A year ago I could barely handle eating foods with black pepper, which I was made fun of for my entire life for it

But now I've been eating spicier foods more and more recently for no reason, and generally developing a craving for it.

You gain a tolerance towards spicy foods and if you think CTM is spicy, you have a long way to go.

no you're just developing a taste and tolerance for spice which is normal. I would bet the stuff you consider "spicy" isn't actually all that spicy anyway.

Eating spicy food releases adrenaline, it's a fun group activity. Releasing adrenaline safely (without having to run from a bear or run off a building) has been the most common way for people to "have fun" in their spare time. It's not weird, don't beat yourself up over it. It's the same as watching a horror movie.

It's the endorphin rush from your brain responding to the pain signals. Essentially you're becoming a heroin addict.

This anon is right. First, it's Indian food, then, you're eating peppers raw. Before you know it, you will be injecting 1 Billion Scoville hotsauce directly into your tongue.

How do I develop this taste and tolerance? I've been eating curries for like 20 years, Indian, Thai, whatever and I never got used to the native-level spice.

just keep eating higher and higher levels of spice.
also you have to consider that people from spice-heavy cultures were born into it and have a higher "base level" tolerance. it's like even if you study a second language for years, it probably won't ever come as naturally to you as somebody who spoke it since birth

not really lel
Reason why I was made fun of was because I was the only brown native that couldn't handle heat.
just from the smell of spice and I'd turn into a coughing baby

It's so weird how people who obsess over heat levels always fall into two categories if not both (usually both)

1. Low IQ people (Black/Brown)
2. Weak beta males who falsely think that eating spicy food is a sign of toughness when in reality it's always the biggest pussies on earth who obsess over spicy food.

There has never been a legit badass who cares about this non sense. It's weak people trying to overcompensate for their weakness.

Retard logic. It's more like how Indians get used to the smell of shit and don't notice bad smells but when normal people go to India they vomit at the smell.

100%, I went in reverse myself, used to love the Vinders, the Phaals etc.
These days give me a CTM, and a plate of chips.
Fuck yes.
