100% agreed with you, two years back i was also having the same issue as s55. When my lover get engaged, i have just broken and start listening sad music,composing sad poetry, smoking cigrate etc i didn't go outside neither met anyone just self exiled myself in home which did nothing but only worsen my pain. Then my sister guide and lead me towards the right path. i realized different types of problems happened with everyone, we just need to cop up with those problems instead of destroying this beautiful life. we may not completely forget our bad times but at least keep trying to be pass this life with happiness. now i just keep busy myself in office and studies so that i can never think about anything which may sad my mood and make me feel like a loner. in weekends or on free times i just chill out with my family and friends, enjoy watching animated movies and sceince fiction movies, goes to long ride, read magazines, surf internet etc etc.
sorry for restarting this topic and for my personal long post but i just thought to share this may be it will help any broken heart out there 
cheers!
