Current Events > You ever think about that one person who romantically messed you up emotionally?

(+) Yeah! (+)

That one person who you fell for, and you fell for hard, and it seemed like everything was perfect for you to be together, but then shit hit the fucking fan and you've been scarred emotionally ever since and your self-esteem still hasn't recovered a year later?

Just be grateful to ever have somebody. Many of us aren't that lucky.

Well thats one of the reasons I dont drink. :P I prefer to keep my inner demons locked firmly away in my subconscious.

Every fucking day

I've recovered, but it was rough for a while. Like, you heal, but scarring is still there. If this girl doesn't work out, I won't have any hp left for romance.

Shakespeare was wrong, and Isaac Brock was right.

My mom is trying to fix me up with a girl who bullied me on the school bus forty years ago, and it may actually work.

Fair; sometimes you gotta let the demons out to play tho. Or they get antsy lmao

I've been doing a lot better, but fuck man. We're still friends/have a lot of the same mutal friends, so every now and then I get hit hard with the feels.

I dont think I've lost hope or anything; ive loved before her, ill love after her. I mean shit. I had a crush on someone else relatively recently. But fuck, I've never fallen for someone as fast as her before, and I got burned real fucking bad for it.

Ah, it's never been such a fall like that for me. I was with my best friend since I was like 15. Ended a couple years back. There's kind of a void in the neurons there.

Fuck man. That's rough.

For me it felt like one of those cliche "love at first sight" kinda bull shit things, and we clicked super well, and talked practically every day. And it was great. Then some stupid BS happened and it was over on a dime.

Idk why that's the one that hit me so bad, when I've been in arguably deeper, and definitely longer relationships. But fuck man. That's the one that fucked me up.

This is why I actively stop myself from catching feels. I keep people at arm's length, I tell myself that I'm not going to pursue them, and I find contentment in being their friend.

I've broken this rule once, and it hurt just as much as every other unrequited crush I've ever had. Now we're not friends, and it hurts to think about them. I've lost them as a person entirely, and I'm kicking myself because romantically or not, they meant a lot to me.

I haven't had romantic feelings that haven't fucked me up emotionally. I'm holding out hope that one day I'll love and be loved in return, but until then, I'm going to be super fucking careful about who I let in.
