I don't like pain and discomfort To be fair, some of my favourite experiences have been preceded by pain, discomfort and risk.

  There is a psychological study, where two group of people are asked to do some task for pay. Afterward they have to rate how engaging was the task they have to do. The group who are paid well reported that the work was boring. While the group who are paid little reported that the task was fun and challenging. The task was the same for both groups, but the first one justifies it by having compensation. While the second one by making the task fun or more cynically by deluding themselves that it has some kind of value.

    Even cynically, can it be considered delusion? If someone does manage to convince themselves internally that they're having fun, there's no way to externally make that statement false: they really did have fun
