**🔥 “I’ve Been in Pain for a Living” — Steve-O’s Brutally Honest Truth đźŽ**
From sixth-grade outcast to stuntman legend, Steve-O has lived a life built on chaos—and deep inner wounds.
👶 As a kid, he craved attention so badly, it pushed people away. His report card said it all:
*"Steve desperately wants praise… but the way he seeks it backfires."*
🎬 Fast forward to *Jackass* fame, where he found a twisted kind of acceptance—by turning pain into performance.
*“I document myself being in pain, and I’ve become successful as a result.”*
But the spotlight didn’t fix the hurt.
He dropped out of college, convinced he’d die young, and filmed his stunts *just to prove he existed.*
All he wanted was to be seen. To be liked. To feel *enough.*
🍾 Alcoholism deepened the cracks—but recovery opened the door to honesty.
He once wrote a secret list titled **“To the grave.”**
But sharing it with someone he trusted… helped free him.
Still, he’s *not* sharing it with the world. Some scars stay sacred.
🧠And deep down? He *still* doesn’t feel good enough.
But here’s the twist:
> “If I felt I was good enough, I’d probably be content.
> And if I was content, I’d probably be lazy.
> So maybe I don’t want to feel good enough.”
Steve-O turned pain into purpose—but the hustle?
That’s fueled by never feeling *done.* 💔🔥
