Then instead of dealing with a more acute sorrow for a few weeks or months, you deal with a sort of numbing sorrow all your life. No thanks....

Everyone gets burned in life. At work, in relationships and with friends. It's unavoidable. Character happens when you deal with getting burned in a non-reclusive or immature way, and see tomorrow for what it is: potentially the day everything changes for the better -- if you throw yourself out there.
Or, more succinctly:

“Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” - Alfred Lord Tennyson
