Rejection and broken in love

The following article comes from my own experience of working around the experience of rejection, I have used fictional characters as examples of typical human experiences seen by me over the years.
The most unbearable pain is that of being rejected, especially by the breakup of a relationship, the pain can be tangible and cruel, ruthless in its persistence and self-defeating in its negativity. When it happens, we feel merciless to the inner torment that it causes. Rejection, hopelessness, repeated, ruminating thoughts which are in every waking moment, every second spent alone. Desperate to be understood and listened to, our minds go over and over again ways of fixing the damage even of ways to become irresistible to the ex.  Even fantasies which would cause the other to feel the same unbearable pain. Excruciating is the pain of suffering rejection, we are often left looking at the life of the other as looking at ourselves is overwhelming. Rejection hits us all in equal measures no matter what the human type, creed or class matters little, color matters little, sexual orientation matters little.
