I Am No Stranger to Rejection

Feeling different is not much different than actual pain. Studies from MRI scans have shown that the same areas of the brain that respond to physical pain also react to being hurt by rejection. As far as your brain is concerned, a broken heart is no different from a broken arm.

Although in experience, a broken arm is quicker and easier to heal.

well you feel the pain somewhere obviously else love and rejection wouldn't hurt so much and people would be able to deal with it better, and the neurons in your head that tells you that a certain part of your body is hurting are in the same area as those that tell you that your feeling emotional pain from rejection.

Your mind is the key to pain.
Know when you mull over what was done to you, then you perpetuate that pain. We all get rejected in life, it is the time that we give to this rejection that makes the difference. (Poor Me)
Leave the past in the past where it belongs.

The human brain itself doesn't feel any type of pain, as it has no pain receptors.
