We all know the song, but what do you think is easier to live with? A lonely heart, or a broken heart?

I think it's easier to have a broken heart. As the old saying goes "time heals all wounds" (not that I strictly believe that anyway), but I feel as if one can learn to cope with whatever experience they had when their heart was broken. However, being lonely is something that is on-going and you can't get over it simply by forgetting. So for me, I'd much rather have my heart broken than spend my life being alone.

Edit: Poll is not showing for me. Anyone else?

Not showing for me either.

The correct answer is broken heart, because at least you can look back and see that you had love at one point or another. Can't really say for a lonely heart.

It's easier to be brokenhearted than lonely. Time heals all wounds (for the most part anyway), but it doesn't help you find someone.

Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

I hate being lonely :(

I think Glitchspot is glitching again... not first thread where it wont work.

I honestly could not choose. I have never had a broken heart and have not really been lonely before. I've had days where I felt lonely and they suck though.

You see my history is kind of weird, i always have girls around me ,having dates has never been a problem, but i still feel lonely, and that is because i still love someone who i cheated on. And no matter the amount of girls who i go ut with or have anything , i stil feel empty. I have every girl but the one i really love :(

Sorry to hear that...I'm just starting my first real relationship and like it a lot more than running around with other girls. It is just nice to have one person.

Having been the owner of a broken heart for the past year and a half, I'm gonna have to go with lonely for now. They do say time heals, but I certainly haven't gotten over it yet. Hopefully my opinion will change someday.

The real question should be"would you want something and have it taken away or not have had it at all"

Believe me its something that ill regret my whole life, if i could choose between all the girls i have been with and her, i would pick her. Many i bet will say if you loved her why did you do that, how can i say this , for most of my life i was always the fatty introverted kid who no one would like, but then as i grew older my looks got better. And so being popular , having girls all over you the whole time, was so new for me, and bang i became arrogant and all,i though she would stay with me no matter what i did if she didnt figure out, but she did. And as i told you no other girl makes me feel like she did

A person making a series of small mistakes is no different to a couple who slowly drift apart, which is no different to one person making one huge mistake.

Lonely is worse. I've had my heart broken, but going through a long lonely stretch has been much worse.

What do you mean by lonely though? Lonely as in not having a girl or lonely as in not leaving your house to hang out with a friend or something.

Well at least when you have a lonely heart there's still hope, and although time does heal all wounds broken hearts are not fun.

True, thanks for that. Still i feel bad when some of the girls i go out with tell me i love you, and just out of courtesy i reply i love you too, even tough i dont feel that way, and its already been 4 years since i last genuinely said it

I wouldn't call lying a courtesy. :P Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're bad or anything, I know "I love you" puts a lot of pressure on a person and they feel obligated to say it back. I know some people say it because they want to believe they are, that they feel so lonely (wven when in a relationship) that they just want to hear the words and I know some people say it because they feel it in the moment.

That being said, I'm very careful when using the word/phrase. I would never use it unless I absolutly believed it. The problem with that is that it's hard to know when you actually believe it over feeling it in the moment/any perod of time, and the word is also quite flexible.

"I love basketball."

"I love my mum."

"I love you."

Anyway, point of this post was just to say don't lie about it.

I've chosen to stay alone so I wouldn't have to experience heartbreak. It's an "evil you know" sort of thing, but I'm not really that lonely these days anyhow.

I know, I'm feeling it right now which is why I was listening to the song and made the thread. :P

But as another posted said it's about having something and losing it, rather than not having it at all; better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all, etc.

Yeah that does make sense. It's an experience, even though their is the chance it could end in a broken heart or loneliness.

Time does heal wounds, even if a little permanent scarring is left in its place. I remember breaking up with a girl after 5.5 years and it felt like nothing would get me back on my feet for months and months, but all worked out well in the end. Just going through another break up of over 5 years and the adage that times a great healer is an important cliché to keep in the forefront of the mind when dealing with it.

While it is true that - for the most part - you can heal a broken heart, lonliness can be defeated as well.... once you realize that the majority of people you might think are friends are just there to either use you or take advantage of you.

What's really sad and telling in this is when one has come into some financial success: everyone you thought was a friend seems to change completely, and become borrowers instead of friends.

I find that having a broken heart is worse than being lonely, for the reason that while feeling heartbroken the emotions felt are more intense. That being said, I still prefer being heart broken because there are still the good times that were had to look back on.
