I, for instance, do not have a high pain threshold, but I've noticed I have a very quick pain response. So if I stub my toe, it feels like the most painful thing I could possibly experience. But then it's gone very quickly. So it's like a quick inflection and then down. Other people I know, we've never done the experiment, I see them stub their toe and they're like, ugh, and then 10 minutes later, they're still feeling the ache.
