Yes, often we can also have a perception and belief that the physical injury can quickly heal (because every one of us has had an accident and experienced healing) while we might have already been emotionally hurt and we conclude “I couldn’t handle that again.”
Thanks for your insights and wisdom.

Hurt to my body vs. hurt to my ego (my false self).

This may equate to being vulnerable. Some can be psychically vulnerable. Like the guys in “Jackass”, the only risk is breaking something, maybe dying. But a worse hurt is reject, the loss of love, which diminish our ego, our false self, which is a slow & lifelong death.

That’s why walking across hot coals doesn’t translate into really selling our services, for example. Rejection is a greater fear than physical death. Letting go the fear of body injury is completely different than being cast out of society.
