Just a though about allowing others to feel our pain (lemmy.world)

Do you ever wonder how normal people would react if we were able to give them our pain for a day? I feel like our tolerance for pain has gone up enough that what we feel on the day to day would make someone legitimately think they’re dying and go to the hospital

I don't personally have chronic pain, but I have other disabilities which cause chronic suffering if that makes sense. I apologize if this is a poor way to relate and I have no interest in which of us has it "worse" or anything like that.

But boy do I wish I could bestow upon others a time-limited sampling of the life I live with the bonus of having people like themselves around to motivate them.
