Pain tolerance

OK, this might sound silly...
How can you tell if you have a high or low tolerance to pain?
Are there any ways to work thisout?

... what did that have to do with her question?

LOL!
Well my question seems rather hard to answer

Ok, an example, list some pain examples, how much you felt the pain etc.
E.g- belly button piercing

Pain tolerance varies from person to person but I guess it's just how much things hurt you. You can't really tell until you actually do something. Some parts on your body are more sensative than others so imo you basically have different levels of pain tolerance.

For me, I consider myself to have a medium pain tolerance. I got my nose and my belly button piercied and neither of them hurt that terribly bad for me.

I have a high pain tolerance.
I got my tongue pierced plus my lip done with snake bites.

Kat · 09-24-2007, 02:36 AM

well i've seen people feeling faint/sick when having a belly button piercing.
But it never hurt/bothered me. I know this may not be something big, but it may seem big to some people.
what sort of things realyl do hurt you?

xxXRawrHelloKittyxxX · 09-24-2007, 02:38 AM

Nothing really hurts me physically.
It's more of an emotional thing, which I'm pretty sure other people would agree.
I have this stomach disease which causes horrible pain sometimes and that makes me bend over crying.
So, that hurts me.
It depends.

Hmm, I like to think I have a very high pain tolerance, I've had plastic burned over my arm and didn't hurt too bad, I've been slapped in the face with a hot spatchula after cooking burgers. I can take quite a few hits to the jaw without feeling woozy or hurting too bad. These are all some silly things my brother has done to me.

Kat · 09-24-2007, 04:19 AM

being slapped in the face would hurt anyone.

It depends on the pain. Like tattooins pain, i think ill be able to cope that, but dont think i can cope other pains.

I dont see what freezing yourself with ice will tell though.

pain affects each of us differently, i might find something very painfull that you think isn't
