Do heartbreaks make us stronger?

In a cynical manner.

Absolutely! We learn from the negative experiences in our lives a lot more than the positive things. If everything went along with no problems, what could we possibly learn from that? Nobody likes heartache and problems, but when you get through them, it's like adding another brick to a wall your building. It makes you stronger and wiser.

I don't believe it . It makes us less trusting & eventually that prevents us to take risks , we become more cautious & this looks like we are less in trouble because we are stronger . But no , heartbreaks make us injured & damaged .

Whatever doesn't kill us does

in the scheme of things, YES, they make you stronger. But when it happens it sucks, its' painful and seems like the bitter end. Johnny Cash and a bottle always helps

Cash would cry when the bottle was empty...but then he got sober and became even more productive

yes they do

Nietzsche thought so.

They are signals and lessons to be learned. But you should analyze their causes.

They make you less foolish if you are willing to learn from your mistakes.

Nope they just short out our stupidity

Sometimes they do, but I still think we would all be better off without them!

I wouldn't know. Nature did not design every human being to thrive. We don't all get born into the Swiss section of town. I think the heart-broken are nicer than the rest of us, but they would have been better off if they were worse.

No, but we can become stronger through them.

Well it depends, on how you take the break up, and if you actually felt anything for your partner...

some of them can.

chess. c:

they can but not really just teaches you a lession in life

Look at the eased Elizabeth Taylor still in love with Richard Burton she married him twice.she never stop loving Richard Burton in most of in her life.It was one of the great love affairs of the last century – a turbulent 20-year odyssey of lust, love and marriage (twice), all in the spotlight of Hollywood fame. Now, Elizabeth Taylor is offering glimpses into her passionate, often painful life with Richard Burton through his love letters to her.The one letter that Taylor declines to share publicly – though she read it aloud to a Vanity Fair reporter – was the last one he wrote to her, just days before his unexpected death from a brain hemorrhage. In that letter, which Taylor keeps in a bedside drawer, he says he was happiest in life when he was with her, and wonders if they might have another shot together. does she seem to be stronger after her 9th divorced? she suffer inside and outside she's fine as dandy...her health got the best of her and till she burial next to her loved parents.

I did not know this...
but is she dead now?

yes she dead in past. she had experience of breaking her heart this is her 9th times..
she burial right next to her parents...she now is rest in peace.

to this i quote the great kanye west...what doesnt kill you makes you stonger, and blondes have more fun;)

xoxoxo~♥~xoxoxo

No. Once bitten twice shy.

Good song

They can. Depending on how you take the heartbreak, stirred with vegetable and possibly strawberries.

...had that for my midnite snack

I think so. If we didn't know pain, how can we know happiness?

true dat!!!
xoxoxo~♥~xoxoxo

i like you your cool;)

*blushes* umm...thnx lol ur pretty cool too :)

very good reasoning

Perhaps.

NO! a gym makes you stronger duhh.....but really NO...the more heart breaks the more your scared to fall in love......

hahaha

For most people they do

Yes, I think it makes us tough so we can then guard our hears..

Indeed it has. My previous relationship ended badly. Which in turn led to the next relationship whose heart was broken just as badly as mine was. We found each other. Today she is the mother of my children.
