That's like saying "why do you need 'cerulean' when you have 'blue'"...

Beh ? Since when?
Easiest example I can think of is love for family. Or maybe God's love for
sinners.

The long dark tea-time of the soul hits me about 4 am Sunday morning...

The English word is "primigravida" (a woman that is pregnant for the first
time).

I think the intended use is more along the lines of "I know it doesn't matter to
you, but this is something I have to do"... You probably wouldn't say the first
case, although the second case might occur.

The culprit is the one whose fault it is.

I think "scapegoat" has the added implication that the person didn't do what
they're being blamed for.

Sounds like most of mine.

Hmm, "denial" here means to believe or claim something true is not true, as
either a coping mechanism or a response to accusation.
Probably closer would be "avoid" though that can refer to mental or physical
things.

That seems more like the suppresion of pain? (or feeling entirely, for
anaesthesia)... and I dont think either would apply to mental pain.

No, because I think one can manage to be competent, while still unable to
interact properly with others...
