    I'm going for emotional pain. Sometimes if I'm emotionally unhappy for a long while I usually end up getting physical pain, too. I get a feeling in my stomach that soon turns to pain and pains in my chest. It's weird!

    Physical for me. I can handle emotional pain, I have been dished a handful of both and physical was always hard for me.

    Yes, but pointing that out is kind of useless as everyone knows that emotions are a thing of the mind. Few people understand the concept of physical pain being a state of mind.

    You're comparing apples with oranges. Try being shot in the head and having lifetime injuries where you're mentally retarded for the rest of your life.

    I say physical. Maybe it's just a state of mind too, but I think emotional pain is easier to conquer (if you really put your mind to it) than physical pain. Emotional pain can stem from so many things; misconceptions, perceptions, y'know? There's something so concrete and definite about certain types of physical pain. Like if I chopped my finger off. (yay scenario!!)
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    Most physical pain can heal, but most emotional cant.. Trust me ive tried... *sigh*...
    Emotional pain can't be healed? What the heck are you on about?

    Yep, that, and what Resha said.

    edit: Oh yeah, and physical pain can leave ugly scars, while emotional pain leaves 'scars' that aren't visible to anyone.~

    You can't run from emotional pain. Emotional pain, for me actually leads to physical pain too. So, I'd say emotional is worse.

    Emotional is worse in terms of its severity and nature, but also by the fact that it has a myriad of methods of arrival. Physical pain can only be instigated via the obvious concrete touch of another entity (or in extreme cases, triggered by emotional instability), whereas emotional pains can be initiated by countless, many relative, conditions. The fact that so many emotional pains are relative to the sufferer is an aspect that makes treating the pain so very difficult.

    And with a commanding and trained mind, one can easily overcome the agitation caused by physical pain. Emotional pains are a more difficult process, and one only a few can actually harness.

    A bone may mend, but a soul may ever be lost.

    It would be easier to recover from that, than be mentally retarded for the rest of your life, it ruins your life, and you cant do anything about it. You can recover more with losing your best friend.

    I'm the exact opposite. I always totally ignore any physical pain unless it's gonna do me serious damage, whereas I find emotional pain is like trying to run away from your shadow in a sunny field.

    Exactly. And you're lucky you didn't die.

    You can't die from emotional, however, you can die from physical.

    Emotional pains can result in suicide. Which is, most assuredly, a form of death.

    Heres one way to put it.

    If your friend or a member of your family dies, its sad but it passes on. It you get your leg cut off accidentally by snapped razor wire or something you will never walk again! But then again, the pysical pain will wear off (if he/she survives for long enough) and you're left with the emotional pain of never walking again. So its a difficult one to answer. I don't have an answer actually. Well, whatever.
