Emotional trauma can be worse, as in that something simple can trigger a reaction and cause you to think about something that happend in the past (PTSD for example), and (depending on the person) will often result into a downwards spiral of emotion due to overthinking, self-loathing or even anxiety.
Physical trauma is something you can laugh about once healed (unless it's a permanent condition, such as losing a limb or permanent backproblems, then both physical and psychological damage are present) and will stimulate the production of endorphins and adrenaline, provoking positive feelings and energy. Psychological problems can cause physical pain and inconvenience, for example headaches, nauciousness or even throwing up from emotional stress.

My conclusion? Psychological is the worst, since treatment depends on the person and can even be contagious if brought into contact with people who are emotional.
The instability and how often this can occur also depends on wether the individual is autistic, has social anxiety or is very insecure about themselves, where negative emotions can be even more volatile, if not downright dangerous to both them and their surroundings.


But this can also be used to your advantage; if the person you speak to has a history of good memories about you, or you manage to make them think about you in small things on a daily basis, they will be more in control of themselves due to the fact they think about good things as well.
Say for example a friend of yours makes a shitty joke about a fire extinguisher, you probably will laugh out of pity. BUT say you have a bad day and spot an extinguisher, making you think of said joke and friend, your thoughts will wander off to your friend and the more good things in life.

Thoughts are both a virus, and a cure. Keep this in mind people.

i believe emotional pain is worse but physical pain is also bad it depends if ur sensitive or not its ur not rlly sensitive then for them physical pain hurts more but if u hear words especially from someone u love telling things to u whom u never expected to here that from it will take a dark turn physical pain can heal yea u probably will have a scar but scars heal but emotional pain most time dont that will also will leave a scar maybe even more that just a scar but its easy to grt over emotional pain that is something u will always remember some people get through it others dont becuz it hurt to much which is bad and worse cuz it can lead to suicidal thoughts depression anxiety and cutting themselves to help them "relax"

srry for misspelled words

I have bpd so emotional pain becomes physical pain to me. I feel so deeply it hurts my heart so bad it feels like my whole body is in pain.
