Welcome to Gaia! ::

lmao hilarious. But ive kind of felt that way except for the whol.. chest area thing. thats the part that's missing the most.

Become a cynical b*****d like me. It makes everyone oh-so much easier to get over.

biggrin I'd say heartbroken is the feeling that your going to die and you want to commit suicide, but you know you might be missed by them and family and friends...blah.
I have been broken up with by phone, by me now again boyfriend David, the first time he broke up with me, I cried for a week, which I really don't see why because it was a middle-school relationship. XD Anyway...I think that the worst way to break up with someone is to have them break up with you in front of everyone you are friends with....that seriously sucks. I'm droning again! I'll be quiet now. smile

Yes, I know it does... I've only been in love once, and suddenly I wish I hadn't... Love is a b***h and very rarely is anyone spared it's pain... I wish I still didn't care about the person I loved... I hate seeing her... I never want to love again....

heartbroken- a daily thing for me crying

It is the equavalent to losing half of your self. The happy part. It feels like it never can go away. Eventually, it does for the most part, but it leaves scars. Many scars make you turn tough, cold and an a** like many people I know (no insult). I've had the horrible luck to have it happen once...I'm finally over it, after nearly 6 months. Still, I've changed severly ecause of it. You lose your navite, little by little I guess.

It's when you've just gotten dumped by your boyfriend with whom you're in such deep love that you thought it would last forever (even though you always knew that thought was naive) and you would've done anything for him. Anything. And you meant that. It especially hurts if it's 2 months later and you still mean it. Then, if you're anything like me, you go numb after a while. You stop sobbing and the tears just fall effortlessly. Then again, as The Magnetic Fields sang, "If you don't cry, it isn't love. If you don't cry, then you just don't feel it deep enough."
It sort of feels like you have lead inside your heart, weighing it down and poisoning you. All of your muscles loosen up, and you stop caring how you look. You're relatively aware that you have developed very poor posture and that you can barely remember the last time you smiled. But you're too busy torturing yourself with thoughts of every last thing you ever did wrong with him, and how you messed up the only good thing in your life, to care about that. Even if he really wasn't the only good thing in your life, it just seems that way.
Every time you see a couple, you want to cry. Eventually this passes, and you continue to the phase where every time you see a couple, you just laugh cynically to yourself because you know it'll end. It always does.
After what seems like an eternity, the crying and terrible thoughts become less frequent and you learn to live with yourself again. It's still hard to sleep, though. You start looking at guys (and girls, in my case) the same way you used to. But you wouldn't date any of them. Why? Because you don't want some worthless short-term thing, but you never EVER want to risk heartbreak again. So you plan to have 1-month relationships with guys/girls you deem worthy, and if you get the feeling it won't last, you decide you'll dump them.
You're pretty sure your standards are now too high, and you'll go through life immersing yourself in your studies and eventually, your high-paying career. You'll end up an old crone with at least 25 cats, 20 of whom will either run away or die.
But if you're me, you're willing to go through that, because luckily, you believe in reincarnation. You have the next life for love. A fresh start. *crosses fingers* Just 60 more years, maybe you can cut it down to 50 if you start smoking now... ok, you don't really think that, you're still just cynical xp

Well, at least, that's my experience mrgreen

Heartbroken means to me that someone you loved has left with no reason, or a not good one. The worst way someone could break up with me is writing a letter filled with lies. cry crying sad
