saucytatertot69 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Hello everyone. Before I was dumped, I had a great group of people I'm extremely blessed to call my best friends. On graduation day, I felt like I was walking into my own funeral because I knew my friends were all going to different colleges and we wouldn't see each other as much. At the time, I was with my recent ex. She was my best friend. I felt sad that my friends were leaving, but I felt ok knowing that I had her (she was one grade level below me). Everything was going good during the summer, except for a few arguments. The weekend before college started my girlfriend dumped me. I've never felt so lonely in my life. It's been 8 months, and I do talk to my hs friends via facebook or text, but I'm aching for that face to face connection with someone. I've talked to people in class, but I haven't established any connections with anyone to call them friends. Weekends are difficult for me since it's usually the time people socialize. Anyways, after being heartbroken, how do you deal with loneliness??? I have family members who I love dearly, but I want that outside family companionship. I guess I'm afraid of being rejected again, which holds me back from people.
Kari Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 When I graduated many of my friends had parted ways as well. Due to busy lives I only get to see them on occasion. Family is great to have around, they are always there for you. I understand the want to have outside connections. How do you deal with loneliness? You deal with the loneliness by putting yourself out there. Right now you started, you are slowly making acquaintances. Everybody fears rejection, but if we don't put ourselves out there, we will regret our decisions. It's better to say that you tried rather then doing nothing at all.
Author saucytatertot69 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Posted May 15, 2011 Thank you for your support. It was an unfair time for me. After she dumped me, she has a group of people to go back to, but I had no one. I was out and about by myself exploring uncharted territory. It was and it still is sometimes extremely lonely.
