Physical or emotional pain is meant to make you pay attention. If you have a pain in your foot it's usefulness is to let you know that you need to attend to your foot which may be broken or bruised and needs to be bandaged.
When you have emotional pain it is also meant to make you pay attention. Are you hurt because you're oversensitive, unreasonable or have a lesson to learn? You have to attend to your psyche. If you deal with it you build resilience, if you avoid it you don't. The choice is certainly yours.
If you take care of your physical and mental health you are less likely to experience either type of pain.
