Do people actually have different pain tollerances or are some people just better at keeping their mouth shut?

Question

i mean do we actually feel the same amount of pain some just like to cry less then others

Answer 1

Yes, people have different threshold of pain. Some people can hand more pain. I believe we feel the same amount of pain but it is all in how our brain receives and process that pain impulse

Answer 2

I think we do have different tolerences, if you asked 100 people truthfully if it hurt when a needle was injected into their arm, they would all say yes - if they told the truth. But some people would say it really hurt and others might (bizarrly) enjoy it.

Its like headaches, some people get on with it while others cripple over and cry, it comes down to personality.

Good question though - its such a hard thing to measure you couldnt possibly measure it.

Answer 3

Pain TOlerances are different to everyone, because u have to expierence a certain pain before u know if u can handle it or not.. so everyone is different, considering not everyone has broken a leg/.. broken a arm.. fractured a hip.. and others..

Hence like myself.. ive had a fractured hip.. girdle stone reduction on the left femur.. messed up back.. My pain tolerance is way higher then someone who has just recieved that kind of pain.. ive been living with this since 2005..

Pain tolerances are different to everyone.. so just because something looks like it doesnt hurt or does hurt.. Dont think the other person is lying when they say there hurting or not.. i personally dont mind getting shots.. or seeing blood.. then again going to Iraq twice in the marine corps. does that to you.. Enjoy.. :)

Answer 4

i am 14 years old and i can cut open my whole entire thigh and feel GREAT!:D i love pain.

honestly i dont think it hurts to get cut open.
