Why do I have a gut-wrenching feeling down my stomach after a friend told me something I disagree with, not physically, but emotionally?

Your mind and body are connected by your sympathetic nervous system. When you take in information that may be challenging to your sense of security, it's not uncommon to feel a physical sensation of pain in your stomach. This "churning" is a fear-based reaction. Your body and mind are trying to tell you to protect yourself from any further "emotional" pain. Maybe your idea of your own self worth changed by how you perceived your friend from before to after they told you this thing you disagree with. If that's the case, your own friendship with them probably changed in that moment and you were not prepared fully for that change.

I have gone through that too. It's always hard to go against group thinking and it takes a lot of bravery to voice your opinions to your friends. This was bravery and confidence that I didn't have. Eventually, I think I just snapped. I couldn't stand my silence so I told them what I felt and they continued to disagree so I cut them off. It was hard to do that, but I'm happier now. I won't lie - I was lonely for a while but I learnt a lot of things about myself in that time and eventually, I found friends who agreed with me and respected my opinions.

I cannot say why you felt a gut-wrenching feeling. It's easy for me to feel this when a value doesn't match with who I want to spend time with, at least or me. In such cases I try to remember that the person is human. If it is an issue that is important to me then I may decide to no longer spend time with them on it. Perhaps in my case, the person wasn't aware that there is an issue. In those cases, I would sometimes ask them questions about the issue such as why they believe what they're saying. Have they considered an alternative perspective? What if they considered walking in someone else shoes? Alternatively, sometimes I ask myself why do I feel bothered? If I feel a strong conviction personally, I may decide to provide some distance.

Maybe because thats your friend and you were hoping that your friend would understand and share the same opinion as u do,

That feeling is a head feeling to place. you may feel disappointed or stressed or let down. you feel that they have to agree with you.

This is not unusual! Our bodies react to our circumstances, even if they are the most intellectual discussions that are abstract - they can still cause a physical reaction. I always make a point to notice how I'm feeling in my body in reaction to something, and keeping that in mind can help me sort through complicated things.

actually our body translates our mental stress into physical symptom and thats why we feel a pain its not dangerous but bothering

It sounds like something has been really difficult or painful to hear. Maybe this is because it reminds you of something in your life or maybe goes against a value or belief that you hold. However if this reaction is so strong, maybe you'd find it helpful to discuss it with someone at 7 Cups?

It may hurt or upset you that a friend told you something you strongly disbelief in and even though everyone thinks differently, sometimes decisions people we love make can be heart wrenching.

It's a reaction our body has when we might not feel good or right about something. She might have said something that upset you and it's totally normal to have a physical or emotional response to that.
