Haha. This isn't Dragonball Z. You don't gain EXP after losing a fight in RPGs either.


I know but when the body heals from stressors, it rebuilds itself stronger than before. This is how weightlifting works: when you lift a heavy weight you are damaging your muscles. When they heal up, they becom stronger.

This is why some people cut themselves. So they're skin can heal stronger and tuffer.


You really think that's why people cut themselves?

There are a whole lot of reasons why people self-harm (everything from schizophrenia to sexual gratification) but to make their skin tougher is one I haven't heard of.



I'm aware that most people cut themselves out of mental disorders, but I've met some persons that inflict extreme pain upon themselves to stengthen their bodies. Cutting themselves is one of their many techniques and from what I've seen, their skin does seem tuffer than average.
