Some girls exaggerate periods, especially infront of their boyfriends.
Like being a girl I'm myself aware of pain or what kinda' pain a girl feels normally,(if it's too much and not bearable then it's abnormal)be it high or low level of pain.
But I feel girls do this, not to get cared but they sexualise it ig, they want their boyfriends to know that this is happening to them(a thing which is personal).
