I am the exact opposite in most areas, I hate pain and hate getting hurt in any way for this reason, yet I can (and have done) dislocate my knee caps without even flinching. Weird huh?

I am oversensitive to pain. I always seem to feel pain more intensely than other people.

I am also sensitive to touch. I don't often like being touched and I don't like the feeling of someone elses skin next to mine.

I also have to cut most labels off my clothes. Also some types of material doesn't feel nice on my skin.

Does anyone hate the feel of the sun on the top of their heads, find it necessary to wear a hat all the time?

I have a high threshold for pain with things like Heat, Cold and abrasions, but internal pain is awful. I could get a gash on my arm and be fine, but a small stomachache can be debilitating. Also, if someone slaps me on the back (hard) there is excruciating pain.
