Sometimes that has neurological causes, but I suspect that’s also because it’s difficult to evolve out a trait like debilitating chronic emotional and/or physical pain because it’s not a monolithic trait, what causes people pain and the level of that pain is highly subjective and individual to the person, their circumstances, and is normally relative to their previous experiences with pain.
