Emotional.Physical pains can be endured and healed.But emotional pain is hard to endure and can end up permanent or even evolve into trauma.

Considering some people actually LIKE physical pain. I don't think you're likely going to find someone sane who's looking to be torn apart emotionally.

Emotional pain.Physical pain doesn't last long....trust me I know

Having experienced an abnormally large amount of both kinds of pain in my life I would have to say emotional pain is worse. Physical pain is temporary where as emotional pain you will carry around with you your entire life and the pain doesn't get that much better as time passes. You can still experience the same amount of pain that you felt the day the emotional pain happened.

Well they both hurt alot but I'd say emotional, from a recent experience that's had me down for a while. The pain of a cut or something is quick and over with but when you can't get over something that last a long time and there's nothing you can do to treat it.

people will inevitably suffer ; pain, however, is optional.
i'm not certain as to why one would subject themselves to said pain while it can be avoided; both must hurt a hell of a lot, but it matters not to myself; so staying on topic, i would say "emotional pain" just because.

Gotta go with emotional pain that takes alot longer to get over then physical pain. and really emotional wounds never really heal, so in a way you never really get over it because it will always be in the back of your mind and deep in your hearts. and emotion pain can hurt way deeper them physical pain. physical pain can't get to your soul.

Emotional pain is more traumatizing and has longer lasting effects. Physical pain can be easily get over.

I really think emotional pain hurts a lot more..because a physical wound can heal but a wounded heart takes a lot more time, not tomention it never trully heals cause you'll always be wondering what if...I really think there's a good quote for this:"You never really truly stop loving somebody. You just learn to live without them."

To me, they both hurt, but if i really had to choose one or the other....i'd say emotional pain.....

emotional pain could affected in ur future if u had it!

emotional hurts more if its heavy.. but to be honest physical pain can hurt if its heavy too.. i mean imagine getting your leg chopped off lol..... i think that would be more painful than anything...atleast for the moment

Emotional pain,it could hurt more than physical...sometimes the pain is so severe that you don't mind dying..

More food for thought: Emotional pain can be cured if you put your will towards it. Yes, it's my belief that any emotional pain can be overcome eventually. (The only caveat being if someone suffers from some mental/chemical imbalance that affects your mental health.) Some of you mentioned breaking up with someone, and if that's the worst you've ever gone through -- especially if you're still teenagers -- then you've gotten off pretty damn lucky.

Of course, there are certain things that aren't necessarily painful, but has harmful causes. Paranoia for something common and unaviodable (open spaces, etc.) or... say, living in a society where law and order is an alien concept, thus living in fear of being murdered, tortured, raped... no specific and measurable pain, but not exactly something that makes you feel good about life either.

And let me again remind you about people who suffer from cronic and (currently) incurable pains from accidents of various sorts. I don't think having broken up with someone in their teens is going to be much of a distraction when the pain keeps you up at night, right up to the point where you'll only get some semblance of sleep if you medicate yourself to kingdom come. Sure, a physical wound may HEAL, but that doesn't mean the pain goes away.

I think hurts can not compare,different hurts have different
defaults,because it is not only actually thing but also personal
idea,so every kind of hurt is bad .It is the importent things that people should take care each other.

"Pain is weakness leaving the body." Who cares which hurts more.

physical. maybe because i never really had any emotional pain or whatever.

Emotional pain hurts much much longer than physical pain. But some physical pains can not be healed and you might suffer much more than someone with emotional pain..

Definitely emotional.
When you have a physical pain or scar, it goes away right? But that's different when it comes to emotion scars or pain. They don't go away when you take pain killer and put a bandage on, they stick to you and who knows when it will heal. They don't go away naturally, it takes A LOT of time (depending on what kind of thing your going through). But all in all, emotional pain don't go away like physical so it obviously hurts more.

Phsyical pain will hurt really bad, but it usually go away after a while. But emotional pain, it can stay forever if you let it.

Emotional...

Even in physical pain, when it goes away, sometimes you feel like it's there, but it's just your mind making a ghost out of it. That shows how unconsiousness can cause pain even like that, not only emotional.

Absolutely without a doubt emotional pain. I don't cry much at physical pain, but at emotional pain I can cry for once. As in once I literally cried nonstop for four hours, didn't move from one spot. Yeah that was bad. Anyway, even if I don't take painkillers, it's possible to mask physical pain. Can't do that with emotional wounds. Can't cover it up, can't pretend like it's not there.

Emotional pain hurts so much more and for a longer time period as well. For the physical pain you can take a few pain killers and then sleep it away but emotional....blah! Aint no medicine for that pain

i think emotional pain will be more hurt!^^physical pain will recover soon,but the emotional pain will not be so easy recover,although it recover i think it also will got scar in the heart.^^
