SO UNHAPPY

I don't have any helpful advice, but that may be because I feel exactly the same way. I don't know what to do, but I know that I have to get through it.

Maybe that's better than having them "like you" but not enough to be with you or marry you. You'll save yourself the trouble of a nightmare later.

Bluestar there's no way around it. Really, we're all in the same &hit. Some women are lucky, some women aren't, period- end of story. It's like that movie "he's just not that into you". Some are the exception and some are the rule. We're all the rules and some are the exceptions and we just have to force ourselves to make peace with it.

I have no idea why you and I are the rule to be honest but I'm hoping one day I'll get to ask life why but meanwhile just try to love yourself. Get up, dust your butt, pick a book, grow a hobby, call friends (if there's any) and watch tv. Just be your best friend.

I lock myself in the bathroom and cry my eyeballs out in the sink under running water. In fact, I just had one session with the sink and it feels better. Just cry it out then get back up and get moving....

There's no other solution. Smile... even if it hurts... laugh even if you're dying inside... there's no other way.

You're not alone. You'll be fine.

Don't have any good advice. As a married guy their is a lot of guys out there that will love to show you they care.

I discovered you must have a growth mindset focus on the opportunity. Understand that you WILL sometimes fail but your failures DO NOT DEFINE WHO YOU ARE. Do not assume you are defective if something goes wrong (I got an ‘D’ on my calculus exam means I need to try a different approach; it does not mean I am a stupid person). It's important to have a growth mindset that focuses on challenges. Seeing that opportunities give you the chance to try something new – even if it means you might not perform well. You absolutely will slow but surely improve if you don’t take failure to heart.

I agree but do you know what the problem is? It's common sense that once you fail you should get back up and try again until you nail it and that's what most people do at first but the problem is when you start failing a lot a long with getting older and weaker, you start losing hope in seeing yourself getting back up again. Even the worst pessimists deep down know you should try a different approach but that's not usually what stops them from trying.

I agree Baroness! As we get older and have been knocked down over and over and over and over (yeah I could go on for a while, heehee) what IS the point of getting back up? How do u keep urself from just saying f it and stay down? Ugh! I try to keep the faith but the older, and lonelier, I get the harder it is!!! And if trying a different approach were so easy and the answer, would we really be talking bout this?!? For the record, I have tried the different approach route and yet here I am still, alone. So how do I not just resign myself to the thought that the problem is ME! That I am just defective somehow or not meant to be loved? The worst feeling is having so much love to give but having no one want it! Yeah, I know, poor me! Lol!!
