Emotional pain is worse, and may not be healed over time.

For me it's physical pain. I could go into details about how emotions never get to me but would anybody really care? :P I have permanent nerve damage in my right hand from an acid spill and doing ANYTHING with that hand hurts it, crumpling up a piece of paper feels as if I'm squeezing a fist full of thumb tacs. There's my reason for thinking physical pain is worse.... I'd give anything to have my hand go back to normal *sigh*

i'd rather have bad physical pain than bad emotional pain. emotional pain will stay with you, you can make physical pain go away with medicine.

Man tells it how it is. I'm in no way a mans man, immensely the opposite, but everyone who says emotional is just being a gimpy emo.

Emotional Pain is much worse

Emotional Pain - you are depressed, you are lonely, you feel that you cant do anything, you wanted to kill yourself or hang yourself (worst death to me), you are already giving up, you did physical pain to yourself because you know it wouldn't last long because in the next seconds you will be dead, if you manage to survive you go to hospital, your guardians pay your bills for you, you wasted their money, people ask you question, let you know how important life is, you regret you attempt to kill yourself, you will see the nightmare everyday.

We all neeed to understand that experience is agony and ecstasy at the same time. Pain and joy holding hands. And pain is not suffering, but part of the Good Fight we must fight in the name of our dreams.

I don't regret my painful times; I bare my scars as if they were medals. I know that freedom has a high price, as high as that of slavery; the only difference is that you pay with pleasure and a smile, even when that smile is dimmed by tears.

If you truely believe this then I want to ask an honest, non troll, question.

Does that not make most who try/do kill themselves bad people? They think this emotional pain is the most horrid experience. They think there is no escape. So they inflict it like a plague onto the people around them in their wake. But if they think that the other people can "just get over it" then why can't they?

i consider those people who tried to kill them self as bad people who can still change. they think it's easy to "just get over it" but in reality it takes a lot of time just to get over it.

Lol i think people think they are meant to say emotional pain. I think it helps that i dont have the ability to suffer emotional pain, whatever that is. So yeah i'd rather not get physical pain.

Ilovegames1992
Lol didn't you say some time earlier that you were slightly depressed? You might wanna recheck your previous posts, otherwise you might jumble up what you want to say and speak the truth.

Well both have realistic limits. Losing a loved one would be very depressing, and so would getting punched. Being stabbed, sliced, crushed, and boiled would be even worse, but that stuff probably won't happen to you.

Unless you're a fighter, soldier or been through a terrible accident or disease, physical pain can't be that much.

There are too many variables to compare them. The intensity of physical and emotional can vary, and the duration of physical pain is a large factor. Breaking an arm compared to being losing a loved one, it's obvious which is worse... the one you can't permanently heal from. But being tortured for years in the most severe and unbearable ways would not hold up to many emotional pain. And of course, being tortured for that long will cause emotional pain in the first place, e.g mentally breaking down from the pain you're suffering.

It really depends. Both can put you out of the game for a very long time or permanently. Some people have witnessed or been through things that completely break them mentally and never recover or have extreme side-effects or they commit suicide. Physical pain you could be paralysed from the neck down or something. For small things though, like having a break-up or breaking a hand. I'd rather go with hand. For the slightly larger big things like, getting in a car wreck and having a parent die, i'd rather the physical still.

I don't really see how the two can be compared. Physical pain hurts in the moment, hell, hurts like hell, but emotional pain is torment. It's like a living nightmare. I'm getting the impression many here view emotional pain as simply having a bad day. Try watching someone you love being eaten alive by cancer. Or getting into a car accident that kills 4 kids that you were responsible for and have to live with.

I have a tumor in my chest. I've had numerous surgeries, huge needles stuck in me, years and years and YEARS of weekly chemotherapy and radiation, chronic pain, and I can tell you, as miserable as all of it was, NONE of it even begins to compare to the emotional side. But again, they're so different. If I had to choose pain, I'd choose physical. But then again I've learned over the years how to endure physical pain, so....

Emotional Pain is much worse

Emotional Pain - you are depressed, you are lonely, you feel that you cant do anything, you wanted to kill yourself or hang yourself (worst death to me), you are already giving up, you did physical pain to yourself because you know it wouldn't last long because in the next seconds you will be dead, if you manage to survive you go to hospital, your guardians pay your bills for you, you wasted their money, people ask you question, let you know how important life is, you regret you attempt to kill yourself, you will see the nightmare everyday.

We all neeed to understand that experience is agony and ecstasy at the same time. Pain and joy holding hands. And pain is not suffering, but part of the Good Fight we must fight in the name of our dreams.

I don't regret my painful times; I bare my scars as if they were medals. I know that freedom has a high price, as high as that of slavery; the only difference is that you pay with pleasure and a smile, even when that smile is dimmed by tears.

What a load of unmitigated self indulgent crap

On the bright side, it sounds like he won't be in circulation for long... so you know... that's a plus.

Emotional pain is way worse. Physical pain is sooooo much simpler. It gets a little better each day and you know for a fact that it will heal up completely in some reasonable amount of time. Emotional pain...I mean, you can be all happy that you went a whole afternoon without thinking about it, then you're consumed by it for the next week. You just have to rely on those memories eventually fading away, which can take forever.

I think I'd rather have a broken arm than a broken heart.

Cause they want attention? Their not smart enough to find a healthier to fight off stress such as working out? Also the reason why people cut themselves is because when you do the brain lets out a drug(dopamine?) to feel better. Like a short kind of high. But anyway being emo is not cool... I have been hurt emotionally sure it takes awhile but it goes away sooner or later. But physical pain can also cause emotional pain at the same time for example have you ever been slapped? It hurts man..

Emotional pain. It can run and cut a lot deeper than physical pain can over the long run. Physical pain fades away, wounds will heal, but emotional scars and emotional pain is a constant and very hard to hide.
