Method Actually how difficult is it to stab the chest?

Chest. Kitchen knife.

Is it a matter of pain or is there something else going on?

Both pain and SI. You know stabbing a knife, especially a large kitchen knife, is painful and dangerous. As a result, your body will be heavily averted to it. This is part of the reason why it's not a recommended method for CTB. I think it's also hard to stab enough, hard enough, and deep enough to do lethal damage.

Though I will say, there are people who do it and succeed. It's just very few

Subjective question, how difficult would it be for you?
For me, for example, it would be an impossible thing to do. I feel that a single strong, impulsive move would not be enough to get him to where he needs to be, and a single stab may not even be enough

SI would physically not let you. Unless you absolutely demolish your SI, this method's a lost cause.

I cannot think of a more difficult thing to accomplish as far as willpower goes but historically people have done it. Pulling the trigger on yourself is a cakewalk compared to that.

I've had stab wounds before and this is exactly true and false based on pain intolerance and unless it's were your most comfortable with, it won't actually hurt as badly, unless somewhere most exposed, like wrists or throat, especially if you have more nerves in other parts of your body

I think it depends on how sharp it is, how fast your aiming before your body releases, and how keen you are to exposing the area, then it will definitely hurt, but the pain becomes like how skin is while it is exposed, it numbs itself through the pain, and it just shingles. It won't hurt anymore. Honestly, this could work, but you'd need something sharper of allow yourself to loose half a liter of blood before you pass out and die

It's incredibly hard. You could try it to see how hard it is, 99% you do no damage to your self because you just stop before anything.
