Yes. Most of the time, they are.
The one thing you don't want to do while you're really down, yourself, is put your pain on display for all to see. It's sad for a moment, but the more a person wallows in public, rather than private, the more people begin to resent a "broken heart". They become overloaded with your pain and the effect is lessened. I'm not saying you should internalize it, but keep in mind that if you make a spectacle of the whole thing, it WILL NOT help you heal. Been there, done that.
Yes, i'm sure it hurts- but pouring your soul out to every person who will read what you have to say, will not make you feel whole again, it will only make you feel
more empty.
Healing comes when you realize that the world is still spinning, you're still alive- and if you don't drive them away by vocalizing every ounce of your pain, you'll still have your friends, as well.
Either way, most friends will always be there, even if you're a one-man walking Shakespearean tragedy for a while.
