I think I have an inner courage. I recall having a tooth pulled out at the dentist without any complaint. This was after a brace I had fitted around the back of my lower jaw to straighten a tooth failed. I dont usually cry out in pain or show signs of discomfort generally. I think this is because Id feel ashamed if I did!

How about you?

Brave.. so I am told

If I bit you would you complain?

It depends.
I'm not brave around spiders. Though I have been trying to be.

Only if I could bite back, and harder..

REDFEATHERS said:

Sure, especially my ears. I bet youd win though, Ive got beautiful teeth to look after!

Im sure they are lovely when you get to know them.

Its all mind over matter Carrie

Like I can stick my hand in boiling water and feel no pain, unless of course I think about it.

When I was young I wasnt allowed injections at the dentist so had to have fillings just without..

And if I got physically hurt, I just had to stand up for myself and not cry.. or fight back harder.

I lived the kinda thing.. if you dont know how to swim well we will just throw you in the deep end.. now learn!!!!

I don't want to get to know them. They have too many legs. And they're very clever. Anything with that many legs can't be trusted.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

Handy around the house, too. All those arms.

Did someone say PUSSY?

REDFEATHERS said:

My physical pain tolerance is incredibly high, but I don't know that I count that as 'bravery'.

Well I dont think they want to play you at chess so you´re ok there.

I will mail all my spiders to you then.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

No, but they want to run around in my shower and I'M NOT HAVING IT!

Cloudbuster said:

Im handy around the bedroom what with all those penises.

CarrieMpls said:

..and emotionally????

In some circumstances, like dentistry, I do what has to be done. Plus they put all that numbing medicine in so it doesn't hurt as much.
For situations that could be dangerous: encountering a rattlesnake on a trail run, I'm cautious. I'll wait until the thing slithers off rather than try to go around. Sometimes common sense takes over.

I don't know. I don't have a lot to be brave about, I guess. Some might say getting up and just living life alone every day is brave.
I don't see myself running into any burning buildings to save a random stranger, so in that sense, I don't think I'm brave.
But if I have to face something I usually will.
I've had periods of deep depression in my life where I've not gotten out of bed for days at a time. Some might call that rather cowardly.
I don't know.

making a dentists appointment = pussy

chilling out and giving it up to fate when i'm in the dentist's chair = brave
