marlena Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I know you're right but it's hard for me to break out of this self-hate thing. You have nothing to hate yourself for. You are intelligent, pretty and sensitive. One day you will gain the self-confidence that you need to see all these amazing qualities in yourself. You don't need him, Shadow. He is playing on your insecurities. Let him go and find yourself again. Prove to yourself how very strong and independent you can be.
Author shadowplay Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 Thanks for the advice and support everyone. I feel more together now than I did this morning. Like an alcoholic who had a slip, I just need to brush myself off and get back on the wagon.
allina Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 No no no! Don't drop out of a class just because he's in it! No! You're this smart, creative chick that somehow lets her world be turned upside down by some guy, and just like that your goals and self worth go flying out the window. How frustrating! It should be a good thing that he doesn't want to speak to you again! It'll keep you from hitting the same brick wall with him again and again. Ignore him, do well in school and make friends. Don't let him throw you off your path or cause you to drop a class, you'll regret it later. Plus, letting an ex who treated you poorly control your actions like that is no way to get out of this funk and walk tall.
The Collector Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 shadowplay, do you have a thing for Simon Cowell?

You're right but I was actually going to drop the class anyway because I was overloaded with studio courses and this one didn't count toward my degree. I would not drop a class for him! I may be crazy, but there's a limit.
Author shadowplay Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 shadowplay, do you have a thing for Simon Cowell? No (), but does Robert Downey Jr. count? He's more my type personality wise. Smart, charismatic, confident and a bit...arrogant?
The Collector Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Most women seem to like Downey Jr. The bit where he passed out in some little girls bed doesn't count apparently. He's so naughty!
torranceshipman Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Shadow Play - this guy is a major ass. A complete loser. Cut him off, because you are batting well below your average by being with him. If you had much higher self esteem there is no way in hell you'd be interested in him (I guarantee this is true). There are SO many things you can do to meet people - get on Facebook and join loads of groups for your area/city, join a gym, get onto match.com or another similar dating site, myspace, whatever, just get out there all the time... And dont worry about your roomies - just be totally cool and maybe leave something cool like a 6pack out...say sorry for the drama guys, lets all be glad that guy wont get an invite back!-heres some beer for good will and see ya back at the apartment after school

I think I might try that. I already apologized to one of them. I'm cutting my ex off. Can't believe my stupidity.
