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.
