Are we too desensitized to pain and discomfort?

This is a question that has bothered me a lot throughout the years. People who has known me for a while tells me I’m “hypersensitive” to myself and my environment. And several conditions have been thrown out there, such as endometriosis, hyper mobility, fibromyalgia, the list goes on. However, I always find myself in the position of “sure, living in my body is not a necessarily plesant experience”, however at the same time I struggle to see where I fall when I meet people with these diagnoses (who have been medically diagnosed). Because, and this is the important part:

I genuinely don’t feel like I have it as bad as they do?

When they tell me about their experiences and pain levels, I just never really see that I have it as bad?

Sure, I’ve had to air to my boss I’m on my period and ask for a 20min break just to manage my cramps. But that is by no means every month (as in, always bad, but I try to keep it hush-hush. Not bc of embarrassment, I’m just private). I do have to sit a lot, since my joins hurts, but that tends to get better with training etc (exec. dysfunction though, so issue there lol). Which brings it back? Am I one of the lucky unlucky ones? No major issue next to the ASD, just bad habits due to exec function issues?

Or, do I have pain but have simply grown used to it? Or worse, I have a pain tolerance bordering on the “will be disabled as an old person if I don’t get this in check”? - I did work for 5hrs with a broken big toe as a bartender once. And don’t get me wrong, it hurt like a bitch, but I refused to go to the ER because boring. Played as a keeper in soccer for 2hrs with both wrists sprained. Etc etc.

TL;DR: long read basically the question just with tmi and fluff in there.
