Who didn't experience heartbreak?

My sister broke up with her long time boyfriend of seven years and she was a wreck. For the first few weeks, social media was her outlet. Posting stuff which intentionally (or not) pointed out her being jilted.
I advised her against doing so. A heated conversation climaxed when I told her pointblank that the world doesn't care about her heartache. At all. Instead she just made herself a laughingstock. She cried buckets and I offered her a virtual hug.
I did experience heartbreak. Many times. And I was even more pathetic than my sister. But of course I won't tell her that. I just wish that she will come out of this tragedy in one piece.

Heart broken, frustrations, disappointments... people nowadays chose social media to air out their pain. What happened to serious girl talks with girlfriends?

bless her heart, i feel fer her. 7 years's a long time to've invested'n a relationship. i hope she realizes once the smoke clears that she's better off. noperz, facebook 'n all other social media aint the place to air that dirty laundry.
love the pic! makes't nice to know that some're still happy 'n takin' those picnics together'n the park'n their 'well-seasoned' years.

Many reasons l do not care about Facebook.People going there to announce their sadness/happiness.Come on, no one cares,people have their issues to deal with,they dont go crying in facebook.
Im NOT active privately on facebook and don't care about it, but l do go look from outside (like looking from a window outside in)to see what people are talking about.Saw my sister`s message that her husband is having an affair and i thought *grow up no one gives a hoot.
Another time l saw my cousin just broke up with her boyfriend, she kept going on and on about it and l thought what a sad lonely world we are living in,what happened to sharing your heartache with a friend who cares.

FB is her way of dealing with it. We all handle heartbreak differently. Maybe she needs for her family and friends to help her through it. She is hurt and reaching out. She will be fine. It just takes times. Seven years is a long time to just get over.

Everyone feels heart ache or a broken heart in live. This is not something that can be escaped.

It could really break her heart because they had been in a relationship for 7 years! Yes, you are right when you advised her not to post about it in social media. There's lots of trolls there!

Oh, your poor sister. Seven years is a long time. I agree though, social media is not the best outlet. She would be better off just pouring things out in private emails and phone calls to her closest friends. Facebook is just one big audience and the best thing you can do for yourself is put on a dignified face and not let them all see how you're hurting, because it only invites gossip and rumor-spreading and people taking sides, which often turns ugly and makes an already tough situation worse. I hope in time she will feel stronger.

That's good that you have told her that . Sometimes , we have to give one a lashing or a reprimand so they can wake up from their being in that sad state .
I hope by now , she has already gotten over that failed relationship . Sometimes what is best is for us to think of the things that that somebody has done badly at us , so we will get angry and come out from it instead .
You still look good in the picture , even if your face is just the other half .

It is really hurtful at first but time will come that it will heal her wounds brought by heartbreak.
