Dangerous situations are stressful, but I would prefer that they not be. I don't find stress and anxiety, even when founded on real problems, to be all that helpful in making me resolve the relevant problems; they just make my life additionally worse for as long as the problems persist.

(Getting injured is bad; nonetheless I have no regrets about having hacked my [not-pain-tolerance] up to a level where the pain from injuries no longer tends to be all that unpleasant. Injuries-plus-unpleasantness-from-pain are more bad than injuries on their own, and insofar as I'm now slightly more blase about being injured, well, it's for the good reason that being injured is now less bad rather than for any bad reason.)
