Oh words definitely hurt, sometime more than a punch. The pain from a physical blow will fade, the words you hear NEVER go away, even if they apologize. You will always think of those words spoken to you and remember the hurt all of again, because it never left in the first place.
I am so totally there with you. I know this from experience. My son said to me the other day that I say things and do things that hurt him. I had no idea I said things that hurt him, whatsoever. I think it is time for mother and son time. He is hurting and I need to comfort him in whatever way he needs comfort. I know that people have hurt me a lot also, by what they say or HOW they say it. My heart is very sensitive to words, more sensitive than physical actions. I would rather my body take a beating by hands, rather than my heart take a beating by words. My son is the one that hurts me the most with his words, and I know he does not think before he speaks. He thinks about it after I am already privately in a room crying, for him to think about what he said and how he said it. This is something I think that everyone needs to work on. Sorry this comment is so long, I just wanted to get my point across.
That is so true! Words can scar you for life and its hard to even think to heal. But like Beverly Mathews said they will hurt if you let them. Specially if you have a low self esteem.
I agree with what you are saying because words do hurt if you let them.
