Yes, that's exactly how I feel! I think going through something like this can make a person feel like the world is a cruel place. But I guess as time goes by it gets easier. I guess times like these can be turned into a positive in the sense that it can motivate you to better yourself; so that when you are ready to put yourself out there again you won't make the same mistakes again.

It sucks when you care about someone so much for it not to be reciprocated, right? But you're right, there's not much we can do about it. It's completely out of our hands. We only have control over ourselves and how we try deal with the situation.
