This. I have such a high pain tolerance that I once endured an outpatient breast surgery without the anesthetic properly working, and I don't think most people could handle that. My 10 is another person's 20. Still, when I recently complained of an abdominal pain so severe that I feel like I can't even breathe when it happens, the specialist I saw told me that I probably just need to learn how to relax. Unbelievable.
