It would for sure cause emotional pain because you are disregarding and invalidating as well as ignoring yourself in a sense. They are a part of you and just like /you/ they have wants and needs too. Respecting them is respecting yourself in a way. So be good to your self ❤️

it wouldn't directly cause emotional/physical pain, but increased amnesia barriers and worse communication can easily lead to that

Likely you just will increase amnesia barriers, making blackouts more common and communication worse
