Thank you for teaching me so kindly

Daily expressions...not too sure on them, as I don't use or hear torment being used on a daily basis. You hear the word more in stories with jealous villains or some surging emotion in a character.

A: Both refer to causing a person pain or discomfort. While torment can refer to both mental suffering and physical pain, it is more commonly used when referring to something that is more mental than physical. Like a younger brother might torment his older sister by constantly making loud noises. But when it comes to physical pain, torment would usually be used to describe something that was not inflicted by another person, such as being tormented by bad memories or severe headaches. Torture generally refers to a person causing physical pain to another person, such as when an interrogator tortures a prisoner to try to get information out of them.

The two words could be used interchangeably. They more or less mean the same thing. But in actual practice torture tends to refer to a person causing physical pain to another person, and torment has a broader meaning that often doesn't relate to physical pain.

A: Torture is similar but tends to refer to physical pain to force an enemy captive to talk.
Torment is physical or mental suffering

A: “Torment” is when emotional or mental pain is inflicted on another (using words, threats, etc), while “torture” is when physical pain is inflicted on another, but torture can ALSO be emotional or mental. Overall, torture is MORE severe than torment.

Examples:
“The bully torments the boy with insults.”
“The man tortures his victims before killing them.”

A: thank you! it makes sense now :)

A: ummmmmmmmm so torture doesnt necessarily have to be something physical!?

A: Q). If I say: I torment myself when I didn't do it well.
Is it equal to: I blame myself for not having done well"

"Q). If I say: I torment myself when I didn't do it well."
You are bullying yourself over and over again, using "torment" whereas "blame" is like. "Aw man I really shouldn't have done that" you're friend replies quickly "OH don't blame yourself come on lets go!"
Where it may get confusing is if you're watching TV and someone is sulking in there room for days or weeks. There mother might say "he blamed himself ever since she was murdered" but really what he's going through is "torment". But the outside world can't usually see "torment" it's more a personal experience though they very well could. But they would typically say "blame himself / herself" there are more extreme examples below hope this helped you. Kira_hello

OTHER:
"Torment" is a dark word that hits quite deep; "Torment" is like negative self-talk and it's twirling around you, dark and threatening.
"Blame" in itself can be quite light hearted in comparison
example: "Don't blame yourself you couldn't have changed his mind (crying noise)."
THEN after is where the "torment" and dark thoughts start to unleash themselves.
Example: "He torments himself everyday for what happened to her; he doesn't leave his room anymore!"
Somewhat confusing I know and some extreme examples, but I hope you can see the difference.
