Which are you better at handling?
For purposes of this poll, pain is something like the throbbing after a stubbed toe, or grief after a death. Discomfort is something that's associated with action - nausea for puking, hunger for eating, shame for hiding.

Dangit I tweeted this poll in bed, interrupting my falling asleep process, and didn't see the typo

I answered pain, but it might be because I've experience such little pain and so much discomfort.

I'm a burly fmr. Marine who can't handle the pain. Hell for me is a train wrapped in barbed wire, on fire traveling through my urethra. Just shoot me.

Okay, and this poll, stubbing your toe and grieving a death are totoally different types of pain.
I can take physical pain, but emotional pain is more difficult. Hunger is a physical pain and not always just a “discomfort”

Something granted me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, and the courage to change the things I can.
Nobody told me what to do about the things that are a bit of both.
