Emotional pain for it is,for me ,easier to get over and is gone more quickly.
-
physical pain will pass but emotional pain can haunt you for the rest of your life so i would take physical
-
physical pain is more easy for me to get over...emotional pain is more harder to get over! and it takes a lot more time...=/....oh well!
-
all I can say is emotional pain stays for along time. I was in a marriage where there was alot of verbal and emotional abuse..sometimes i would wish he would have hit me ..you lose your self esteem, confidence, self-worth and it has taken me 7 yrs to get that back , I have become stronger but memories still stick in your brain...certain songs, certain sayings, seeing someone abuse someone else in public . this will haunt me forever if i let it...that is the secret if you let it..I really try not to..
-
I wouldn't exactly use the word "prefer," but I'd much rather endure physical pain for as long as it lasts rather than emotional pain, which might never go away.
-
I would take physical. Emotional seems to be more lasting.
-
Physical pain is easier for me to ignore, and after you've been through enough of it you usually develope a higher tolerance and it doesn't hurt so much, emotional pain is, for me anyway, exactly the opposite, it only gets worse and worse the longer it goes on. So I'll always take pysical pain over emotional pain, I've had more than enough emotional pain to last me the next couple of decades.
-
I PREFER NEITHER - Pain is pain for me
-
Physical, because it's easier to get over or to learn to deal with. Emotional leaves scars that will never heal.
-
Sometimes I think that physical pain and emotional pain go hand-in-hand. I am like so many other people, I would prefer neither.
-
The cool thing about physical pain is that, under the right circumstances, it just doesn't register. I've had incidents where I've separated my shoulder, pulled/torn a groin muscle, or run 9 miles on a silver-dollar-sized blister and not felt any pain. Our bodies don't seem to have the same suppression circuits when it comes emotional pain...:-(.... . . .
-
Physical cause that one you can heal faster.
-
I'd definitely choose emotional suffering. Physical suffering induces emotional suffering for me, so it doesn't make sense to choose that option.
-
Physical suffering is quite tolerable if the mind is at peace. Pain is made much worse by all of our psychological resistance to it. Emotional suffering (i.e. the death of a loved one) is much more painful for me, but even that has a certain natural "flow" when we're not clinging to or resisting anything. So the really nasty kind of suffering is self-generated, originating in our attempts to perpetuate and promote our own ego. That stuff digs in and stays for years, disrupting and distorting our values, putting us at odds with life, and forcing our lives into an endless vicious circle of suffering. That's the worst kind of suffering, and also the most curable kind.
-
Physical. Pain can be put out of your mind, but emotional pain is IN your mind.
-
Physical...I have a pretty high tolerance to pain as I experience it most of the time, and it it much easier to recover from than emotional pain.
-
Emotional. I can repress that a little easier.
-
Oh my gosh, physical pain, please!! So much easier to deal with.
-
Can I pick or in this situation?
-
Probably physical pain. Emotional pain is harder for me to deal with.
-
Physical pain, I can take some Vicodin until it passes.
-
I already have the physical pain, and the emotional pain has passed, so what is next?
-
I think emotional pain is worse...
-
Physical pain---no brainer!
-
Physical pain. You get numb to physical pain after a while.
-
Geeze I even hate to get a paper cut but I still will choose the physical pain....give me drugs.
-
Physical pain can go away, or be made momentarily better. Emotional pain is forever, and it's something I would never choose.
-
I deal better with physical pain, I guess I'm a bit of an emotional softy!
-
Physical. There's no pill for emotional pain.
-
Physical pain ... emotional pain hurts more .
-
I would rather suffer physical pain. Emotional pain is far worse than physical pain.
-
Physical pain is a cakewalk [to me] compared to emotional pain.
-
I have a high threshhold for pain - physical pain. Emotional pain can have long lasting and damaging effects.
-
Emotional, I can deal with. Physical pain could wreck my whole day. I consider stomach pains far worse than loneliness, or broken bones worse than a broken heart. A human being's capacity for emotional pain outweighs their capacity for physical pain.
-
Physical. The wounds heal quicker or are easier to deal with and live on. The scars are also less.
-
physical. emotional is wayyyyy harder to heal and deal with! :[
-
Mind and body are one! And... the bridge that connects them are our emotions or as I like to write it, our E-motions: Energy in motion! Mental, physical, E-motional... Mind, body, spirit... all the same thing. You can't experience one without the other. Tell me this, where do you feel E-motional pain? In your body, right?! Yep... Our issues are in our tissues! :) DC
-
There is a great pill for emotional pain. It is called LOVE. But I have a disease which has chronic terrible pain that no pain medicine has ever truly relieved. I will not die of this disease either. I am young and look forward to a long life. I guess pain can be a matter of perspective.
-
physical pain, i have a high threshold for pain, and my girlfriend just recently broke up with me and its killing me!
-
Actually I would rather have no pain at all but if I must I will take the physical, painkillers will dull that. Nothing dulls the emotional pain.
-
Uhmmmm, I'll go with physical pain.
-
Physical pain by far. Physical pain is just that: physical pain. But emotional pain is a hundred times worse. Emotional pain can actually cause physical pain as well.
-
i can take both.
-
I have no qualms giving either.
-
I find the physical pain easier to deal with.
-
physical pain. for sure.
-
physical pain, it heals faster
-
Physical pain. Both leave scars, but the emotional scars take longer to heal.
-
Physical... I can't stand emotional pain... It messes with my brain and then at the same time gives me physical pain!!
-
physical pain by far... ihave been through enough emotional pain and there is no cure for it..
-
Physical by far....been in both situations and the bruises fade a lot quicker.....:~{
-
Neither, but if I had to choose, I would choose physical pain without hesitation. +
-
physical...i've had enough of this other one.
-
I would prefer neither but if I had to choose one it would be physical..it's alot easier to handle than emotional pain is :)
-
It depends on the duration, really.. I would rather experience short physical pain (for example a broken bone which only hurts for some weeks max) than long-lasting emotional pain.. But if it was several years of constant physical pain or emotional.. Then it's a bit harder to choose.. I honestly can't say which I would prefer, both would be absolutely horrible
-
Physical pain. I usually engage in activities that result in physical pain (e.g., long, fast runs or bike rides; lifting weights) to get over emotional pain.
-
Emotional. I can talk to someone about my emotional hurt and that can dissuage it... Physical pain, not so much. Sure there are drugs out there to fix physical pain, but some are damaging in the long run.
-
I don't PREFER either, but if I had a choice, I'd pick emotional. I can deal with that, more. When physical pain affects me, I am mostly useless. But maybe this is because I go through pain every day of my life. And, to me, a pain level of 4 (of of ten) is normal.
-
I don't prefer either one. But if I had to choose, I guess it would be emotional. It's easier to think yourself through a solution.
-
Neither. But if I have to choose, it would be physical. I am somewhat used to it and can handle it easier.
-
physical
-
Physical, emotional pain makes you suffer
-
Physical pain. Some emotional pain lasts a lifetime.
