The End of a Chapter

I am mostly shut down when it comes to personal matters.
Feelings, persons, actions, I barely talk about that, even in real life.

These past days have been excruciatingly hard on me.
I was dating a girl from way back a year and a half ago.

I knew her since 2013, but we started dating only until May 2015.
She was sent out of town by her mother to the state's capital to take care of her grandparents.

She was the only person I used to see in a somewhat recurrent basis.
Out of that, I don't even go out, I don't have any real friends nor anyone close to me to rely upon in this situations. I am used to struggle with myself when it comes to issues or any kind of problem.

But this time it's different.
She was the only one I could "somewhat" rely on, for better or worse...

She was most of the time harsh to me, as soon as I wanted to talk about something just to get it out (which believe me, I don't do often), she usually replied with harsh comments, when all I needed was some moral support. Even worse, I started only seeing her when she needed something, like a ride, money or to go somewhere else, but we barely went out on an actual date just the two of us.

With that, time passed and I didn't even wanted to even comment on anything about myself because of how harsh she was with me, but still I was with her... Until this week.

She told she was going to stay with the grandparents and she would continue her life there.
I was somewhat shocked, but that was when I found out she was staying there before she told me, which was like a week before she actually mentioned it to me.

I will be honest here and mentioned that, yes, I deeply cared about her.
Being mostly a lone person myself, I did have a cherished feeling, a deep affection and love to her person.
I tried to help her and support her in everything that was humanly possible to me, but it saddened me to know that it wasn't reciprocate, even though we were supposed to be in a relationship.

As time passed, and after our first half a year together, I started noticing that she was stopping to make any kind of kind gesture to me, not even a kiss, heck not even a single hug nor a hand grab at all.
I knew that was when it started to go downhill.

But until this past week, it all came to an end.

I asked her if I could still go to the capital and see her during weekends or when I had free days at work during the week, but she refused. I was making my best effort to try to work it out, believe me, I did, but right after I asked her if I could see her there, she basically responded with a solid "For what?".
That's when I knew that was it, I then proceeded to ask her if she really wanted to keep trying to maintain the relationship at a distance, as I could go there in free days and it's like 3 hours away, but instead of just giving an honest and kind "No" in response, she continued to reply back with horrible comments about my self being, every little nit-pick she ever had in our relationship, she brought them back and at full force, even telling me even more offending things which go into a more personal level.

I didn't even paid real attention to that, since I knew if I did it would have been worse to me and my own psyche.
I do still care for her, a lot, and really loved her, without a doubt she was the person which has touched my life more than anyone else, but I guess this was for the best, as it clearly shows that she didn't have any kind of affection to my person.

What saddens me the most is that, because I have no person close to me at all, I have no one to talk to, no one to ask for a helping hand, not even a hug to even ease to an extent the pain, sadness and depression I currently have.

I know I have to just get rid of her and her memories, but with the added lack of any other close person, I will have to go through this alone, struggling with my own mind until I manage to find a way out of all this mess by myself.


I just wanted to get this out of my system for a while, to hopefully relieve the pain somehow.
Hope this doesn't bother anyone.

That sounds like an awful relationship, perhaps even crossing over to abusive (isolating a person from any other support structure is part of the playbook, the emotional stuff another). I imagine it sucks now but hopefully you can be glad one day.
Hate to be the guy linking a ted talk but they do have some good stuff


"I know I have to just get rid of her and her memories"
Never forget, do move on though. By forgetting you risk repeating your mistakes and that is not good at all.

If your family are still around and are people worth knowing (if they are not then consider what person arrived at that conclusion) maybe start by getting (back) in contact with them. If not there are plenty of ways to meet people as an adult.

It will get better, hope it gets better quicker than that though.

@the_randomizer @VinsCool @DeoNaught
Thank you guys for your kind offer on the PM.
I might do so, but right now I don't want to be a bother at the moment since things are still really fresh :/

@FAST6191
Thank you for that, and indeed, getting rid of her memories will not be good on a long term.
It wasn't really she who made me become isolated from everyone else, it was me with the pass of time, simply my so called "friends" where not really friends and simply no one sought me out.
However I did stay away from some female friends due to her slight jealousy at first, but it didn't matter anyway cause I didn't talk to them as often tho.

I might just need some change in some aspect of my life, or something, just get out of the monotony, but we'll see. Right now I don't feel so good at all. :/

Why don't you have any real friends? They help you get over this kind of stuff even if you don't tell them how you're feeling. Just hanging out with them would make you feel better.

@invaderyoyo I tried to at least hang out with someone just to relief some of the stress and constant reminding about it, but the people I know seems to simply not have the time slot to try to be with me, even if it's just for some minutes. They might not care about my issues or maybe have more important issues to attend, beats me. But yeah, even if I wanted to seek out other people, I'm screwed anyway.

