What's the difference between psychological and physical? Don't you think
emotional pain is real? Should all threats be legal if they aren't literally
carried out?
What if the stranger convinced the one you cared about to hurt themselves
physically? (or in this case, let themselves die?) Is that physical or
psychological?

I find it hard to believe you think everything is so clearly black and white
when it clearly is not.
