAteMeOut true that

@SwampFlower alright keep ya wig on

@helenS not from what people who literally feel nothing have told me. They know they should feel pain but feel nothing. They don't know what feelings are or how to feel them or if they can feel. Without feeling pain you can't feel joy though either. So they're kind of like robots. Sometimes if they do bond somehow with someone who is emotional they have a loyalty and if the person they've bonded with is happy or sad then they somehow go with that. But if their person is sad and they feel someone caused it they will feel that the person who caused it should suffer. So people with no emotions, because as well they have no fear, can be dangerous. But like I said if bonded to a reasonable person than less so.

Eg I knew this guy who went with how his wife felt, he only cared about his wife and didn't even care about their children. He didn't have his own feelings, he was numb, neutral, without her. Anyway someone upset his wife. So he calmly decided that person should pay. I don't have the best or normal reactions so I laughed. But as he talked I thought he's gonna get himself in trouble. He didn't care of course and his wife knew nothing of what he was upto. The only way I could get him to stop or see it might be a bad idea was to make him realise that if he carried on harassing or taunting this other person that hurt his wife and he was somehow in trouble that his wife would be really upset. When he thought about his wife being upset he decided to stop because it defeated his object. His object was to make the person miserable who hurt his wife but if he made his wife more miserable it defeats the point. - Logic
Some people really do not work on emotions because they feel none. They work completely on logic. They understand emotions because they have heard others talk about them and know some feel good and some feel bad, like how shoes are comfortable or not, but they've never worn the shoes. So they work on logic and if bonded strongly to an emotional person then they use them as a guide of how to feel and if something is ok or not.

I've known quite a few people like this.

@KaiserSolze That's really interesting. That could explain the behavior of some people. 🤔

@TeresaRudolph71 yea

@helenS alright sarky

@agonyaunt "sarky"???
No I was serious.

@helenS awww then apologies

@puck61 😅

@lulaluboo My brother called that his "Battle cry".

@ZonkeyBalls I can even tell you which nerves do the nerves of your nostrils come from

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Can I scratch my back by poking a nostril in the correct angle? Or don't they teach ancient art of nose picking in Bulgaria? Shouldn't be a secret.

@ZonkeyBalls No they don't, although you're right, affecting one point can cause a result in a different part. Like having an itch on your back but no matter how much you scratch it the itch doesn't go away

@helenS Whichever I, at the given time, suffer from. Cancer isn't fun and all of joints are busted, as well as my slipped/bulged discs. Lately, coordination problems due to my neck.

@ZonkeyBalls I am very sorry about your pain, and I hope you will get better soon.

@helenS Cheer up, chin up.

@puck61 here we go

@agonyaunt Pain is natures warning that something bad is happening to your body, but sometimes we get figurative and philosophical about stuff, and I was trying to cover that too.

@SW-User ok
