The first cut is the deepest??

I think it depends on the situation, and quite frankly, all wounds heal over time. I believe that the best thing to ascertain from this is what we have learned. Let's say for example, you have decided to drink coffee so you prepared the pot, poured water on it and put it on the stove. When it started boiling, you touched the pot with your bare hand. Obviously, you'll hurt that hand. The question is, will you stop drinking coffee because you hurt your hand? No. The next time around you use a pot holder so you don't hurt your hand. This is true with every wound you experience emotionally, not only in romance but in life. You never stop loving and living, you only learn by your own mistakes. First cut just seems to be the deepest since it is the first time we felt hurt. You will very much remember how it felt. I'm sure you would never forget the first time you hold a pot with your bare hand too. A lot of people will definitely do you wrong and would hurt you more than you were hurt the first time around. But, if you let those people hurt you over and over under the same circumstance, wouldn't that hurt more? All firsts happen to teach us, but it is not necessarily the one that defines us.

I believe we all experience phases in life where we are heart broken or grief stricken. It's difficult every time. Maybe the first time seems more overwhelming because we don't see it coming and we haven't developed the skills to deal with it. As we learn we are better equipped to 'bounce back' in order to survive emotionally.

At first, I thought you mean it literally.Your example is heartbreak, when someone experienced their first.For me, at first yeah it would hurt but it's not the end off the world. I guess some of us had experienced the same thing but why dwelt on that failure, we should learned to accept it, that we are not meant for each other so we have to move on. Sometimes, it helps us to be more aggressive giving us more courage to go on and search for the right guy for us.

Yes i agree with you, the cut is deepest and takes much time to heal up.

No i don't, after the first you think it can't be worser or you know what you can expect.. but all the cuts you get later on will be way deeper.

Usually, the first experience gained from doing any task (including riding a bicycle, love, relationship) may become the most memorable one for the person(s) involved at moment in time. This unique type of lingering emotional feeling may occur in the individual(s) expecially when one has no prior practical experience at 'this craft'; could have been forced to experience the event before they are emotionally and /or physically ready for it, and; may not be prepared to handle the effects of the outcome of the event. In fact, perhaps, this first experience at the 'new craft' or any other task being undertaken in life for the first time- by this individual may be compared with venturing into 'uncharted territory' of human existence. However, with repetition of the task over time (along with the acquisition of requisite skills and aptitude), and with the benefit of the learning curve of exposure to the fequency of the event and warming to the effects of the outcome, it may cause the latter experiences to be more memorable that the previous ones.

I agree it is the deepest! First try, first fail...... Can't describe much about it as I never had my first cut :\ Aww. I am scareddd :[

I believe you are right. It is not that you can not get over your first break-up, but it is very hard to forget. I still remember the first girl I was in love, eventhough it was many many girls before, not like the ones taht followed her. I do not know why this is but I believe taht, being the first time you experience something you remember more vividly. Thus, the first broken heart will heal last.
