ok.. study me then
i am a hardcore skateboarder. and i have been for a long time. I have had many injuries, thankfully no broken bones, but i did tear a ligament once, which hurts a fuck of a lot more than a broken bone, from what i understand.
in other words, i know physical pain, since i deal with it daily.
Another side of my life
One of my ex's cheated on me with my 'best friend'. That hurt me a fuck of a lot. I thought i was totally in love with this girl, and she did something like that to me. Then my friend, whom i was friends with for 10 years also did that shit. That was a much different pain than being physically hurt.
My recent ex also broke up with me, recently, and i was insanely in love with her. It was all my fault, because i was still hurt by my previous relationship, so that made me feel bad also, because i wasn't myself, which in turn fucked things up. It hurt a lot, because i fucked up, and i lost the best thing that ever happened to me, and probably the best thing that will ever happen to me. I can't even stress how much that hurts, and still hurts.
Those pains are so much different though. The pain of being hurt by falling on my skateboard and the pain of being hurt in relation to someone you love, whether it be neglect, or by knowing that your own stupid actions caused things to fuck up, it's still way different. The pain of losing someone like that is more on the inside, whereas falling and fucking up your body is more direct at the source.
From someone who experineced both pains, one on a daily basis, i can see how the same part of the brain could tell you that either is happening, but they are much different feelings. One is physical and the other isn't.
This whole thing could explain why hard asses who like to fight don't have a problem with going up to girls and getting rejected though.
