Rejection really hurts, research says

[aspie guy]

Maybe verbal abuse can hurt you as much as sticks and stones: Romantic rejection, at least, causes physical pain, according to a new study of brain activity.

Neuroscientists have scanned the brain of those who have been rejected and found out that romantic rejection can cause physical pain.

I'm 26 years old and I've never had a girlfriend. But I've never felt pain.
Yes; it sucks to be rejected, but you'll get over it.

I do however feel nauseous when I'm in love with someone

Do we even need research to show rejection hurts? What's next? Research shows couples in love are happy? You know how you feel that's what matters.
