I always think of everyone having their own personal spectrum, ranging (crudely) from the most positive experience they've had, to the worst. Any new situation encountered by someone is judged relatively, based on their own personal spectrum. My point being that someone can honestly believe they are suffering at least relatively, if not absolutely. Each person has their own level of experience they consider "suffering".
