The old saying " Words can never hurt me!"....

Anyone who ever said that words cannot hurt, never heard of the old saying that the pen is mightier than the sword, meaning that emotional pain caused by words can hurt more than physical pain. Clearly, I agree with you and if it weren't true then so many people would not need therapy.

you are right, words hurt worse than broken bones, because physical wounds can heal, emotional wounds sometimes never heal.

I don't care what the saying said because there some words that really hit home and I get so hurt that I don't even know why would anyone say something like that to me? But, I suppose it is different for everyone.

Yes.. Words can be very powerful... It can either hurt or uplift a person. It can inflict a person so much that it can cause great damage, more than one can ever imagine, and it really takes a long time to heal... Saying rude, humiliating words to a person can cause great damage on that person psychologically and emotionally. On the opposite side, good, encouraging words help a person to feel good about himself/herself, and do better on his/her ways..^_^ Words that tell Lies can ruin a relationship, words that tell compassion and love uplifts a person... Words are used to communicate, and it's a responsibility to use them properly..^_^

I agree with you totally! Words can hurt so bad! They can build up or tear down. My prayer is that I can watch my words and always use them to uplift others.

i agree words can really hurt. I tell my daughter just because your mind thinks it your mouth doesnt have to say it. It is very important to use words of praise and encouragement to people especially our children. Tell them when they please you compliment them on a job well done.

Yes they do hurt, but I've also learnt that it's good not to show your hurt by them because if you show your hurt it gives the other person the power and makes them happy because that's what they wanted is to hurt you then you show they've won and they're happy. The other week I got called immature by this girl who's training to be a counsellor on the course with me. I haven't let her show me it's hurt quite the opposite I told her I was proud to be called this as it showed that I was young.

That is true

The power of worlds can really influence peoples life in the good and bad way. As the phrase " mind your words" or "mind your language" which mean you may hurt or offended others if you did not watch out your words. Regardless it's a wriiten words or speaking words it has a huge impact in our life.
