It varies.
Our capacity for feeling pain, either physical or emotional, starts with an inherited level of sensitivity,
but can become more or less sensitive with conditioning.
How we think about and interpret something has a huge effect on our emotions. We can turn that fact into a skill to help us cope better with unwanted realities.
Those with low tolerance will react fastest and more intensely to a negative stimulus - either by getting rid of the source, or avoiding it, but there are many other possible reactions.
One can turn the unwanted stimulus into something useful - say a trigger to get a chore done, or a reason to invent something.
Or one can observe carefully and decide whether the irritant is harmful or harmless. If the latter, one can train oneself to ignore it - and eventually it no longer triggers a negative response.
Happy to chat about anything specific if you like.
