Am really depressed right now :-(

Posted by Fallen Angel on April 12, 2004, at 15:22:05

I don't know but I think that I am wierd or something. Why can't I fall in love with people??
I mean all these guys I dated, after a few days I got tired of them and dumped them. I don't know why!! Am 20 years old and the first time(maybe even last time) I was in love was with my teacher!
Really,after that NOTHING!! And that was 6-7years ago. Now am dating this nice sweet guy and I THOUGHT I was in love with him,man what a mistake!
Am thinking of dumping him too. What is wrong with me??? I really can't take this anymore. Its very depressing seeing al your friends have a relationship and you just keep seeing all these guys after guys.

Take heart. I made plenty of poor choices and have thrown myself at totally inappropriate men looking for happiness and love. It took me YEARS to stop this cycle of self deception, sadness, betrayal, withdrawl, etc.

When I decided that it wasn't THEM, it was ME who had the problem, I stopping dating and concentrated on being happy within myself. Don't worry about friends who are dating, in love, getting married, having kids... they are not YOU! You have your own personal done-ometer (like what they put in turkeys that pop up when they are done cooking). Let your personal development come first, and don't judge yourself by others' standards. Think of yourself as a lifetime project, and a worthwhile one at that.

Don't feel bad, you're still very young and have plenty of time to meet someone. Alot of people *settle* early on because they don't want to be alone. But they regret it later, I've seen it time and time again.
I'm 34 and haven't fallen in love yet either. I want to more than anything! But they say you find love when you stop looking for it. So try to relax and just enjoy the dating! :-)
