Fainting

Nope. Though I have fallen asleep while only intending to lie down for a while, don't think that counts 🤣

Numerous times. 😉 It comes from me being too "in character" when reading/watching something. Let's count the times, shall we?
-
In 2nd grade during after school snack time I eaves dropped on a girl's "horror story" about kindergartners getting possessed by ghosts through their belly buttons. I felt like I was about to take a nap and tried to rest my head down, but before I knew it I awoke on the concrete floor sprawled out with a herd of people crowding over me.
-
In 4th grade I was reading The Giver by Lois Lowry at my desk in the corner of the room. There's a part where a baby is given an injection that kills it immediately, and according to my classmates laughingly I started making circular motions with my head until I fell backwards, knocked down the California Gold Rush book bin with my skull, and awoken at an odd angle on the floor.
-
In 4th grade (again!) our teacher read us a book about mummies. Excitedly kids kept repeating the part about the brain being removed from the nose. Passed out and my head landed on a girl's lap, much to her panic.
-
In 6th grade reading class our substitute teacher read aloud to us The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe. He was an extremely good voice actor. The short story was about a man who kills a man because of his eyeballs, then the events of hiding the body under the floor boards and the police's arrival to the scene. I went blind for about a minute while he was reading, then fell onto the floor. The teacher pressed the red button on the wall and got the school nurse with a wheelchair to pick me up.
-
In the same year, I was watching Naruto (uncensored, subbed). It was episode 6, where he stabbed his hand to look all cool. I went all woozy, so I tried to go downstairs to get something to eat and stay up. I fainted in right in front of the kitchen entry way. I woke up after sleeping a while in a very odd position on top of a bag of dog food, then tried calling out for help. I was home alone...
-
...I take a few steps, then fainted again. I woke up with my face in the dog's water dish. I fell with my face on the side, so fortunately I didn't die like a drunk. Finally got up and got something to eat.
-
One year from that, in 7th grade, I was in math class. During notes, I was reading a historical fiction book since I already knew what we were learning. In the book the girl had a cold, so the priest slit her wrists and drained her blood periodically to "remove impurities". I looked at my teacher at her desk, as I was in the front row on the end, and said to her "I think I'm gonna faint." and I immediately passed out while her watching. xD She pressed the button in a rush (apparently) and the nurse came and got me again.
There you go, the complete collection of me fainting. I'm just about to enter 10th grade now, and haven't fainted at all in the past few years. 🙂 I've adapted more to bloodshed/dying in books and media, so I barely get effected now. Though I came quite near when I had to watch a human dissection video this year, but I had the teacher excuse me from the assignment and I wrote an essay instead. 😃 Such a long post. xD

Nope never fainted, saw a few people faint. I just dont. Dont get grossed out by things or scared. Didnt even lose consciousness after loosing a shit load of blood (and I mean it was pooling at my feet and I felt fine.
Still, I guess it depends on the person. To each his own...

The fainting itself can be painful, but you get the most comfortable sleep of your life if no one tries to wake you up.

Most recently I fainted on my way out of the bathroom going back to my room. I got really dizzy, fell over, and knocked over a shoji screen room divider on my way down. When I came to, I still felt too weak to stand up. My head hurt from hitting the screen and my arm hurt because I landed on it first. After several minutes of lying in the hall wondering if I would die like that, I crawled over to my room and reached out for a bottle of wheat grass flavored water (yuck) that happened to be on the floor in a lame attempt to revive myself. I fell asleep on the floor and at some point later on made it back onto my bed.
There was also one time I took about ten blood tests at the same time on an empty stomach. My dad was with me and as I was losing consciousness he kept telling me to look away from my arm. For some reason he thought I was fainting at the sight of my own blood.

😮 Tsu! I mentioned fainting today~ (or last night now...) Yeah, I sorta have. Like Today. I started feeling dizzy, then I couldn't focus my eyes, then I started to lose balance. Even weirder, I felt my hearing started to fade away. I sat down on the floor of Walmart... I didn't care about embarrassment... I was really afraid of falling 🤢 After a couple of minutes and a drink of green tea, it left. Not fainting exactly, but for a second I 'left' T.T

No I've never fainted before, but I remember my friend back in primary school did because he accidentally cut himself and fainted when he saw the blood. I remember it clearly, he was holding his finger, then passed out and just fell like a tree being cut down.

I had an accident and one of my nails got partially ripped off, so I went to the clinic down the street to have the rest of it removed. I made the mistake of watching the doctor while she did it and apparently got really pale afterward when I tried to get up off the table. I thought I was fine, but she ordered me to sit down and literally ran out and got me some orange juice, then made me drink it. So apparently I almost passed out then.
Nope, never fainted.
Even when I got hit by a falling wooden pole on the head. O_O

I've never fainted, but once I was very close - I was strolling in a park when I started feeling dizzy. Fortunately, there was a bench nearby, so I could sit down and wait until I felt better. Three elderly ladies passing by saw me and started telling me to lie down and raise my legs, to breathe deeply etc., that was embarrassing 🙂

i have never fainted but a friend of mine fainted when we visited a museum back in 4th-5th grade
we walked around looking at some mummies when he just dropped
very funny shit
he heard about that for years lol...kids are mean
last year when I was shopping for dinner, just when I'm about to enter the Supermarket, my head feel so heavy, I feel like I want to throw up, and my vision went blurry and I black out. I just look a nearby bench to sit and take a depth breadth, for about 10min it went normal again, no clue what was actually happen.
maybe because I have low blood pressure? not sure
