Don't all people experience physical pain?

"persistent pain (persistent or recurrent pain in the past six months)"

It's not normal for a young person to experience chronic physical pain.

I’ve been experience pain since high school. Only recently, about a decade later, am I realizing that it’s not normal to feel pain daily. While it’s not always really bad, it’s weird to think there are people walking around completely pain free.

Like 90% of people?

Did you know that 10% of people are in constant pain? This seems like way more of a slip.

It must be more normal now with all the repetitive stress injuries from phone and computer use

That seems like a random guess

well it's definitely a guess but since I gave a cause I wouldn't say it's random. How does it differ from your statement "It's not normal for a young person to experience chronic physical pain"?

Kinda moral panic vibes but I guess not completely random. How does it differ?

  1. it's possible to say that something is normal or not based on statistics. It's normal based on the data to not experience chronic pain.

  2. I wasn't giving any causes at all.

Sorry I thought you said it without any statistics. What statistic were you basing it off of?

my brother in christ it's the title of the post

The post is about the cross section of chronic physical pain and suicidality. Unless all people with chronic physical pain have suicidality then it does not support your statement.

You're not making much sense and I dont think you really get stats but here you go https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db390.htm

Why are you arguing something you already agree with?

Well I think you don't understand how stats work. The post is about the cross section of chronic pain and suicidality in adolescents. The study you posted is about adult chronic pain.

None of those support what you said, so maybe just admit that you made a claim without evidence that was your opinion and then weirdly called me out for replying with my opinion. I'm arguing because you are being hypocritical and I just want to call it out rather than let it go.

I said it's not normal to be in chronic pain. You can't let that go..

You're the one who came up with the conjecture that it's about stress injuries from cell phone use. That's pretty goofy.

I honestly can't understand what you need from me. Do you not understand what chronic pain means?
