At this point...I wish I had them. No excess is good but I've felt numb for way too long.

@CrazyMusicLover I can relate actually

I remind myself of the facts about that person: incompatibility, bad things they've brought into my life, the many ways in which I'm truly happier without them.

iMystery · M

@SW-User That definitely is great advice

@iMystery Oh, I do not deny falling for a new woman often ends up in pain.

I have never had a girlfriend, and every woman I have fallen for did not fall for me, too!

iMystery · M

@JoyfulSilence Unreciprocated feelings are the worst.

SW-User

@JoyfulSilence Same. No man ever loved me in return.

Roll the dice

It can be done but the hurts that come from those from the past can stay and can affect having feelings for anyone else.

iMystery · M

@Thedoorislocked Agreed! They say time heals all wounds, but I added a bit of my own to that which is: But some wounds leave deeper scars than others.

So even though the wound is healed the scars left behind messes things up for the next person who may come along.

@iMystery My first break up was devastating..now I give myself six weeks to get OVER MYSELF

iMystery · M

@bookerdana Six weeks is a long time. I prefer to just shut down. Much quicker and I can focus more efficiently that way.

The only drawback is that takes me to a dark place... a place that I always find comfort in, but then I'm just a cold bastard.

bookerdana · M

@iMystery Shutting down can do that..I give a week for grieving ,4 weeks on all the things I may have let slip,bills reading movies then back on the road again

@OldBrit Quitter!

OldBrit · 61-69, M

@closed4service and proud of it

iMystery · M

@closed4service 🤣 Tried that once... All I got was a 3 day hangover 🤣

marsbar · F

Distract myself by focusing on other things, being productive & talk to other guys.

iMystery · M

@marsbar Good suggestion

Allelse · 36-40, M

I get to know them, once I do that I usually lose all interest.

SW-User

Alcohol.

iMystery · M

@SW-User Lol not always the best idea, because you might wake up still having those feelings plus a bonus hangover 🤣

SW-User

@iMystery in that case working on yourself is the only way to try and get over it.

iMystery · M

@SW-User Agreed

Angiebird · 26-30, F

God knows. Wait it out I guess

iMystery · M

@Angiebird Time heals all wounds I guess

Selah ·

Why do yall hate feeling lol

iMystery · M

@Selah Lol I wouldn't say I hate feeling... its jut the consequences thereof when those feelings are not reciprocated, especially when you were given the impression that they actually were mutual.
