Saying ouch before getting hit.

[Jagers1994]

So I have a couple dick friends who of which cant help but hit me everytime they see me. I got used to it but I always say ouch everytime. Now I have been hit so many times I say ouch right before they hit me. Thats weird I got so used to being hit that I say ouch before hand. Have you ever done that?

So...why do you hang out with them?

When I was young I used to start laughing before someone tickled me.

Firstly, why in the hell do you call these people friends? Even from this small passage they just sound like bullies (sorry if I completely misjudged your realtionship with them, I'm a bitter cynical individual). Secondly, what you are describing is known as a flinch reflex, an evolutionary trait, natures way of saying "Hey, you've just been bitten by a tiger three times already today, why don't you try running away beforehand?", and yes it has happened to me in other circumstances, it fells weird and entirely involuntary.

im terrible for that, my friends pretend to hit me, and im so ready for it ive already said ow and moved far away

 

[EeveeElectro]

One of my friend always tickles my knee, so before he even touches me, I scream "OH MY GOD!"
XD

Same.
I think that the expectation of pain is worse than the actual pain. If you have time to worry about it, even a few seconds, it hurts more. Or maybe you just know it's going to hurt, but not more.
I dunno. I'm not an EXPERT or anything.

The best part is when I realised if I did it enough, they'd go from wanting to tickle me into pain to making sure I was physically and mentally alright, I was one evil attention-stealing bastard of a kid.

i have friends like that..i need new friends

 

[Jagers1994]

They are not my only friends and I intentionally try to avoid them but I see them in the hallway everyday.

 

[Repulsionary]

My friends and I are somewhat violent with one another. It was funny one time, the three of us were standing in a row, and the friend in the middle raised her arms to stretch, and the remaining friend and I flinched away at the same time.

Anyway, have you talked to these people about it? That may be one of the best ways to get them to stop, depending on what kind of people they are.

To make this gaming related, I always say something like "oh, crap" whenever I see the blue shell of death coming at me in the Mario Kart games.

Interesting Gaming discussion...

To make this gaming related, I always say something like "oh, crap" whenever I see the blue shell of death coming at me in the Mario Kart games.

That's less of a reflex from past experience and more of a basic human instinct. If I saw a huge blue spiky thing hurtling at my car =, even i f I had no idea what it was I would still try to get away.

Hit back, jk

If its just a joke its okay, if their bullying you kick their ass

I'd advice you (Jagers1994) to go with the first line. Even as a joke, it's a bad attitude. So either hit back or tell them to stop. If they don't stop, hit them anyway. And find new friends.

They are not my only friends and I intentionally try to avoid them but I see them in the hallway everyday.

Even more so if you already avoid them. Make it stop, by all means neccessary. And then find some real buddies.

 

[Tarmon'gaidin]

That happens because of a chemical reaction in your brain it makes a special substance that creates emotions. So it's actualy quite logical that when you start to get used to those emotions your brain creates them in advance.

Hopefully this clears things up.

Yeah, my friend has started saying "Ouch" before I hit him too, so I guess its a conditioning thing. Though in my bullying defense, he is pretty spineless and the whole time I bully him I tell him to quit letting me bully him. At my baby sister's graduation, I hit him firmly but not hard in the knee for about two hours straight. It never registered to him as pain, but he couldn't walk for about a day afterwards.
