I’ve never had a headache which wasn’t the direct result of hitting my head or a hangover.
I am half convinced people’s “random” headaches are all fake and humanity has just kind of silently agreed that “the headache” will be a socially acceptable way to back out of minorly annoying but otherwise low stakes obligations.
I never had one until I was 17 and woke up with a crushing migraine, puking and crying. Those continued (not frequent but crazy intense) until I got pregnant, a pause each time I was. Menopause didn’t stop them (so disappointing) but menopause plus low dose hormones has pretty much done the trick.
But I’ve never had a “regular” headache, like a tension headache. Only migraine, hangover, sinus.
What I wanted to say though is that you are so lucky if your head never hurts, like hurts so infrequently that you think people are faking it. It’s a terrible place to hurt.

Edit - does this mean I win the thread?
