Hi. I am just curious about how you guys deal with disappointment or heartache. For instance, how would you deal if your significant other disappoints you? Or what would be the first thing you would do if you break up with your girlfriend/boyfriend or if they break up with you? Do share.

i think hearaches really are inevitable. when you love and give your heart out to someone else... even your family, you will really feel disappointment, and sometimes heartaches. When this comes, just accept the fact that you are human, you feel emotions, you might be angry, etc but i think it is just because you know you have felt that it could have been better, it could have been worked out but it did not turned out as planned. I guess, the best is for us to just to accept, try to learn from all these, and try to move on. charge everything to experience and make it better next time.

i agree. I think it's the acceptance part that's really challenging because it's always easier to get stuck denying things, right? But I think once you've taken the first step, then you're good to go.

In this life we are bound to be hurt and the reason could be anything. Life has provided us the best medicine to deal with such wounds, "Time". Yes, leave it on time and try to take steps forwards in your life. There are so many good things in this life, try a few of them and you will see things changing positively in your life. As the time passes, these wounds will automatically be healed but only if, you match your steps with time. Do not ever stop, try to always move ahead and time will reward you for that. Have you a great day, have fun, be happy (if you can not, read jokes) :) !!!

I agree. Time can heal all wounds. Some wounds take longer to heal though. Happy Mylotting! :)

The first thing I would do is cry.., That's my only way of releasing such a loss.., and after that.., the pain will be lessened yet it will still be there.. I will try to let go of that person.., for holding on will not do me any good but will only make it harder for me to move on.., I will divert my attention to other things and I will not try to reminisce of painful memories.., to ease the moving on process..=)

Crying does work wonders, right? I think I'd probably cry for the next couple of days and then I'd be back to normal the week after.
