I don’t know who needs to hear this but:
-“it only hurts a little” is still pain
-“I can ignore it” is still pain
-“I can cope with/manage it” is still pain
-“it’s bearable” is still pain
-“I can push through it” is still pain
-“it doesn’t hurt that much” is still pain
-“it doesn’t stop me from doing x” is still pain
You don’t need to be in agonizing pain to be in pain.
It could be/I’ve been through worse is still pain
