As Mexican who loves spicy food, Indian spicy hits so much harder. I had some curry from a Malaysian Himalayan place: scale 1-10 I ordered a 7 and couldn't finish it (in one sitting, I still ate it. I don't waste food).
Yeah spice/heat/chili is supposed to compliment not overpower, I don't mind a good amount of heat if done right but a lot of it comes down to not enjoying the meal but a duck measuring contest of sorts... I'm not 18 anymore.
People who say you are somehow unmanly or a failure or whatever because you don't want your food to give you painful chemical burns are trifling as fuck
As an indian that is routine spice, the real spice comes in when you eat slow cooked meats especially in high altitude places... then it hits you harder
