How brave are you in general/overall?

[Takes Two To Tango]

I'd say I'm about 6 or 7 out of 10.

-1 = French soldier

Ouch.

 

[Tone C]

Ouch.

France the only country with a white flag.

Soldiers have sun tanned armpits from keeping their hands up.

Anyway...it depends on what.

I hate fighting with people despite being good at it and taught it for many years.

But most other things I can deal with.

Just in general how brave are you in life. Do you have very little fears?

I spear fish and swim with sharks very often (check the animal thread for my encounter with a Great White recently). Terrifies the shit out of some people doesnt really affect me?

So I dont know like a 8?

The few times I've thought I've had intruders or prowlers I instantly tooled up and went straight to confront the problem, so I guess my bravery outweighs my tolerance for people messing with my shit.

Finally a good thread.

Whats the metric for fearless ? At 10 is it borderline crazy ?

There’s also bravery against yourself. What if bravery requires you to keep your mouth shut ? What if it’s stupid to fight back and it’ll get you / others killed ?

I would say like an 8. Packed up all my shit and moved to a country where I knew no one and didn't speak the language, worked out just fine.

When I was in jr high I came home to a kicked in front door. I went in, grabbed a butcher knife and went to all the rooms in the house like some idiot. What the hell was I thinking. First I went to my room and checked my baseball cards. None were stolen and I had good ones too

 

[Kimchii]

I'm not entirely sure. But no one could have forced me to do the following.

I'm a zero when it comes to heights.

 

[pugilistico]

Probably more than a lot. I have done and am still willing to do shit that might be insane to some people.
I used to fight professionally.
If my house got broken into, my first instinct is to get armed and fight.
When I dealt with dangerous animals, I stand my ground instead of running but that's more to due to the fact that I know running would make things worse.
Public speaking or going on stage terrifies me but I've done it anyway.
But I don't think I ever had my bravery truly tested, like in a truly life or death situation.

 

[Beechwood]

Thinking about it, I'm not all that brave. I have some health issues that can be quite painful. I've been trained to avoid pain I suppose it can be said. What is odd in a way though, when I'm in a dangerous situation I tend to be calm. I don't want to be there, I'd like to run away, but I tend to do well under pressure.

 

[whocares]

I don't think bravery is a fixed state kind of thing. My balls are pretty big in serious situations but my core is a risk averse pacifist who just wants to be left alone to live my hermit existence the way I want. I don't want no trouble but if I have to step up to deal with a problem or conflict, I'm game for a fight of any nature. I don't know if that makes me brave, I just don't like eating shit from people, or life in general.

If we're talking about running into burning buildings and doing some kind of heroic fantasy type shit, thats not me. My instincts for self preservation are too strong. I think I would put my life on the line to save someone elses but thats so situational its hard to say.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

I’d say about a 6. I used to be much more daring and risky when I was younger, but I was always a very non confrontational person. I guess when it comes to the streets I’m always afraid of getting hurt because of groups or weapons. I have too much to lose.
I also really don’t like roller coasters but I drive semi-recklessly and very fast. Although I’m much less reckless in my driving than when I was younger.

I’d like to think i would stand up and be a hero but you never really know until the situation comes up. I once stopped a guy from getting mobbed, was mutual friends with the guy and the guys trying to mob him. Took a little bit of bravery there because I didn’t want to see his jaw broken or teeth kicked out, but now that I think about it I should have let it happen. That guy wasn’t a very good person lol

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

8-9 depending on the day.

I got guns everywhere. Constantly in shady places. Ride motorcycles, travels alone everywhere. Takes personal financial risks all the time. Would climb on top of tall things without harnesses when doing construction et cetera. Not really afraid afraid of much at all. A plus to being semi-nihilistic. It will all work itself out, one way or another. That doesn’t mean I’m going to act stupid in many cases though. It all depends on your definition of what brave is, and does it overlap with stupid on your personal venn diagram.

I’m brave, not stupid. Well….
