I Feel Deeply and Often Get Hurt Because of It

This has been a month of losses.
A boyfriend, friends.
I feel so hurt. They were special for me but they just walked away. I didn't do anything wrong to them. Yet they couldn't be honest at least. That made me keep waiting and hoping for them to return. I don't want to keep waiting. I am tired... I'm tired of giving my best and getting hurt like this...
Feels like I died and I don't even know how is that I'm still here, feels like I am numb after so much pain.

Maybe your expectations are unreasonable. You'll always be hurt and disappointed in that case. Before you get defensive and say "No I don't have unreasonable expectations!!" at least think about it..we often are way more responsible for our misery than the people we blame. Look within. If you are a young person, and your words read as though you are,now would be a good time to look within

@Fernie in one of the cases, perhaps. In the other, not.

@SW-User good for you for knowing that! If you keep "giving your best and getting hurt like this" ..when something keeps happening to us, we are usually creating it.

@Fernie it's not with everyone. I have other friends. That aren't like that. So it's not about me, like you say.

@SW-User some of it is if you are human. In the end we are 100% responsible for our misery and our happiness.

@Fernie I really appreciate how grounded in reality you are, it's refreshing

@mljenkins your comment really surprised me...most of the time I get defensiveness from folks. Guess we are both grounded in reality...I find that quite refreshing :>
