Emotions are hard to control as I found out recently.

I used to be like that, now I’m more cold hearted, I try not to get too attached because well… disappointment and hurt feelings one after the other repeatedly does that to you.

You’re young, it’s kinda normal.

So, I’m going to nag you a bit now, have you considered again talking to your mom?

Just face it , @eyeofRa

We all know this post is about me. About how you’re infatuated with my every word, and how you’ve slowly fallen in love with me.

It’s not your fault…you’re only human.

When i read your posts its like I’m looking at the younger version of myself. But you are pretty close to gain just enough of insight to avoid a big mistakes.
This is what I’d advice:

  • think pragmatically about your relations with people: if they are good to keep them on your side when times are tough, keep 'em, if not, don’t bother with them.
  • try to write down your emotions so you could make sense of it.
  • think about your reactions and why did you act the way you did.
  • Think about your fears and which one particularly drives you to individuals like your bf is; and which one makes you crave for emotional responses from other people.

When you get to know yourself better you’ll be able to have more control of yourself…

Also, I think that having a long talk with your mother is a good way to start thinking about your relationships with other people…
Because everything comes out from that primary connection.

I’m 57, and I still get screwy infatuations with different people. I think that in your case you will find more people just waiting for someone like you to fall into their clutches. I guess you can’t help your emotions, but try to keep the damage to your life to a minimum. Some things you can recover from easily, and other kinds of damage are not so easy to shrug off. Keep your wits about you. Try to be skeptical about other people. Don’t let people pressure you or bully you, if you can.

Something I’ve learned in my old age of 26

I used to not be a skeptic and I got pushed around

Being skeptical of ppl is empowering

Not everyone is as nice as you, and me.

Gotta learn to be a skeptic

That’s how most ppl grow to like you

If you aren’t this way you appear needy and you get yourself pushed around.
