Is it possible to rewire your brain to not be bothered by pain? To just acknowledge it but not be distressed by it? I hate being controlled by it. I know that pain is simply a signal that evolved to keep you from doing dangerous things and to inform you of injury but still I can't ignore it like a computer warning. (I get that if it was that easy to ignore it it would defeat the purpose). But often pain just stands in the way and is too sensitive. Like when running feels painful even though you still have enough stamina to run longer.

That's called "The Wall" you push through it you gigantic pussy.
Also meditation and willpower. See pic related.
But the fact is you NEED pain. It serves a a biological purpose, it's a very important part of the sensory feedback system your whole perception of reality is based on.
Without it all kinds of things become pesky, like even rolling over and moving in your sleep is because your body gets pins and needles as it sits in one position too long and rolls you over. Ever fall asleep with your arm behind your head and it goes completely dead? You wake up because if you didn't you could get a blood clot, or kill tissues from poor circulation. Or scald yourself in the shower without realizing it.
And there's always pharmacopeia if all else fails. Plenty of drugs to make you literally feel no pain. Some are more fun than others.
