Are we conditioned to feel false discomfort from rain drops?
Rain drops don’t hurt a bit. That’s my thesis.
Now, if you go to a busy entrance to a building just as rain begins to fall you’ll surely see people with expressions of anguish rushing to get indoors.
There are factors that may well contribute rightfully to this idea of discomfort like hairstyles, and the risks of soaking wet clothing.
However, the physical experience of rain is not painful. Unless maybe, it’s rain that is close to freezing. That might be a shocking bombardment that qualifies for the agonized winces from mere water droplets.
For the sake of discussion, I mean a typical light rain, on a day with comfortably warm weather.
Is it the conditioned response of instinct that runs us to cover? Is it the memory of rain in winter? Are we so comfortable we can’t bear rain drops without disgust?
