Social pain and physical pain seem to be strongly linked.
I’ve been offended once or twice in my life. It wasn’t painful. It caused anger. I wouldn’t call offense pleasant, but I would call it satisfying, to a certain degree. Pain generally isn’t. Mental pain and physical pain may be related, but I don’t think most offense (particularly of the generalized variety) is properly analogized.
