Some people feel more pain because their bodies are like sensitive radios. Imagine you're listening to a radio, and your neighbor's loud music is the pain signal coming in. If your radio is turned up high, you hear every little sound, that’s what it feels like when someone has a strong sensitivity to pain. Other people have their radios turned down low and barely notice the noise.
Examples
- A child drops their toy on the floor and yells in surprise because it hurts a lot.
- An elderly person walks on hot pavement but barely flinches.
- One friend laughs when they get tickled, while another screams.
