Oh, that’s bad. You really want your body to tell when you’re injuring yourself. People with no ability to feel pain often have their teeth pulled so they don’t unknowingly chew their own tongues off. You put your hand on a lit stovetop burner, you can’t feel it, and your hand cooks while you wonder what smells so good. You suddenly discover you can’t walk because your legs broke several months ago and you’ve been using them long past when others would have gone to the ER. You suffocate and don’t understand why your vision is fading, and you don’t realize that you’re dying.
While pain can easily be agonizing, not being able to feel pain means you have no way to know that you’re in critical danger.
Okay, but have you considered that I have no health insurance and live in a shithole country that will happily let me suffer and die for being broke? I'd rather feel fine until I keel over than agonize while having to push through. What use is pain I can't do anything to address?
Okay but what if I’m in critical danger all the time
Then you may have congenital insensitivity to pain, and should probably get to a hospital, even if you don’t feel like it
