What would happen if a stranger said āI donāt want to be in a relationship with youā?
Now, take a moment to imagine a very untrustworthy stranger. Imagine that youāre walking down the street and then this untrustworthy stranger approaches you in the street and says the same comment (words) to you as the person who you think made you feel hurt. For instance, imagine that the untrustworthy stranger said āI donāt want to be in a relationship with you.ā How do you think you would feel? You probably wouldnāt feel much of an emotional reaction at all.
If the words themselves created your hurt, then when the stranger spoke those same words to you, you would also feel hurt. So why wouldnāt you feel hurt or broken hearted when the stranger said the same comment to you? It is simply because you wouldnāt believe their words to be true. If you donāt believe what the other person is saying to be true, their words canāt create emotions. Your hurt and ābroken heartā canāt be created by what someone said to you, it can only be created by your belief that their words are true.
What creates your feeling of hurt when someone explicitly says something negative to you
Right after you got rejected, you seem to immediately feel hurt. But, something happens in between the rejection and your feeling of hurt.
When someone says something negative to you, you donāt just hear it, then focus on whatever is happening in the next moment. As soon as you hear the negative comment about you, you begin to unconsciously think that their opinion is true. Once you think that someoneās negative opinion about you is true, you feel hurt.
What creates your ābroken heartā when you get rejected
When someone rejects you without saying anything negative about you, you will likely begin to immediately think 2 things. First, you decide what the other person thinks about you, and then you believe that their opinion must be right. In other words, you make an assumption about what they think about you, and then you form the conclusion that what they think must be true. Here are a few common examples:
The assumption about what they think: āHe thinks Iām not good enoughā, āHe thinks something is wrong with meā, or āHe doesnāt think I am worthy of loveā The conclusion that what they think must be true: āIf he thinks Iām not good enough, then I must not be good enoughā, āIf he thinks something is wrong with me, there must be something wrong with meā, or āIf he doesnāt think I am worthy of love, then I must not be worthy of loveā
You may be aware of these thoughts or you may not be. But if youāre feeling hurt, they are there.
Once we believe these negative thoughts about ourselves, we are essentially worsening our opinion of ourselves. When our opinion of ourselves worsens, we experience the feeling of hurt or being broken hearted. (I wonāt get into the details of why this creates hurt in this post).
How to stop feeling hurt (how to heal a broken heart)
If you want to know how to heal a broken heart, or how to stop feeling hurt by someone elseās rejection, insult, or disapproval, here it is: All you need to do to heal a broken heart is recognize that you donāt actually know whether someoneās opinion about you is true. That just because they have a specific opinion about you, it doesnāt mean that their opinion is correct. It would seem obvious that we canāt know whether someoneās opinion is true, but we very easily lose sight of this as we go through life.
If our partner insults us or breaks up with us, we tend to think that thereās something āwrongā with us. If our boss insults us or fires us, we are likely to believe that we arenāt āgood enoughā. If our parents disapprove of us, we might believe that weāre unworthy or insufficient. In other words, when someone else believes that we arenāt āperfectā, we often believe them.
An analogy to help you see why rejection doesnāt mean that you arenāt āgood enoughā
To understand the flaw in this logic, letās look at a quick analogy. Imagine you are with your four-year-old son as he plays one of his games at home. He has several wooden shapes that he is trying to place in matching holes on a wooden board. Now imagine that your son picks up a square shape and tries to put it in a triangle-shaped hole, and then says to you, āMommy (or Daddy), the square isnāt good enough for this holeā. What would you say to him? Probably something like, āSweetie, just because the square doesnāt fit, it doesnāt mean that the square isnāt good enough or that there is something wrong with itā.
The same is true with all of our relationships in life. If someone breaks up with you, fires you, or disapproves of you, that doesnāt mean that you are not āperfectā. That simply means you donāt fit their definition of āperfectā. To go back to the analogy, this means you donāt fit in the shape of theirhole. Just because you donāt fit the shape of their hole, that doesnāt mean you arenāt āgood enoughā for them.
You canāt be ānot good enoughā
You canāt be ānot good enoughā and there canāt be something āwrongā with you because there is no such thing as āgood enoughā or āwrongā. These concepts donāt exist as facts. They only exists as thoughts in each personās mind. But itās not as though everyone has the same concept about what is ānot good enoughā and āperfectā. Each of us has completely different definitions of what we think is āgoodā and ābadā, ārightā and āwrongā, āhelpfulā and āharmfulā, ābeautifulā and āuglyā, āfunnyā and āboringā.
What one guy finds unattractive, another one may find attractive. What one girl thinks is annoying, another girl may love. What one boss believes is a ābadā trait, another boss may value. What one mom thinks is a ridiculous career choice, another mom may be proud of. What one dad may think is a disappointing house, another dad may be proud of.
Is one personās definition of ārightā, āgoodā, or āattractiveā somehow more correct or more true than othersā definitions? If someone thinks one of our characteristics is ābadā or ānot good enoughā, this just means we fit that personās concept of those words. It doesnāt mean we are these concepts.
How to heal a broken heart? Here is the exercise to do it
How to heal a broken heartā¦ how to stop feeling hurtā¦ all you need to do is ask yourself a few questions in order to help you discover that you arenāt ānot good enoughā. Here are some questions, but it is by no means an exhaustive list of questions. Take a moment now to ask yourself the following questions.
Am I absolutely certain of why they broke up with me or rejected me? Is is possible that they broke up with me because of a different reason? If so, then can I be sure that they really have the negative opinion that I think they have about me? Am I absolutely sure that their opinion about me is true? Could someone else have a different perspective than theirs? If so, can I really be sure that their perspective is true? Is their opinion somehow more true than other peopleās opinions? Is it true that just because I care about this person, or they spent a lot of time with me, that their opinion is somehow more valid than other peopleās opinions? Am I sure that something about me isnāt āgood enoughā, or is it just that I happen to fit their specific definition of this word? If they donāt want to be in a relationship with me, am I sure that means that āthereās something wrong with meā, or does it just mean that we arenāt the right fit for each other? When two things donāt fit together, is one of them inherently āworseā and ānot good enoughā, or is it just not the right fit? Where does āsomething is wrong with meā or āIām not good enoughā exist? Can I locate it, touch it, pinpoint it, see it, hold it, show it to others? Does ānot good enoughā exist as a fact, or is it just a thought about a fact? If I canāt physically locate āwrongā or ānot good enoughā, then can I admit that these concepts only exists as thoughts in my mind? If so, can I admit that itās not true that āI am not good enoughā or āI have something wrong with meā, but rather that I just have a thought that says āI am not good enoughā or āthere is something wrong with meā? Can I think of any reasons or examples as to why the opposite of their opinion might be true? If so, then can I know with absolute certainty that their opinion about me is true?
There is nothing wrong with you
These questions are meant to show you that someone elseās opinion doesnāt mean anything about who you are. It doesnāt matter what person rejected you and it doesnāt matter what anyone thinks about youā¦ itās not true that you arenāt āgood enoughā, itās not true that you have something missing, itās not true that there is something āwrongā with you. These are just ideas that donāt exist anywhere but as a thought in one personās mind. Othersā opinions of you donāt mean anything about you at all. No personās opinion is true, fact, or valid.
When you truly discover this for yourself, your broken heart will just dissolve.
Thank you for reading and engaging with this post about how to heal a broken heart!

The Most Popular Tactics To Love Yourself Donāt Work
Before we get into exactly how to love yourself, I think it is important to address why the most popular and most common tactics for how to love yourself canāt give you the results that you want.
The 2 most commons tactics that I hear for how to love yourself are:
