I was messed around for the past 6 months, I have finally called off whatever we had (nothing). I invested a lot of time, effort and money in this person and the whole situation has left me thoroughly drained.

 

I now have no interest in even talking to another female, having to build that relationship/trust/connection again is just far too much hard work..

 

Normal? I really let my guard down for this girl..

Yes it's normal. You are dejected and need some time to rejuvenate and start again.

Everyone should step back from dating for a little while after being hurt so that they can process their emotions from that experience and get refocused and centered again. If they don't allow themselves to process that properly, they end up carrying "proverbial baggage" forward into new dating scenarios.

 

Give yourself a break. Spend time with family and friends. Do things you enjoy doing for yourself.

I can recommend several good tv shows, books, or movies to dump yourself into as well as several good outdoor activities.

 

Sorry, not a fun place to be, wish you the best of luck on the other side, but do take your downtime!!
