I'd like to know how differant people react to having their heart broken. (like, by a boyfriend/girlfriend) Do you cry? Do you Ignore it? What do you do?


I did a search to see if they're any threads on this, and it came up empty... so if there is a thread like this one already, it's not my fault...

Accept it and try to move on. Know that what happened couldn't have happened any other way, oh and the biggest thing. Don't try to fix it, even if you do fix it, second trys never work, ever. Also, if you are trying to get over the person, whenever you find yourself thinking about him/her, try to think about their faults and flaws, then realize you are better off without him/her. It'll take a while for you to start being interested in other guys/girls, I have just started to and its been three months since I got dumped.

I'm sad for like, a day. Then I get over it and move on.


It's true. There's just no sense in lingering about on something thats been done.

Personally I think, you should remove the person from your life.That means no hello's no short conversations no nothing.Because no matter how much people lie about it:the feelings for someone you love will always return,especially if you remain in even the slightest contact with the person.You should pretend they don't exit in the cotext of your life.And after awhile...they won't

I guess I'm your exception then, I'm still in great contact with my Ex, we have plenty conversations, while we ended on bad terms, we have come together to atleast be on agreeable terms. Now of course, I don't even want to ever be more than just friends with her again, because while before I loved her because of the way she was, now I've grown to hate it. But I don't really want to always be constantly fighting and in a bitchy war with her so I've learned to have a normal conversation with her free of flirting or arguements.

Eh... Well... I still don't know if I have a heart, but... some of my friends are sad for just a few days, after that, some of them ignore their EX, others try to be with them again... others, just keep living their life. I guess that the best thing you could do is to forget the past and look for someone else.

I'd say drink, a lot. Not that its a situation I'll ever end up in as I dont feel that way anymore, I found it to be a large distraction.

Meh, drinking away someone works for the first few times, but then it just gets depressing.

And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All I was then
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on

just sit around and mope until i think "stuff this, im bored and want haribo and alcohol"

works well for me :) you cant expect yourself not to mope for at least 2-3 days

dude, ill tell you plain and simple: LUV ISNT TRUE, ITS JUST SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE DO !! XD

Well, I just think about them a little but look forward too. I still have slight feelings for them but not as much as before and I don't bother myself. Eventually, I learned that they would have been bad choices anyway. So I'm okay. Occasionally I'll spend a day or two missing them ,but that's only been for the people I lost touch with, not someone who broke my heart. =/ It wasn't heart-break, though.

I've never been in such a situation, as cold-blooded and heartless as that might sound. I suppose the best thing to do is try your hardest to move on, but I think it's important not to become denial or bitter, so remember to keep a little part of your old girlfriend/boyfriend in the back of your mind.

When my previous girlfriend dumped me for someone else I just got very very mad. For a few months. Actually, I still hate her guts and I wouldn't mind her getting all kinds of nasty diseases. Well, she totally screwed me over so if she got AIDS or cancer I'd laugh in her face if she'd ever tell me.

You just think a lot. Your life, what should you do after this, think about what you did wrong

Live on, just don't lose the experience you gained. It's always for the best - you become a more better and mature person after

life is short... play hard... basically it's a move on thing

-.- how can you possibly think life is short, what can you ever do that is longer?

ONTOPIC: i've never had my heart broken yet, but i'm thinking i would first try to understand the reason and then let time deal with it. "time heals all wounds"

When I feel sad and low, I always take my violin and play my heart out.

Be dead.

broken = shattered = superglue xD

superglue fixes everything
superglue your heart together or your girlfriend xD

With me it depend of the relationship. I may be sad for a day, or a week. Or i may not be sad at all. But when I am I just listen to music, and try to think of something else. But I just usualy listen to music, which may not be the best thing to do, but meh I do. And hang out with friends. All I can say is do something fun. And try not to think about that person, or come in contact with that person.

When I am in a deep state of depression I play my trumpet. Sometimes I call my friends to talk about whats on my heart.

I think it was Da Vinci who said that the cure for depression is a new passion.

cry it out, eat some ice cream, go work out.

Find a friend or anyone you could talk to, let the comfort you, and know that even if it hurts now, one day somone or something will heal it for you wheather it's time or your special someone~ ;)

wise. I like :D

super glue it!

Please don't make posts like that in the general discussion, but keep them to the every day chatter.

How can you know what's going to happen to you tomorrow? It's only as long as your life, and it can end any time.

how can i possibly think that life is short? well it's simple really.. does these pharses sound familar? "Has it been that long?"

what can i do that is longer? ironically live everyday as if it was your last

so when you regret, regret in the things that you didn't do instead of the things that you did... i believe if you did your best you'll have no regrets.. so in short if your heart is broken then proably that's regret

I cry a lot on the first day. Then I try to hang out with friends more often and keep myself busy. The most important thing for me is to throw out everything that my ex gave me.

throw as in the trash? why don't you sell it?

Could actually make that a business if you have lots of exes XD

i ignored it. (after drinking the sh*t out of myself *coughunderagecough* and being depressed or a couple years, working over my feelings) it went away.

what sucks is the running-into done in the hallways at school. if i didnt see her once a day mabe school woulndt suck as much.

Wow, that makes you sound like a great guy. XD

In regards to the original question:

I sleep a lot, and call the girl a bitch a million times in my mind. :heh:
Then I focus my anger onto something productive, like art or whatever. :3

honestly, my heart has never been broken before but I would imagine it to be very painful for me...sleepless nights, dreams, memories.

youre lucky. whoever said "better to have loved and lost then to have never loved" never got his heart torn out.

i might seem contratictory, but if i had the choice to go back and go through it all over again, id do it, even if nothing more would be possible.

To me you just have to realize that you are your own person. If there are any holes that need to be filled inside it's up to you to fill them and not someone else. When you realize this, then you're ready again. (well at least for me.... I could see this not working for some people.)

im all patched up already, whats ur point? am i not allowed to talk about an done-and-gone previous experience?

im merely stating my opinion, ignore it if you want to, lol

Hmm, well i have only gone out once, it was for pretty long, so we were kinda close, then we both realised that it wasn't "right" so we broke it off, but remianed good friends, some could argue that we never really truly "dated" in the first place lol, i liked to think of it as a "bird in a golden cage" since, no matter how nice it is externally, it dosen;t change the fact it is a cage and ultimately binds you and restricts your life as such.
however, that wasn;t really on topic but what i would like to say is that have some time to cry, get over it, eat some ice cream, then talk to friends, since they all care about you (they should anyway) and like, try to go out and release your mind from the world, (i have two escapes, fantasy books that last for like forever or playing the piano) and just gradually forget about it., but remeber the experience, i mean, sure it is over, but like, you DID have a good time with that person and you DID have happy and special momenets together, i mean, the world is not going to end becasue you breaking up, but rather, just treat is as another turn in your life.
