How do you think you would react if someone you worked with bore a striking resemblance to someone who broke your heart?

I don't know because I've never really had a broken heart.

I guess I'd be depressed a lot. I get that way sometimes anyway, without needing to actually be exposed to the person (or a facsimile), so if I was forced to think about this hypothetical person all the time, I think it'd be bad for me.

I don't know. I would probably feel like crying.

I wouldn't. It wouldn't make any difference to me

Well...maybe I could fall in love with him...and have a new heartbreak...

Or assume that my heart has been broken, even if it hasn't?
I have a couple of exes whose near-doubles would definitely wig me out at first. But I hope that as I got to know them, I would get over any preconceived ideas about them I might have based on a superficial resemblance. I'm much more likely to have a bad reaction to someone who acts like one of these exes. Mostly I think I'd just steer clear of them as much as possible, if that were the case.

I have no idea. I usually do the breakin'.

I would be very startled. And being the kind of person that I am, I would probably hit on him

I would feel uncomfortable at first I think. But as she is a completely different person, I'd get over it. Or maybe fall in love again...

I am not certain how I would act. I've yet to experience a broken heart.

I would probably try to stay away from them, because I would tend to act like a fool around them.

I've never had a broken heart.

I'd probably be warm for their form...assuming they were available. Otherwise, it wouldn't be likely to phase me too much. I might be more inclined to flirt with them (as if I wouldn't otherwise!)

A year ago, I asked for a clone of my ex, and got a gal in my theosophy class with similar name and appearance, we played supernatural games then slept together. It was comparable to sleeping with the dead. I'll never make that mistake again.
Everyone reminds me of a clone of someone I've met before. My son has two unrelated friends who sound and appear identical.
It's something i take for granted, just as I see two levels or more of reality in everyone I see, and have to know how to seperate them.

i'd feel sick to my stomach every time i see the person and probably wouldn't be able to look the person in the eyes

I think i would be excited but scared at the same time !

I wouldn't let it bother me.
Strange that this topic should be brought up, I have just started working with someone who looks helluva lot like a guy I used mess about with.
But he's a nice person in himself - it would be wrong to dislike him.

I really don't know since no one has ever broken my heart. I'd rather not try to imagine what that would be like.

You're a little heartbreaker....

Speaking of heartbreaking, I've got a tough one - to break a soulmate connection with a most beloved one in the interest of their mind and heart's autonomy.

Isn't their autonomy their responsibility?

Ha!

This has happened to me before. I found out later that they were actually cousins. I made sure to watch what I said around him.

I don't know. Since no one has ever broken my heart I don't know.

i don't think it would bother me from the broken heart perspective although i would find it interesting that someone resembled another that much.

This actually happened, and it didn't bother me. Appearance is only a very small part of what a person actually is, after all.

It would hurt but give some semblance of comfort that they were near. Then I would probably start to hate them and their happy life!

Not if they haven't entirely had it. I mean suppose I telepathically shared all my decisions with you, and you were enamoured with me, and didn't want to seperate, but I had te break your heart and seperate anyhow so you make decisions on your own. Sure, it should naturally be their responsibility, but it's a dilmna if you haven't been entirely mundane, and now have to sever a connection they'd rather keep.

I'm in this perdicament right now. At the Pizza Hut where I work one of the drivers, looks SO much like Jennie C. (mandy knows who I'm talking about there), it's fudging scary.

You have to be true to you. End of story.

I'm pretty well able to distinguish my feelings for people independent of whether they look similar to one another. I don't think it would make any difference.

Since I've never had a broken heart I have no idea how I would react.

I would probably try to get real close and pretend that my fantasies about my lost love are coming true.

I'd probably fail to notice the resemblance.

It would probably make me sad and depressed.

Tell them they remind you of someone but don't go into detial unless you become good friends, But ask if they are related to the butt-hole.

I've been tempted to do just that!

I don't think I'm so emotional that I'd really care or let it affect me at all.

a little uncomfortable at first, then i would adapt

Oh my word.

Well, I went ahead and spilled the whole story to the Doppleganger, and it's actually worked out nicely. Now that all the tension in the air has been dispersed (she probably thought my interest was in HER, not Jennie), we're gettting along a little better, and now I'm not so nervous and jittery when she's in the room. This is beneficial to all at the Pizza Hut.

i end up sleeping with them

it would amuse me as if the powers that be are playing a small but annoying joke on me

I can totally relate! There's a guy at college who is the spitting image of my ex boyfriend, who broke my heart. It gives me the serous wiggins just seeing him. I can't separate the two, it's very strange. I certainly couldn't work with him.
