and she used to get mad, but the more i talked about the things she put me through the better i felt to not keep it inside.

there is a part of you that will always love him, know that..accept it and give yourself permission to move on..it takes time, the girl i speak of it took me 8 yrs to get over her and i stopped speaking to her for 3 yrs after our break up.

now we are friends and i joke about the past..she feels so bad about what she did then..but it's water under the bridge and i am over her now.you can make it..i did..the guy you met just wasn't the right guy & you weren't ready.

just gotta keep trying and you'll get there..hope this helps!
Thank you very much, it seems you put hard work into trying to reason with yourself a sense of rationality about the situation. I am very poor at rationalising social situations and relationships, which in this case has also largely been my downfall.

It is nice to hear that you two are now speaking, however I think that once I have evaded this trigger (this guy), there is no going back. But then part of me wants to break that cycle of befriending people, ruining it because i'm tactless with my emotions and it scares people, and then never seeing them again.

He did give me 'chances' in all fairness, when I did lash out emotionally at him, but it was obvious why, because he was bored and lonely and just used me thrice.

all your advice IS helping me get through this.
