Why do we hurt poeple emotionally?

Well hopefully the hurt was unintentional.  If it is intentional then this person has a serious problem.  We are human and we should want happiness for everyone, but sometimes we cannot provide that for everyone.  So what we need to do is keep ourselves happy, let others be happy and live a fullfilling life staying out of others business unless they ask us for advice or help.

Emotions are how we are able to appreciate life itself. The only drawback is that some people allow their emotions to control them. That's the first oppurtunity for evil to touch your heart. Instant gratification and self centeredness follows and the person or other people are hurt physically and emotionally and sins are commited.

Because they typically have issues about self-hatred or they have problems with a painful emotional life. Usually they are girls, and often they have problems at home or at school. When they can't "feel" emotional pain, they often try to "feel" the physical pain. The reasons are complex, but that's a simple answer.

Because we reap what we sow, and we deserve it........we need to learn those lessons the hard way because it makes us a stronger person later on and it builds character, it might teach you to be more responsible and teach you to think before you act the next time. Many reasons.

For many reasons. Sometimes for revenge, sometimes for spite. Sometimes by accident, and sometimes it can't be helped. (for instance, in a breakup) \n\nSome people hurt others for the pure pleasure of it. It gives them a feeling of power. \n\nThere are many people, though, who truly try not to hurt others.

When you hurt the one that you love, emotions are highly involved on both sides.  Both you and the person you are hurting will be affected in one way or another, and like all similar situations, there will be serious consequences to follow.  When dealing with a stranger, however, there is no history and/or very little (if any) emotions involved at all.  Sure you may insult a stranger in one situation, and anger may ensue on one or both sides because of your actions.  Nevertheless, for the most part, they will not carry that with them for the rest of their life (and perhaps not even the rest of the day for that matter).

Fair enough question. Cause we aren't perfect and despite good motives we get things wrong. I am sorry if we bruised you unfortunately we do get thing wrong sometimes.

Absolutely, its a hormone/chemical thing like most living things experience. What seperates us though is our ability to reason and think through the consequences of our actions to avoid hurting not only others but ourselves.

Most ppl cut to redirect their attention to a pain that is perceived as less than what is really troubling them.  #1 reason is that they have been abused (usually sexually).  Without proper therapy things will worsen!!

If you've often been hurt, its automatic.  You have to make a conscious effort not to react in that manner.  It takes time.  I am like that.  \n\nI still snap at my husband at times, and he feels hurt, and I didn't even mean anything by it, and I didn't realize I was harsh till a few minutes later.  \n\nYou gotta decide to be kinder to some people and know who you can trust...and be patient!

those aren't learned behaviors for the most part so we are just programmed that way.\n\nthe reason we do these actions are to express the way we feel on the inside to others.

Unfortunately that's part of life.... we've hurt people we can't apologize to, or we can't FIX a bad situation, and we are forced to live with the regret.\n\nIf you can, hire a PI as suggested by Steffy above.  The PI can probably find him.

Anyone that tells you that love doesn’t hurt has never been truly in love.\n\nLove hurts even when everything is going good.  Even when you’re right there with them or there just in the next room and you just think of them it hurts deep in side but this is a good kind of hurt because you’re connected to that person.\n\nLove hurts especially when things aren’t going well.  I guess because when we open up and become vulnerable to that person we also open ourselves to being hurt.  When we really love someone we are connected to them and when they hurt we hurt but when they hurt us it hurts all the more.\n\nLove can really suck sometimes but stick with it there are always ups and downs to love.

I don't understand why.  I hate hurting someone's feelings.  It's a horrible feeling, ya know?

Anger comes from hurt...

Yeah. When you've been hurt so badly, you block out every emotion except pain and sadness. You don't necessarily physically hurt; but the emotional pain is unbearable. It doesn't last forever though. Talk to a counselor or a close friend/relative. Sorry honey!!!! P.S. Right category.
