Abnormally high pain tolerance?
Hello. I have lived a pretty normal life. I haven't disfigured myself, haven't attempted suicide, haven't changed my body, nothing like that. My body is as it has always been. My head too, I'm not mentally insane.
But, recently I've noticed pain doesn't hurt me quite as much as it used to.
For example, last week I was playing paintball without armor and I was shot in the back of the neck. I have a huge welt there. But just yesterday I got shot several (1-3) inches away from that spot and I barely felt it.
Last week, I tested myself and I placed my hand in boiling water. Obviously, I felt pain. After several seconds, it subsided and after I took my hand out, I had minor burns.
Today, I accidentally dropped a cinderblock on my foot as I was trying to carry it. I heard something snap but I assumed it was the block. Only then I realized that I could barely walk. My foot was not in pain, but it was obviously broken. I mean, I didn't feel it break at all.
