Answers: If the source of the pain if your brain's perception, regardless of the stimulus being internal or external, what percentage of your emotional pain is self-inflicted?
100%
No person can hurt you emotionally unless you allow them. Even in cases where it isn't the intention of others to cause you emotional harm - all harm comes from the individual's reaction to the internal and external stimuli. It is this reaction that is the point of infliction.
That's difficult to say.
People can do **** to you, but your reaction to it is 100% purely you.
Your emotions are all YOU.
100%+++
The thing that you need to understand is that other people cannot inflict emotional pain on another person. All emotion comes from the inside.
