Phone would be irrelevant to me. It is a thing. Yes it would be annoying since I tend to take care of my things (and pay my bills not to loose phone service credit) and I don't want to waste my money but since phones can be replaced = no pain.

Virginity to me is my choice to give myself to someone that one and only first time rather than a state of physical being. I made that choice as a young adult woman with my mate and have never regreted it. So no pain there.

Teeth are physically painful to loose but I generally see as a part of ageing and or life so not particularly emotionally painful. It can be socially painful since so many people can be cruel in how they see the absence of teeth. But the way I look at it most pretty teeth are "store bought" and really are a marker of wealth and not personal hygiene, character , or intelligence which are values that are often assigned to teeth. I have seen some extreamly cosmetically beautiful mouths that I would have considered a sewer because I knew what came out of or went into them.

Cash is of little value to me either so the loss or possession of it has little value to be painful or pleasureable either way. It is a means to an end of paying bills and affording some pass times. I have been ripped off of cash a few times in my life but fortuneately not lost what is really important to me; loved ones/friends, health, ability to work and provide for myself, the ability to enjoy things you can't buy.

Relationship Breakups can cause me pain. I don't take friendships lightly and to end one is a big deal. If I end a friendship it is because that person has betrayed my trust which generally has to be earned. I like to think I give people a lot of grace to be themself and will generally be generous so I have a hard time reconciling why it is necessary to take what I would give. Many of my deeper friendships are long lasting so I would miss them. A relationship with a mate I go into thinking of as life long so when that ends it is very painful. I have ended some relationships that I thought were going to be "mates" and the pain was much worse than physical pain.

I have lost keepsakes from loved ones over the years. When I didn't have a lot of life experience I did feel anger and pain because it seemed that it was so unfair to have so little of what it meant to have family. I spent most of my youth and much of my adult life seperated from my entire family. But what I came to realize is you NEVER loose the gift of the heart to the heart so the keepsake is a symbol and while it is nice to be able to see something and physically touch something that triggers that heart string a little easier it is just a thing not the feeling or the person. A theif can take a piece of jewlery but they can never take the real gift behind the jewlery which is the love or the sacrifice that someone made to earn that piece of jewlery for you. I have seen families greive over the injury or loss of a loved one that died trying to hold onto a ring or momento and they did not give a hang about the possession they just ached for the person. Jewlery is just a symbol not the act it represents. Symbols can be substituted,repalced, or just left behind and the person is still in your soul.

Well....it is no fun having teeth pulled. Glad I did it. Bad genetics made it sucked to not smile for most of my life.

Losing a love is the worst though. That kind of pain lasts beyond years...hope I never go through it again.

For me; it would be cash. With Cash; I can replace all the other crap. You need money to survive. Break ups are no big deal to me as there is not guarantee that the person will stay with you anyways; its just part of life. My parents never gave me nothing and they never meant nothing to me; so no loss there. Never lost a tooth but I am sure if I did; I can replace them with dentures. Losing a phone would probably give me some peace and quiet. laugh Losing virginity again is just part of life and no biggy.

I think answer G, would hurt me the most. That's of true sentimental value. Especially if it was given to me by a parent or sister. My heart would break if I lost such a keepsake.

I would have to pick items given to me by my late parents. That is not replaceable.
The rest I can manage without.

The so-called 'pain' caused by the loss of A thru F are manageable.
G - Loss has not happen as of yet

*Pain is only as painful as you let it be*
