What’s the difference between being hurt vs being heartbroken?

Question

Well I assume you're referring to relationships? And if so well

hurt is like a paper cut... Hurt is a forgotten birthday, hurt is not remembering an anniversary, hurt is like choosing to hang out with the girls or the boys instead of your SO. And by those I mean it's like disappointment, a brief moment of sadness, feeling like your partner could've done better or handled the situation better.

Now Heartbreak... is like being crush by a semi truck and you're in a smartcar. Being caught in an avalanche of snow, being stabbed in the gut. It's a pain that feels like DEVASTATION. you feel powerless to overcome it, you feel like it will never go away, you feel like the world doesn't care and nothing matters. You want answers and have 1000 questions that rattle you every second. Heartbreak is feeling BROKEN.

Well I can definitely answer this from experience. I've been hurt many times. Usually the hurt centers around some kind of rejection. The one time that I was truly truly heartbroken well that was not just hurt that was pain that lasted a long time and had never really had gone away. Heartbroken for me is when I truly loved someone and invested everything into that relationship and then the relationship ends.

To me personally, being hurt means the pain is short-term. It doesn't last long and it isn't persistent.

But being heartbroken means the emotional pain consumes you. The pain is persistent and lasts long-term. It's difficult to let go and move on. Whereas feeling hurt doesn't stop you from living your life, and moving forward with your life.

Hurt to me is a small rejection or small slight. Heartbreak is an all consuming pain that comes from losing someone or something that you can't replace permanently. You feel like your world and that you are on fire, and you can't do anything to put it out.

what kind of hurt? because heartbreak is literally the worst pain i have ever felt in my entire life

davrok · Answer

hurt is one thing, being heartbroken is a whole other world of seemingly never ending excruciating pain, felt in your heart, mind, spirit, body... i was utterly heartbroken when the one and only true love of my life rejected me back when I was 30, and I’m 50 now. she went on to have a family with someone else. I didn’t, as I just could never love another like I did her. believe me I tried! it took at least a decade for the wretched heart ache to completely leave me, and i look back on her now with fondness and love. I don’t hate her in the slightest, as I’ll always feel love for her, but I haven’t seen her in years, so only think about her every so often wondering how she is etc. but it doesn’t stop me from enjoying other aspects of my life!
