Using self improvement as a solution for pain?

Self improvement has many benefits. I'm sure it helps with emotional pain too.

Also the drive to make yourself better so that you can't get pushed around/ belittiled is a great motivator. Harness that energy.

Good luck dude. Now go get to it. Gym. Sidebar. Library. Go.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with harnessing your emotions to better yourself. It's INFINITELY better than getting into depression and cutting yourself or eating yourself to death.

Once you're at a certain "level" it won't become "you won't be able to hurt me anymore" it'll be... "only I can hurt me."

Enjoy the journey.

I think your thinking too deep into it, but i get what you're saying. I use distraction for pain. But whatever works for you, man.

Plus you can get more used to the pain and it stops bothering you so much. You get thicker skin because of it.

Like this quote from Rocky: "It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward"

Anger is a great motivator, just don’t let it become rage.
