      Idk wtf kinda bad ass stuff 8 year old you was made of. I rip my nail off and expose the soft tissue underneath that normally isnt exposed to air and it burns like a bitch for a while. Then when that wears off it burns if I catch it on anything until the nail grows back over it!

      I once lost a nail during a renovation with dirty worn out leather gloves covered in sweat. I had torn a nail earlier and I didn’t think much of it. When I went to take off my gloves, tired, sweating and without thinking, it torn 3/4 of my nail off my index finger. Since my heart was pounding from my work, it immediately started squirting blood and it hurt like hell.

          that’s so weird. My sister’s fell off because she slammed her finger in a door so the pain might have been from bruising? I feel like it would still hurt anyways though lol

            well I was ice skating and someone fell on my nail, and 2 weeks later it just fell off, but it didn’t hurt.
