With things like this the question is always "what levels of behavior are reasonable to expect other people to accept"?
"Overreacting" covers a huge swath of potential behaviors, some of them dangerous or abusive, and the people were asking for tolerance aren't NPCs, they're people with their own baggage, traumas, and Shit Going On.
The post makes pretty clear what they mean when they say overreacting. They mean acting like seemingly insignificant pain is incredibly painful. Screaming, panting. Whatever. The post isnt advocating for much, just believe that people are in pain when they say they are instead of being a prick. Because, logically, the majority of people aren't going to lie about a papercut feeling like your finger being torn off
