I have a fairly high threshold for pain. I noticed because when other people would get a minor injury they complain all day long about it, as if they can't stand it. And whenever I have pain I am able to ignore it, not worry about it or feel the need to talk about it. I got injured a lot as a child and never got medical assistance, so maybe that developed my threshold a bit. One time I had such a severe that I could hardly get out of bed for anything (concentration was impossible). I was 17 and dropped out so I didn't have anywhere to go, though. I regret not saying anything now because I have problems with that ear. Which I still haven't told anyone. I also didn't get my wisdom teeth pulled (no money or insurance) so I dealt with those pains for years. didn't speak of it. I also am not bothered by shots, even the ones in the gums. XD yay i have dental now!
