    I'm not sure if you mean physical pain or emotional pain. For the former, I take small measures to reduce the pain, and maybe take painkillers as a last resort. For the latter, I keep it to myself.

    Physical pain, take a painkiller and shrug it off.
    Emotional pain, pull the duvet over my head and have a duvet day!

    If the pain is really bad I will pinch myself, causing temporary painnto distract myself. If its not to bad i swear a bit then walk it off.

    I take a nap. That usually fixes most pains whether physical or emotional.

    If it's caused by a person then I don't think of that person

    Physical: I take a painkiller.
    Emotional: if it's bad, crying helps towards getting the pain out of my system. Afterwards, I fell better equipped to deal with the issue causing the pain logically and constructively.

      with physical pain i am very resistant, like one time i was running to get my sister cause we had to go somewhere, and i tripped and pretty much did a half front flip and smashed into the ground and i just got up and went and found her then my mom freaked out. emotional i just snuff it out cause no one really cares any way

    Depends on the pain. The best cure I have found for myself for both physical and emotional pain is deep breathing exercises.

    Depends on the pain.

    migraine: I'll 2 migraine-strength excedrine tablets, and if it's really bad I'll turn the lights off, try to rest my head etc. (otherwise I may end up barfing ... which does actually fix the headache too but, i don't like that method)

    cramps: warmth, moving around a little, excedrine if it's super bad.

    mild pain: meh. if it's mild i can probably ignore it anyway.
    or muscle pain - massage, stretching, bath, etc. :)

  • Physical pain, I just tense for one second and then I continue doing what I was doing.

    Emotional pain, I'm not an emotional person.

    Physical pain or emotional?
    I guess either way I cope with anger.

    i used to numb myself but know i just accept the pain for what it is and maybe in some disturbing way, i kind of like it. masochist.
