I hate to say this, but the article on a broken heart being nothing
but self pity is totally unrealistic and implies masochistic tendencies
on the part of the person experiencing pain. Since pain is something we
do not want, we would not (consciously or otherwise) cause it by self
pity. The whole article is out of line with reality and suggests that
the author has never had a broken heart. (no self pity, then?)

A broken heart feels awful because the person experiences tremendous
traumatic stress due to emotional (and physical) dependency on his/her
MOTAS with whom they split up. Self pity is way out.
