Title: I forgot why I refused to go out...
Post by: Mars on March 12, 2009, 07:25:54 am
And now I realize how bad relationships hurt on the way down. I have mono, have been cheated on, a fever of 102 F, I have a C in two college classes, can't sleep, and am so depressed. I tried so hard, I thought I loved her, and I don't have a god damn fake ID.

And I have no originality.

Woah

My heart goes out to you man. How long were you with the girl for? People cheat even in the strongest relationships, you might as well take what you can from it, try and sense it in the future. I try not to get too close to women exactly for this reason, but you shouldn't be a cold-hearted bastard. Play some Freespace, stay away from softdrinks, have a sleep and a wank.

Not like you'll be doing anything with a fever anyway, or you shouldn't at least. There's always a way through.

And I get criticized when I make these toipcs.

Next time you find a girl, make dam sure the both of you know and believe in Honor and Loyalty.

I think thats based on personal qualities. A healthy relatinoship is a healthy relationship.

You're on a dopamine crash. Think of it as a sickness. It'll pass with time.

Try to promote flow cognition with engaging short-term activities (games!) and avoid thinking about the long term. Wake up at the same time every day and eat regular meals. Get at least half an hour of vigorous exercise every day.

As pathetic as it sounds, it was only about three months, but I'd known the girl for years. We were just at the point where we were telling each other we loved each other, and then she gave her best friend a blow job, I'm like, okay, we can work through this, she stopped talking to him, and four weeks later, here we are.

For what it's worth -- and as painful as it is -- if she did that, she's too much of a player to settle down into a relationship right now. You weren't with the right person, and it's good it ended now instead of more painfully later.

Think about she never existed in the first place.

Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing, but it's stupid, cause some part of me still wants to be with her

Well, while Freud was wrong about repression -- bottling up your emotions can, in some situations, be productive -- it's probably good to try to accept the memory and move on. Trying to avoid thinking about it will just make you think about it more.

This exact thing just happened to me too, but instead she left on a cruise for vacation with her family. Came back and told me she fell in love with some guy on it... she only knew him for a week...

And ya, that's why I haven't been on these forums in so long, you dedicate your life to someone, and in our case, find out they never appreciated it.

And ya, ignoring they exist is probably the best way to deal with them. And the way I see things, don't let them play with your feelings anymore than they already have. She is trying to with me, hitting on my best friend for the jealousy factor... I'm just not letting it get to me.

There is technically no such thing as a vacuum thanks to quantum virtual particles :P

Vacuum still sucks.  Hard. And besides, virtual particles don't count when they are in the way of a lame pun.

Physics lesson for y'all: THERE'S NO SUCK.

There is no such thing as negative pressure*, it's all just pressure differentials. So logically, if it feels that life sucks, in reality it's caused by the fact that YOU BLOW. Anyone can confirm this if you ask them to be honest with you (although some won't because they think you might become sad panda and go kick a dog or something).

This means life will stop "sucking" as soon as the pressure differential is equalized. There's two ways to achieve this - let pressure out (which can lead to becoming an empty shell) or regain some pressure aka content on the outside. Specifics to achieve this I'll leave for anyone to figure out themselves.

Thus endeth the lesson.

I don't want to sound mean or anything, but if she had a guy( that wasn't you) as her best friend, she didn't want to be in a serious relationship with you, IMO.

I wouldn't necessarily say that's true, I mean women are allowed to have guy-friends.

No, I agree with that, but if you say you love someone, it's totally different. At least in my opinion, when you tell someone you love them, I can't see how you can still be best friends with another of the opposite sex. Now then again, in my opinion and my thoughts, when you tell someone you love them, you are saying you love them and want to be with them above anyone else and be with them the rest of you life, thus would make them your best friend. So, that is where I may be off.  :doubt:

On the contrary, since we are humans and we are complaining about life sucking, if you put a human body in space, there's plenty of pressure differential to make you explode. Therefore the analogy still works, and its more accurate anyway since human beings define their existence through misery and pain. HAH!

Most of my friends are of the opposite sex. Though I'm fortunate in that my partner is my best friend, I consider that more a happy coincidence than an inevitability.

There's still a huge pressure differential, and you still die.
