When I was a child, I watched some thing about people who thought they were vampires. The show stated it usually started in childhood when they tasted their own blood. I was scared I'd grow up to be a vampire because I had tasted my own blood.

It tastes good tbh

Or really reckless, like that kid I saw looking down the barrel of lit roman candle.

My friend's too

Anyone born completely blind has also never seen their own blood.

Clearly we are excluding 50% of the population because almost all women menstruate and I've never met a boy who wasn't an insane crazy reckless ball of psycho, especially as a child. They always get banged up and injured.

I don't think this is a valid shower thought unless you bring in the morbid thought of a baby dying hours after being born or something. But I don't think they were "careful"... Just unlucky. Everyone will see their own blood at some point. Sure, some may be a little older, but I don't think it's possible to go through life and not see their own blood.

Unless you want to get into the semantics of the statement and bring up those blind from birth I mean, they will never see they're own blood either, but not because they were "careful" either.

I want to talk to someone completely blind. I'm not sure if they'd be severely less or more insightful in terms of perception.
