I keep getting my heart broken again and again. why do i keep trying?

:\ I do the same thing, I don't know why I can never stop myself despite the rational caution experience has sadly taught me again and again it seems.

Perhaps it is just in some peoples' nature to be hopeful, thinking in ideals about love and people.

I am a relationship-oriented person, I accept that not everyone is going to be the same sort of affectionate, accepting and appreciative as I am; you shouldn't be hard on yourself for being you.

I think for me it is largely the thought of: this time will be different; the way things were last time cannot be all there is, there has to be someone out there that is going to prove me wrong, that is different. Or I think: what if this time is different and I let it pass me by because of what someone else did to me, the hurt.

I know now that that wasn't love, not really; no matter how much it felt like it at the time, the actual real love is still out there and it will happen someday when I least expect it.

I always tell myself to take it slow, to not get my hopes up, but I always do, because I want it to be so deep down no matter whatever logical speech I tell myself.

So you're not alone unfortunately and fortunately; if you need or want to talk I am here for you even if it's just to let it out

When I look out there at the market place where that stuff is concerned I feel like I look like a god damn mad man in a lot of ways because it's understandable how everyone else gets shy and afraid especially after having been hurt multiple times but I have been and still somehow manage to commit myself to embracing love as if I've never been broken EVERY GOD DAMN TIME even though in truth I've had my heart smashed to pieces more than once.

Somehow though I am grateful to my Exes even still in that the benefit of healing from it finally gave me some insight and perspective and it is truly better to have loved and lost and most especially because we learn about ourselves and glimpse insight to bring into future relationships when things go belly up.

I learned from them, So thanks for that much even though my heart was broken in the process.

I can forgive those of you who grow terrified...

but I'm not.

Because the hope of finding something priceless with your heart is a better prospect than never even trying and assuring yourself loneliness.

The heart , in my experience, is Ripley's-level elastic. Trust it and it won't let you down.

reading this quickly, it appears you attract the wrong person all the time

Know and understand them before you invest your emotions.

That's not in your hand...nature is operating you.

Love yourself enough to not settle for less

I kind of envy you for that. It would be nice to believe in that again.
I had one event in my life that completely killed that belief in me over 10 years ago and have never been able to get it back since

I think it is just a natural human drive that cannot be turned off.

Maybe the kind of guy's u date?
