Do you think it's just as wrong to hurt another person's feelings as it is to hurt them physically? ​

Answer:

Yes, I believe hurting someone emotionally is just as bad as hurting someone physically. Physically hurting someone is obviously a bit worse, since you're actually hurting their body, but emotionally hurting someone can be almost as bad. Emotions can sometimes be very hard to overcome, and sometimes mental injuries can stay with a person for a long time. Of course, it doesn't really do damage to you, unlike physically hurting someone does, but it's still awful to toy with someone's emotions and make them feel bad. Plus, if you hurt someone bad enough emotionally, they could be left with depression or another mental illness, so it could generally have the same effect as hurting someone physically.

Answer:

Personally I think both are bad, emotionally can damage them and give them trust issues, things like that, but physically can cause trauma, like the condition D.I.D (dissociative identity disorder) That is when multiple personalities is caused by childhood trauma like abuse
