Pain Point
A problem that makes you want to scream into a pillow. It's not a big deal, but it's the kind of thing that turns a good day into a bad one, just because.
My phone died at the worst possible moment. My pain point is now my patience.
I spilled my coffee on my shirt. My pain point is now my dignity.
My boss called me a ‘disappointment’ in front of everyone. My pain point is now my self-esteem.
