Q&A

What would the psychological effects be on a child who grew up knowing they could never really get hurt?

(This question goes more in depth from a previous question.)

Imagine This:

  1. The "Black Box" is a mind vault for a few humans who created it, the humans wanting to survive a nuclear war happening on Earth.
  2. A child who grew up with her mind in the vault has known pain, this is because her parents wanted her to know the feeling when their minds are later transported to mindless bodies. She's felt small things because her parents didn't want to hurt her.

What would the effects be on the child if it's never truly known the consequences of getting hurt? (The child has always healed almost immediately after feeling pain because her parents feel terrible after inflicting the pain.)
When she gets transported to her mindless body, how will she react when she gets injured? Because she's been in the Black Box setting her whole life, how will she adjust to a world recovered from a nuclear attack?
