I'm wondering if there's something I forgot? It's been a while since I read the books. I remember Will as a calm, compassionate, emotionally balanced person from a stable, happy, loving family. He wasn't picked on at school, no one close to him had died, and he had the use of all his limbs. He went through all sorts of terror, but seemed perfectly well equipped for it; he even relished it at times. His world was always improvable--he never knew the fundamental crushing despair that afflicted the king who made the crystal sword.
I could see him getting lonely because of all the things he knows, but since he didn't seem overly distressed by it in the books, I would hesitate to call it a wound. If he brooded and obsessed and harped on it (which is really not the sort of thing he would do), I could see it turning into a sort of emotional ulcer. But he's very adaptable and well-integrated into "mundane" life.

Bran, on the other hand, has plenty and to spare.
