| The thing with physical pain is, you know what's wrong and you can treat it immediately. Emotional pain, on the other hand, is a bit more complicated than that. The thing with emotional pain is, you can get help, but at the end of the day, you're the one that has to deal with it. You can't just leave it and hope it gets better (like with physical wounds), it's not gonna go away until you deal with it. |
 |
| I'd take emotional pain over physical any day, because I'm a pro at dealing with it now. Severe physical pain would most likely lead to emotional pain anyway, so I'd rather just have 1 instead of both. |

| Physical, since I still am fortunate enough not to face debilitating physical trauma. Emotional... well I think I've had enough of that pain for now. |

| Pain is pain and asking a question like that is like asking which is more bearable: Extreme heat or Extreme cold? Both will fuck you up, they just go about doing it in different ways. |

| ♪ Pain, without love. Pain, I can't get enough. Pain, I like it rough. 'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all. ♪ ...I guess what I'm trying to say is that I prefer emotional pain. Though the song kinda gives off a BDSM vibe, something that I'm somewhat into as well... |
 |
| Why can't I feel both? Sadness as I kill myself for someone I love. nah just kiddin physical any day |
| I have really funny thoughts that no one will get to hear. |
| Pain hurts, but long-term emotional pains from lovesickness hurt even more.. depends on the situation, and the severity of things. Pain could also be a combination of both physical and emotional pain, for example, a cancer patient, or any other person afflicted with a terminal illness would definitely experience both. Though I am not the one that should be talking about this, as I don't know what it's like to be in such a situation. |
| Emotional pain is more bearable. When you're in physical pain, you'd want the emotional pain to cover it up (e.g. self-pity). When you're in emotional pain, you'd want the physical pain to cover it up (e.g. self-harm). When you're in both physical and emotional pain, you'd be like, "Fuck this shit. If my physical pain ever gets better, I'm going to live my life." You'd wish you had only 1 -- the more arbitrary and curable 1 -- emotional pain. |
| My subjective reviews: katsureview.wordpress.com THE CHAT CLUB. |
| For me, physical pain is more bearable. But I guess it depends on the person involved. There are just some people who cannot handle emotional stress well (read: me). |
| IF YOU DON’T SHIP MY OTP, I SWEAR TO GOD I’ll be okay with that. IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE STUFF THAT I LIKE, I’M GONNA respect the fact that you have your own taste. |

Most likely a poor would be having troubles with what they will eat, and thus give them depressions.. And for some reasons, the rich as well will have some problems as well, may not be money, but the same feeling of frustration will hit him as the feeling of frustration felt by the poor.. This what make humans equal.. The emotional strength.. No matter how rich a person is, if you have a weak emotional strength, then you will not survive.. That explains why a lot of rich people still commit suicides... |

| If I had to choose I'd say emotional pain is less bearable, because it's not as easy to ignore and typically lasts longer. Someone mentioned torturing: even if a person is being tortured physically, the scars that are left are both physical and mental. The mental ones will last long after the torture is over. Both pains are intertwined though: Extreme form of physical pain is typically accompanied by emotional pain (which can be translated to fear, anger, depression, flashbacks etc.), extreme forms of emotional pain can be accompanied by physical pain (self-harming is one form, another is neurons firing wrong type of signals because of the overload causing actual physical pain). You can't make cripple "normal", and you can't make an emotionally scarred person "normal" either, both can learn how to better deal with situation. |

That's usually what you want to do when comparing - not just with extremes, but to subtleties as well. Physical pain also just touches upon more areas. For example, neuropathic pain (related specifically to the nerves themselves) is yet another form of pain that strongly influences one's emotional state. That is yet another pain I rather not have, since it's in conjunction with "emotional pain". Though you could argue you can also derive this pain from psychological pain. Regardless, the same point stands: that both of them are intricately connected. If we're really going with a dichotomy, I rather have a capable body with a depressing outlook than a crippled body with a healthy outlook. It really is a difficult decision to pick the least worst scenario. |

| Emotional, I've got a heart of stone. I can get through life without talking about any of my problems, like I already am. If I get injured physically, that could stop me from getting through life depending on how serious it is. |

| Schools out, No job at moment, STILL hello MAL Eh..I will try to be online |
| Since I never let out my isolated emotions, it can be quite unbearable and shouldn't be compared with physical pain. |
 |
| Quoting from Adam Savage: "I'm not used to getting pain from something I can't see" Same holds true for me. Though the cause of physical pain may not necessarily be visible to my eyes, what I'm trying to say is that physical pain is bearable and ignorable, while emotional pain is something that will always linger, and the more you try to ignore it the more you will notice it, which in turn will hurt you more. |

| Depends on the pain, of course. There is emotional pain you can shrug off like it never happened, and there is physical pain that is so prolonged, and so debilitatingly painful, that no one who saw someone in that state would ever not consider it more humane to end their suffering permanently. But I'd say in general, emotional pain inflicts more suffering than physical pain. |

| Emotional pain hits you harder and hurts for longer imo, maybe I'm just weird lol |
| Emotional pain. I get over things pretty easily and besides that I'm not very emotional either so i'd rather have emotional pain than actual pain any day. |

| I would rather have emo pain then physical shit |
Dipp-Fish said: emotional pain stays with you for life, coming back at the most random and usually devastating times possible. Where as physical pain can cleanse and be easily forgotten. Well gee glad to know you don't even acknowledge the existence of millions of people who have to live with chronic pain every minute of their lives. Get a clue before attempting to make all encompassing black and white statements. |

Amadyeus said: for emotional. Just OD on morphine or something. Heh.. you mean literally OD on morphine? Cause if not you might be curious to know that after a few years your tolerance gets so high that you end up spending half your day in physical pain, and the other half in light w/d wishing you had more medication. Yeah, very comfortable life. I'm honestly wondering if opiates are making my life even worst than it would be if I just had to bear the CP by itself. Oh and the DEA and stupid fucking shithead media and the ignorant masses have all come together to make it almost impossible to even get morphine unless your dying of cancer or you get a lucky compassionate doctor. These days they practically give you a sugar pill and tell you to fucking go die in a ditch. |

| People sure do love denying that they are human beings, saying shit like emotional pain doesn't exist. LOL Well, actually, they could just be autistic. Who knows.. |

| Honestly this thread is kind of rigged. Because in the end it just matters to what degree of pain you are in and how long it lasts. Also it doesn't distinguish between acute physical pain and long-term chronic pain. In the end I think both types of pain can completely ruin a person, it just matters how bad the pain is. The best answer someone has come up with is emotional pain because with chronic physical pain you'd inevitably get emotional pain as well. That answer does make a lot of sense at least. But then there are types of emotional pains that can render one catatonic. Sooo.. this subject is rigged! |

| Emotional of course - you just bottle it up and sink it in to a deep dark place until it resurfaces years later in uncontrollable bouts of anger. Physical pain on the other hand can mean that it's difficult to get to the pub on a Friday - If anything emotional pain will get you to the pub faster. Case closed. This topic can now be removed |
