Bruises heal but if you say something nasty to somebody who is sensitive/sensitive about whatever it is that you said, they can dwell on it and it can mess them up for ages because the mind can take longer to bounce back than the body.

For example, if you kick a girl in the butt every day for a wee the bruises will go away, but if you call her fat everyday she might go on to be anorexic or self conscious and it can really mess her up for ages.

It’s like with Post Traumatic Stress, the stress of an event can messes up your head long after your boy has healed, especially if there are things around you that remind you of the stress.

so yes, in my opinion words can hurt more that punches.

That quote is not true.

Not only is it my opinion, it is the truth.

words will always hurt more than punches…

punch makes us phisically ill….n can be cured easily…

bt a single word can destroy our mental peace….which is very very difficult to cure.
