Healthy gums don’t bleed, and are not painful to floss at all.
I’m in my 30s and only recently learned flossing technique and got my gums healthy. Flossing used to take so long and always involved a lot of bleeding no matter how delicate I was.
These days I’m absolute savage with floss and interdental brushes and never have any blood or pain.
Once you get your gums healthy you’ll be disgusted at yourself for ever not flossing. The amount of disgusting I can floss out on an almost daily basis is insane.
Plus you’re breath will not smell gross anymore.
It’s worth committing to the habit of flossing. Trust me.

I hate that!
They’ve got you strapped down into that chair naked with that thing in your mouth that forces you to smile while they all stare at you and chant “Shame. Shame. Shame…”
I really don’t know why I keep going back.
Leaving a comment, so that in 3 and a half years time when you develop a humiliation fetish, you can look back and think of me.
Someone I know just got their teeth checked, first time in four years. The dentist was surprised at how clean and upkept their teeth were. They asked if he flossed his teeth and he said he has never done it in his life. They still shamed him.
It’s like dentist only know how to shame. I have yet to meet one that understands self-care is hard for people with ADHD/Autism. I’m doing by best and shame makes me give up.
Dental care is becoming a lot more compassionate with the newer generations of dentists. I’d recommend making a switch. Do a little shopping around and actually read the reviews on Google, etc. They’ll make it pretty clear who the good ones are.
