That feeling goes away

it is sad but their is so much beauty (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 14 May 2011 00:57 (fourteen years ago)

but it's ok to feel shitty over it for the time being too iirc

Rev'erendoors (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:00 (fourteen years ago)

it's not like i want her back either. i think i feel like i failed because i'm still single maybe.

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:02 (fourteen years ago)

but... you broke up with her?

tehresa, Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:02 (fourteen years ago)

yup. i know.

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:02 (fourteen years ago)

do you want to be in another relationship right now?

sarahel, Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:03 (fourteen years ago)

i'd like to be at this point.

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:03 (fourteen years ago)

of some kind.

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:03 (fourteen years ago)

seriously, when they're with someone else for the first time after, logic doesn't come into it, you're gonna take a hit

Rev'erendoors (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:04 (fourteen years ago)

have you been dating?

sarahel, Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:04 (fourteen years ago)

not for a while. went out with a few girls a few months ago. never went anywhere tho.
i've been shot down by a couple of girls i know that i'd liked for a while (years) aswell. so that helps make everything awesome.

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:06 (fourteen years ago)

thermo imo what you're feeling is totally normal. but forks otm it goes away.

gr8080, Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:08 (fourteen years ago)

i think i feel like i failed because i'm still single maybe.

this is totally the thing and reasonable to feel. but even though it feels that way, it's not a race and you haven't found the right person yet, that's all

mookieproof, Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:09 (fourteen years ago)

or "a suitable person" -- i think the idea of "the right person" is kinda unhealthy

sarahel, Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:11 (fourteen years ago)

what is the difference?

mookieproof, Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:12 (fourteen years ago)

mookie otm...you can feel bad and it fucking sucks, but dont let it be about success/failure. don't do that to yourself.

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:13 (fourteen years ago)

right implies one. suitable implies 'workable' imo. i dunno... 'suitable' seems like a cop out to me.

tehresa, Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:14 (fourteen years ago)

nah suitable doesn't limit you to looking for a perfect one that prob doesnt exist

Rev'erendoors (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:16 (fourteen years ago)

right doesn't have to mean perfect. it could mean best.

tehresa, Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:18 (fourteen years ago)

"soul mate" is pretty loaded. finding someone "right" sounds perfectly doable.

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:18 (fourteen years ago)

unless you're me, obv!

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:19 (fourteen years ago)

anyways - you can get something right without getting it perfect.

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:19 (fourteen years ago)

re-writing my PoF profile right now.

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:19 (fourteen years ago)

The whole soul mate concept is total BS imo.

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:20 (fourteen years ago)

some day my princess will come

gr8080, Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:20 (fourteen years ago)

lol

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:21 (fourteen years ago)

right person, right time. just because it is simple doesnt make it easy. it'll come.

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 14 May 2011 01:21 (fourteen years ago)

i'm also worried that, while i wasn't completely happy with her, that she was the best i could do.

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 14 May 2011 02:41 (fourteen years ago)

oh dude, no. dont do that

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 14 May 2011 02:42 (fourteen years ago)

eh

There's a little to be said for that tbph

Rev'erendoors (darraghmac), Saturday, 14 May 2011 02:43 (fourteen years ago)

Issue is, are you bummed out because she has moved on, or are you bummed out because you want her back?

One is you needing to focus on your life and be content and the other is because you may have made a mistake splitting up.

I'd like to know why the feeling of getting over a breakup is like bereavement? Is it the same chemical in the brain that we use for coping? If so it sucks.

it fucking sucks.

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 14 May 2011 15:36 (fourteen years ago)

It sucks so fucking much.

I am leader of the sheeple (captain rosie), Saturday, 14 May 2011 15:41 (fourteen years ago)

fuck.

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 14 May 2011 16:27 (fourteen years ago)

Feeling ya.

It sucks so fucking hard.

It sucks slightly less hard now than it did 3 weeks ago. That doesn't mean it doesn't suck hard now. It just means I'm not trapped under my duvet. But at least something has changed.

ljubljana, Saturday, 14 May 2011 16:37 (fourteen years ago)

i'm over my past exes and have been moving on, had been flirting with this new girl who is just flat out amazing, but yesterday kind of pulled out the "I'm not sure what I want right now" card because of past experiences.

*sigh*. not a death knell I know, but patience is a difficult trait for me in situations like this...however, old dogs must learn new tricks.

starland vocal banned (Neanderthal), Sunday, 15 May 2011 14:48 (fourteen years ago)

she did say she liked me too, so it was more like a 'i want this, but just not sure right now' type thing

starland vocal banned (Neanderthal), Sunday, 15 May 2011 14:48 (fourteen years ago)

I can hardly imagine dating ever again, but I'm so horribly, physically lonely atm I'm having to remind myself not to scare friends and acqaintances with over-hugging.

Confused Turtle (Zora), Sunday, 15 May 2011 19:48 (fourteen years ago)

i can't speak for everyone but as a friend w/ someoen i've cared about i've never felt overhugging was a possibility, even on the receiving end

starland vocal banned (Neanderthal), Sunday, 15 May 2011 20:00 (fourteen years ago)

hugging is the best

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 15 May 2011 20:10 (fourteen years ago)

I miss hugs

hillybilly death worship (absolutely clean glasses), Sunday, 15 May 2011 20:11 (fourteen years ago)

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 15 May 2011 20:23 (fourteen years ago)

*hugs*

Confused Turtle (Zora), Sunday, 15 May 2011 20:56 (fourteen years ago)

i'm doing much better today, btw.
got my sorry ass off the couch last night, went out and met/made out with a random cutie!

got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 15 May 2011 21:17 (fourteen years ago)
