You become emotionally hurt when a person uses passive aggressive techniques, by not responding to you directly or actively engaging with you or by building a cold wall of indifference, and when others don't let their emotions flow.

You become emotionally hurt when somebody doesn't listen to you, doesn't understand you, doesn't accept your wit and humor and doesn't value your intellect. Especially, you are hurt when others don’t allow you to sort out your issues through words.