I, too, am one of those people who keeps a lot of secret and don't express myself to others(mostly in real life). This reminded me a little bit when I got friendzoned (Still am), I kept it all a secret until now from my parents.

Oh man.... I really don't know how to help.... But if you wanna let it out and talk to me, feel free to do so. I may not help, but I'm comprehensive.

I'm practically like you, i have almost no friends, i don't get out of my house, i don't talk with anyone i even don't hug anyone but for some people it's normal, and girls, no one will never understand this creature XD
You just should not stand still waiting for a miracle to fall from the sky, you have to run for the things you want and not give up.

Well there's always strip clubs. LOL JK

Think of it this way, you are better off and this is the worst you will ever feel. Only uphill from here! Time will slowly move faster.

Too bad about the friends being lame, by far the best thing for me when I'm down is to go with my buddies and drink while playing golf (best stress relief ever!). But the independent things on my list were:
1) Hit the gym
2) Watch a tv series (the inbetweeners is one of my favorites, on netflix)
3) Play a video game
4) Go to the driving range and work on my golf
5) Program or work on a personal project
6) Go for a jog or walk with my dog (met some girls this way heh)

Hope you feel better man, trust me there is somebody else out there who will go well with you, just be patient and stay positive. I always had relationships when I was positive, confident, and happy it's like girls can sense that. Work on taking care of you and doing some of the things you are good at to help you heal.

Good luck!

Of course, girls love confidence.

That is why I don't have a girlfriend... I literally question everything.

Thank you guys, seriously, for the support and good wishes from your part.
I do have very present that this was indeed for the better, there were times in which I was very close of ending it myself due to how fucking awful she treated me.

But indeed, all in due time.
I am sure I can find a much better woman which isn't such a superficial major bee-itch to me.
But all in time... I will see what kind of activities are in the school to maybe distract me somewhat.

Well that how it is in 2017 people always busy. Except its been like that for me all the time. But for me is different. I can't really tell you the problem but i can only say that is a POV kind of thing so is observation based on opinions, not really facts.

The problems with socializing, at least for me has always been the people i encounter shows lack of interest, so that is how that work. To be more specific, try talking to someone, ask them simple question.

"Hello, how are you?" Be ready to know two things that can get replied.
  1. Fine = Lack of interest to have conversation
  2. I am doing well (something similar response) followed by asking how you are or anything else. = Interest in conversation with you.
In this case ME, i usually get the number one answer of "FINE" Which as i said shows lack of interest. Could you have put more thought into something? FINE. Is one word, is straight to the point and very much just like salt on a open wound. Is almost as bad as those people who always talk in acronyms, short and to the point, they really seem like they don't wanna be bothered either right now or with you. Could you have said more? How your day is going? What you do, anything interesting wish to share? A question to ask me?

For a person who been diagnosed with aspergers syndrome, i been to therapist, counsolers, and psychologist, most of the time they disclose information about body language, but is not easy concept to understand. Just know that there is peoples "Natrual Habits" that have them on edge, not every one can see them as some are propery well hidden. I suppose is somewhat common for like poker players with the poker face. But enough of that.

Sometimes is just hard making friends, either online or in real life. Not everyone is so lucky or easily taken by simple stuff, We understand the idea, what to do and how to proceed with socializing but is still troubles people. Just know that is all luck based, as some people are just incompatible so if you don't get work done as soon as you expecting it, the next one is always different experience.

@Sonic Angel Knight yes indeed.
That's something I have also noticed, and most people only reply with a cutting response as FINE, instead of asking back how you are.
This has to do more with a selfish kind of attitude I dare to say, where people only care about themselves and not about others.
In that case, I suffer of selflessness in a pretty hard degree, I usually tend to not care much about myself but overdo myself when it comes to the few people I care about.

How do i reply to fine? Well since as i demostrated shows lack of intrest to conduct conversation i can either do two things.

  1. Keep going, continue and try to find something to spark the fire with.
  2. Cut it short and end it there.
Usually unless i can add more idea of conversation that isn't to cliche (Like weather, news or recent events) I go with option 2. The reason i would use option one is if i have more ideas. But meeting someone for first time usually don't have much to go by but appearence, especially if they aren't willing to share anything to piggyback off of.

Hello How are you today?"
Fine.
Okay that is good i suppose. So umm what's on your mind?
Nothing at the moment.
Alright, so anything interesting happened today?
Nope.
Well how bout any plans?
Nothing at the moment.

Is just example of my conversations with people. Is more different in some cases but use of common negative words that tends to express no interest in conversation.:unsure:
