Socially Acceptable Risky Behaviors

[idiot_dad]

I train at a boxing gym. I enjoy it when I do well, but I also enjoy getting the shit kicked out of me every now and again, it pushes me to that place where I want to die. I also like the harm it inflicts, it feels like I deserve it.

People don't bat an eye when I tell them I like to box, it's just a thing people do. If I told them I like to run too close to oncoming traffic, I would get sent to the hospital lickety split.

Anyone else out there who engages in socially acceptable risky behavior.

Nah. I don't even engage in the most vanilla of socially acceptable risky behaviour. All of mine is strictly antisocial and private.

I poke bears in the woods

I taunt psychos to make them do psycho things and thereby let them dig their own graves

No, I just try to sleep as much as possible. I feel too tired and I have no interest in doing anything.

I actually have done this before - but I would argue this isn't socially acceptable. I've almost gone to jail for "ending" a provocation with a psycho.

I've been concussed a couple of times, and I've broken a rib once. One time I pinched a nerve in my face and lost all feeling in one of my cheeks for about six months. That one was the weirdest. Also I dig the Usyk gif, that dude is awesome.

You're lucky one side of your face didn't droop

Completely. That one did freak me out haha. I had to do this thing where I would stick a toothpick in the center of the "numb spot" then probe outwards until I could feel it. It wasn't until about three weeks later that the circle started to get smaller and I knew I was healing. The funny thing was I didn't even get hit that hard - I just got hit in exactly the right spot to pinch a nerve.

It's socially acceptable in the right context.
