Eh, I find emotional to be much, much worse in the long run. I'd rather feel the pain of a broken arm than be living in a waking nightmare in my head constantly. Physical pain, as horrible as it is, is superficial. Emotional is not. MirkoS77

Don't underplay physical pain. I've known people that have had their lives wrecked due physical pain and the trauma involved with it. Walking nightmare in your head? Imagine waking up in physicalpain every single day for the entirety of your life. Physical pain can be a lot more than superficial, theres more than just broken arms...

Some people here are underplaying emotional pain... You are underplaying physical pain. Don't compare a minor instance of physical pain to an extreme instance of emotional pain. Compare equal extremes.

I'd rather have my cat get run over by a car than have a cannable eat my legs while they are still attached.

Great post, but most won't listen. They think bad emotional pain constitutes having their steak slightly undercooked. Physical pain is a light switch. Emotional pain f@cks with your head and everything you are.

Physical pain can F- you up just as badly as Emotional pain. Physical pain can persist till the day you die, and F- with your head and your very being, just like emotional pain. Not only that, but physical pain can lead to /cause serious emotional pain as well.

Taken to their extremes, Physical Pain and Emotional Pain are on nearlyequal grounds... Though, I'd give the *edge to physical pain.

As for everyday, possible pain (what are the odds someone will torture you? Make you watch as your family is tortured and eaten by cannables?), I say that they are still on equal grounds, but I'd give a slight *edge to emotional pain.

Edit: * giving the edge to somthing is refering to wich one is worse.

Eh, I find emotional to be much, much worse in the long run. I'd rather feel the pain of a broken arm than be living in a waking nightmare in my head constantly. Physical pain, as horrible as it is, is superficial. Emotional is not.

Said like someone who's never had issues with chronic pain... ask someone wtih bone-pain, or severe neuropathic pain how it compares to a broken arm. :roll: You're making the same error with physical pain that you're baselessly accusing others of making with emotion al pain. How... unsurprising.

Baselessly? Don't you dare, DARE tell me I don't know what it is to live with pain. You know nothing about me. Since this bears on the converstion, I was diagnosed with a softball sized tumor in my chest at 20, and I was in extreme daily pain for many years while in treatment to shrink it and I still deal with chronic nerve pain to this day along with the constant discomfort from all the tissue it displaces. Here is a photo of my MRI, keep in mind this was after a few years of treatment when it had already significantly shrunken from initial diagnosis:

*whew* I'm sorry, I'm trying to keep my composure here, no one tells me I don't know what it is to live with pain and that I'm making "baseless accusations". I've gone through more pain and suffering in life than I care to remember on both ends of the spectrum, and it continues and will always be there until my last days. I have a VERY solid foundation to stand on to support my opinion, from personal experience. And yes, despite ALL of the horrible physical pain I've endured all these years, the emotional side takes the cake anyday of the week to me. Easily. And chronic pain is worse than intense, momentary pain, of which I've had my fair share of also.

My apologies for the harsh tone, but man I'm pissed.

I'd rather be in emotional pain.

Depends on how severe though. If it's just a little, I'd rather have physical.

If it were to be severe, I'd rather be in emotional pain. Besides, I've already been through the worst, so, I think I can take whatever you throw at me.

I know very well what it's like to wake up everyday in pain. And unable to get to sleep because of it. Trust me I've had my fair share. The reason I used a broken arm as an example is that's because what some others in the thread have mentioned, so I thought I'd use it.

And you tell me to compare equal extremes, yet then compare your cat getting run over to cannibals eating your legs while attached. For some reason, that doesn't strike me as quite equal. That must be some cat. :|

[QUOTE="Super_MooRio"] I would love to see your boyfriend/girlfriend slowly consume your heart tell you they love you and then break off your relationship... They say its not you its me and then you see them with a much more attractive girl around there arms. How would you feel if your entire family was butchered before your eyes and they let you live? There are many worse things than getting hit in your nuts brah.Super_MooRio

I have boy parts, wouldnt affect me. You arent really talking to someone who feels like that. We do both have the ability to feel pain though...

When i read that paragraph i just think you're a bit emo. But you may be that age so it would be understandable.

I'd rather get dumped than get my balls crushed brother.

You have never experienced it have you?... I have watched people get kicked in the balls and laugh about it... I really think the whole thing is over-hyped.

Clearly you dont understand what it's like to have balls.

I've yet to hear of any documented case where sadness caused physical injury, aside from cases where people are consciously causing the physical pain to themselves.

Which, in your experience, is worse?waqster

Surely both are intertwined?

If someone is slicing your fingers off one sliver at a time you have enormous physical pain but then comes the realisation that your going to be maimed and handless kicks in causing emotional pain.

People are saying emotion pain because it doesn't affect them? Then... that's not emotional pain. Surely the question assumes that you are equally susceptible to both.

Yep... most telling severe version of one often lead to the other. IMO, they're dead even assuming equal severity and duration. Both lead to suicide, both to depression and visible alteration of brain structures, both convert to the other, both often require extensive treatment with medication.

Indeed... and severe emotional pain can lead to psychosomatic pain, or stress-related inflammatory disorders... which cause pain.

Emotional pain isn't as bad as physical pain unless we are talking about the death of somebody close. I can find ways to dull or numb emotional pain, with different types of drugs, but physical pain just sucks. It makes basic things difficult to do and just makes life difficult to deal with.
