i play guitar do im really protective of my fingers i have a wire cutter for my strings and i cant even look at it without my head filling with thoughts of cutting my fingers off   i recently got a new pair of wire cutters that couldnt possibly fit my fingers so i dont think that but they cant cut bass strings so ill need to get the old one out eventually  at one point the original pair was just lying on the floor and i looked at it and just later back in bed crying because i was so sick of getting those thoughts every day
