We concur wholeheartedly the correctness that hurting feelings is every bit as important as a material physical harm of some kind. This is because your emotional life, through the power of consciousness, exerts an influence on your being at multiple levels, and that can even include the soul itself. If you are subject to mental anguish and torment that is so damaging it changes your life in a significant way, and thus your destiny, that is a large consequence that might be difficult or impossible for someone to heal within themselves. What is left out in this description is the wrongdoing involved with harming oneself. The Law of Karma, the great leveler, will see that as an equal transgression as harming another. The reason is you, like everyone else, are a soul-based being. Anything that interferes with your soul journey is a significant harm and source of difficulty that can become quite severe. In actual fact, more people harm themselves than harm others and harm to the self can be done more readily, more severely with greater ease and a huger impact than you can harm other people who, at some point, will simply run away from you, and thus limit the potential damage, or fight back in some way to silence you. But if you are harming yourself, there is nowhere you can escape to because your perpetrator will go with you, and that is lifelong. So an attitude of self-denial, self-abnegation, will have many, many adverse effects and is the greatest source of liability preventing happy and successful lives. This is a soul transgression of the first order and will have a karmic consequence. People do not understand this, and that makes it an extra harsh penalty, because a lifetime of beating up on oneself may well set you up to repeat this, and compound the damage, or make you a diminished weakling who comes to harm from others carrying out that same function. The Law of Karma might use such a circumstance to accelerate the reliving of such karmic drama as a victim. This is why self-induced harm can be so very deadly and needs to be healed by recognizing it is not normal and is, in fact, an immoral act.
