    I’m very good at falling over - even a full body faceplant dramatic one - without doing any harm to myself. Mastered the “safe fall”/“stage fall” as a kindergarten kid.

    I’ve also got what seems to be an exceptionally high tolerance for pain.

    Possibly these two things are connected?

      That’s a skill that stunt people have, too (the falling, not sure about the pain tolerance - although it would be useful for that job)

        I’d stopped crying when I fell over by the time I was two. People used to comment “huh, she never cries - she’s just properly stacked it, and she’s fine? How?”
