minus-squareotp@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 hours agoIt’s generally not, though certain types of stimuli can cause pain through their own merit either directly or indirectly. Bright lights that cause prolonged squinting, loud sounds (obviously), etc. I recently learned that touch can also cause pain. Like just general touching that results in overstimulation that feels like pain. That’s not common. I imagine it’s kind of overloading the tickle and itchy pathways or something, which feels painful?..
