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

Do you think it could cause psychical pain or emotional pain?

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

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 ❤️
