Is Emotional Pain Worse Than Physical?

Personally I think physical pain is worse, you can always get over emotional pain.

Are you saying that physical pain is something you can't get over? And you can't always get over emotional pain, especially if it develops into a disorder, like schrizophrenia or a serious eating disorder (which can lead to death) for example.
But anyways, I'd say that both are just as bad.

I agree

It's the complete opposite...

Mental pain is haunting and always stays in the back of your mind, might cause mental illnesses, disturb your thoughts, emotions and feelings.
Physical pain damages you on the outside, might turn you paralyzed/permanently injured, cause mental pain. (!)
Both might make you kill yourself or someone else.
So which one would you rather have?
I think emotional pain is worse. :]

Umm.. idk.. depends... but emotional pain is da WORST 4 me..

#27

emotional is a lot worse.... just in my opinion because ive not come across a lot of physical pain yet but that may change who knows

Based on my own personal experience, I'd have to say that emotional pain has done the most damage to me as a person.

All of the physical pain I've experienced has been temporary, where as emotional pain has left lasting problems. Additionally, it's difficult for me to recall physical pain beyond simple words. Emotional pain comes immediately when I think of it and tends to be just as bad as the original pain.

now that I think about it, when I think how my own mother tries to give me away and how my father has been gone from my life for 11 years and how i've practically been alone all along, emotional pain is a lot worse. Trauma is very difficult to deal with, and many times physical pain is very treatable in a sense.

Emotional. Definitely emotional.
People who chose physical pain might not have been weighed down by one or more experiences, and I do understand that.

#31

i've dealt with more physical pain than emotional.... so for ME, NOT anyone else, but for ME i'd say physical since i have very little experience with emotional pain. if i had had more experience with emotional pain than physical, then i would have said it because emotional pain is worse than physical. but you know, i guess it all really depends

I have a lot of respect for you, but this is a seriously dumb statement.

#33

emotional, i've experienced a lot of emotional pain and physical pain. personally, i think it really depends; as gabeyly said. cause you can cause physical pain over emotional pain and emotional pain sometimes doesn't have any support from other people.

so i'd say emotional, because it can cause physical pain

#34

that's a tough question. it depends on the situation, so I'd say they're tied.

The wounds of being punched, pinched, or knocked on the ground can and will heal, and at the most there will be a scar but that's it.
I will most likely never get over my parents informing me I was useless, or my ex-boyfriend informing me that I should kill myself because I was worthless.

emotional imo

...i guess you havent had very bad emotional pain, have you...

It varies from personal experiences and opinions, I suppose. But I do still stand by my previous statement that it really does depend and both can lead to more difficulties towards life.

#39

Emotional pain CAN lead to physical pain, and possibly vice versa.

Physical pain can go away easily and can appear randomly throughout your life.While emotional pain sticks with you like an leech.It's pretty hard to get it off.
