I certainly don’t know from experience, but I think it can be different depending on the situation. If adrenaline is running hard enough, some people can get wounded without knowing they are wounded – then there is also different pain tolerances where some people scream bloody-murder at a paper cut, while others can break a bone without yelping.
I remember when I cut my hand open from slipping and breaking four glass cups, it didn’t really start hurting until my dad got me in the car. I was young, and the shock of what happened and the blood kept the pain from registering in my brain. I remember calmly calling out, “Dad?” even though I was freaking out inside. But then, there are times when the pain is immediate.
So some factors that I think might effect it
– experience
– physical fitness
– training
– mental fortitude
– expectancy of pain
– shock
– adrenaline
– awareness or how awake someone is
