I like to experience a bit of sufferings in my daily life, to toughen up. Nothing that will hurt my health or my mental health. I often imagine my torso ripped open, my stomach's juices overflowing and burning my innards while an army of buzzing flies fest on me. I imagine walking on fire. Sometimes i walk barefoot on rocks, shit is painful.
Well you know, stuff like that. Suffering is an interesting experience for me.

You have no idea what suffering is.
What you want to do, according to what you said yourself, is elevate your physical pain threshold. That has little to do with suffering, which is a state of mind.

I have experienced excrutiating physical pain, but never have I been as torn and hurt as from emotional scarring. The pain you feel when, for the first time, the person you trust, love and adore the most, turns out to be your executioner… is indescribable. You cannot train for it and you cannot heal it - you can only experience it and learn from the experience. No amount of support or advance warnings will nullify this.

If THAT is the sort of suffering you seek, OP, I urge you to reconsider.

Absolutely true. I feel torn apart and lonely and terrible just thinking about a potential girlfriend leaving me! In any case, physical exercise past your point of endurance should do it. Just ride a bicycle, or something like that, the whole day without eating or resting :].

Turn on the cold water in your shower and stand in it 30+ min, that is painfull and I doubt you can do it. (You will probably get a panic attack the first minutes).

yea, having your gf dump you after 6 yrs with no reason is suffering. I tried the cold shower thing before too, didn't last very long :D
