throughthetrees Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 I think one of the worst things about breakups is the loneliness. You realize how much that other person filled the void- someone to spend weekends with, someone who truly cared about your **** besides your parents, etc. Then when it’s over you realize you’ve let your social network kind of fall by the wayside and you end up alone on a Saturday night watched TV online, checking your phone, and eating donuts. I also think Facebook is kind of poison post-breakup, because you see everyone getting engaged and posting pictures of themselves with their significant other on hikes and at dances n’ stuff. And you start to think- how did everyone else get so lucky? ( I know this is a cognitive distortion but I don’t care). I think as you get older you realize life isn’t a fairy tale and nothing really works out exactly as you planned, but I still believed (believe?) in love. But maybe there isn’t someone out there for everyone. Maybe it is all just a random lottery. Does anyone else have these feelings? 2
CompleteFailure Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 That's so depressing. No wonder you're alone.
Pisces13 Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Keep your head up I hate the feeling of loneliness as well (I'm sure we all do), but you just have to find ways to deal with it. Take up a hobby or do something to keep you occupied, spend time with your friends etc. Loneliness is what YOU make of it.
CompleteFailure Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 It's really like having to amputate a body part you're still in need of. I started thinking all this love crap is just fantasy that Disney and every other storybook fairytale promote. It's nothing more than just a way to brainwash and control the masses. I want to say that I don't believe in love anymore or fate, destiny, whatever. Though sometimes when I close my eyes, I see a glimpse of my future self meeting someone. I can't see their face(only a silhouette of their being) and I don't know where we are or what we're doing but I'm enjoying myself. That glimpse lets me know that even without all that fantasy, fairytale, fate, destiny bull sh.t, that there's still HOPE. The way my ex met her current bf also seems like fate intervened for her sake. So there's that too. 1
uniqwa Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) lol you and I both !! I believe everything seems to be based on a lottery lmao Some of us get the lucky numbers and then let them slip right through our fingers...... I have given up on the idea of "love"... It is something that is supposed to happen for everyone... It is something I genuinely believed in... nothing seems to last forever sort of ordeal.. in a blink of an eye.. SoO you are not alone, to question and be inquisitive and give a theory that everything seems to be based on chance aka a lottery ticket is very human ^_^ but part of being human is learning.. that's the ****ty part.
