Yeesh. This is why I started self-harming as a very young child. I was trying to train myself to bear as much pain as possible. We were told that we were living in the End Times and that any day now, the evil god-haters would be busting down our doors forcing us to recant our faith under threat of torture. I wanted to get used to burning alive so that I would be strong enough to avoid the fires of hell.
