Emotional Pain

We feel emotional pain when we do not get what we want, need, or expect. We might feel hurt, rejection, bitterness, abuse, injustice or simply emotional pain.
In such cases, we have not received the behavior or outcomes we expected or believed we deserved.
We feel this kind of feel pain in cases when * people * do not behave to us in the ways that we had expected as well as in situations where * life * does not give us what we feel we need or deserve.
We believe, "I cannot feel happy unless I get that which I believe I need."

We have associated our security, satisfaction, self-worth or freedom with something that we are not getting from persons, society, God, or life as a whole.
*We loose a loved one.
*Our loved one shows preference to another.
* People important to us do not show us the respect we expect.
*Others do harm to us or our loved ones.
*"Friends" gossip about us behind our backs.
*We are not given the raise of promotion we believe we deserve at work.
