Physical vs Emotional Needs

If I am cold, you may not agree with me – you may not feel cold – but you would probably not disregard the fact that I am cold. You may adjust the temperature or offer me a sweater. I could pray for warmer temperatures, but would be wise to put on warmer clothes, turn up the heat or seek a warmer location. The environment is altered to meet my need.
If am hot, you may not agree with me – you may not feel hot – but you would probably not disregard the fact that I am hot. I could pray for cooler temperatures, but would be wise to wear lighter clothes, check for a fever, turn on a fan, or seek air conditioning. The environment is altered to meet my need.
If we have dry skin, we put on skin lotion or something to ease the discomfort. You may even offer me your Jergen's or Vaseline.
With nearly any physical discomfort, we take an action to alleviate it; often altering our circumstances to meet the need. And, friends and others are likely to assist without hesitation.
But, If someone has a longing for companionship, is experiencing an extended period of sadness, lack of connection and belonging, heartbreak etc. … it is disregarded. We are often told “get over it”, or fill the hole within us with God, pray, or focus/meditate on the pain until it goes away. Why do we disregard emotional discomfort/needs rather than treat them as compassionately, equally important as physical needs?

1. Because you live in a culture that tries to solve emotional problems with God...
2. Because emotional needs are much more diffuse, harder to recognize, harder to communicate and harder to solve. Most people are just overwhelmed and have little insight into their own emotional needs, thus feeling irritated when other ask for "emotional help".
3. Because you live in a culture that tries to solve emotional problems with God...
4. Because you live (most likely) in a culture that defines emotions as sign of weakness and others prey on it (could be related to 1. and 3. though).

Basically that's it.
