Hi Ainka and Jess,
Thank you for your post guys.
Jess,
I’m keeping myself occupied with watching tv, going out for movie, cooking my favorite food, etc.
When it comes to sleeping, I still struggle with nightmares, but it has been a problem whenever I’m not with near and dear ones. #insecurity.
But becoming better each week…Thank you again for taking time out to write 🙂

You need to do some introspection and know if you’re ready for another relation. Has the hurt from the past healed yet?
Once you’re fine with yourself, you will be better able to see the compatibility matrix.Come out of the low phase, be in a neutral state of mind and then proceed for the next milestone.
Because of what had happened, you are judging things a little too much, which is natural but be fine, be yourself, rise up, check if you’re low on self-esteem, gain it back if so.
It might as well strike…’what if I lose her?’. Don’t be afraid/insecure/desperate. It’s better to be sure than sorry!
All the best and good luck!
Lots of positivity to you…
AnyoneParticipantHi Elfie,
I’m very glad to see that you have that fire in you to achieve and become something in life. That’s a very good sign, and you’re just out of your teenage!
In no way it is a problem.
Put down on a piece of paper what is it that you would want to do or achieve.
Take up higher education in a different city/country?
Which field would you want to pursue based on your interests AND
which field/stream has better scope for career. #basichomework.Let the fire ignite and turn the guilt into dreams/vision/mission/goal/aim.
Wish you All the Best!! God Bless you!
And if there’s something you don’t want; don’t do it unless it’s not for you too.
AnyoneParticipantHi Jasmine,
Greetings of the day!
You’re right. I agree every bit with your observation. I’m usually a strong person but some areas where I lack (mainly self-esteem, in childhood I had mixed humility with self-esteem/respect) and hence I have to struggle with myself now, which is good, because I know where I stand and need to rise from here.
My family looks up-to me, but when it comes to my matters, I end up with no one around. Earlier I had kept things to myself > never sought help > became lost > hence all the mess came as I hadn’t drawn a boundary; I don’t want to commit this mistake again, that’s why I keep posting here. I couldn’t be more grateful to all the TB members.
Thank you Jasmine..:-)
Matt,
Thanks a lot for your sound words. I have star marked it to refer whenever these feelings try to put me down.
And yes, understood how Loving Kindness Meditation would help…
Ruminant,
I could see the mirror..
AnyoneParticipantHey Jasmine,
How have you been? Thanks for your reply.
Do you mean that the problem is with me 🙁 ? Reading ‘professional therapy’ sounds to me like I’m sick, the problem exaggerator between me and her…:-(
Sometime back, I had sought counseling from a professional psychologist and she had suggested to either ignore (run away from her) or if she’s understanding enough, then to be upfront, clear and candid.
But the story took a completely different turn…. May be I could just continue ignoring everything…?
AnyoneParticipantPriscilla,
Love and Light to you…
Matt and sojourner,
I think your post refers to Loving Kindness Meditation? Well, with all respect to your post and the concept of this meditation. I have a doubt…I have faced bullies when I was a child and since then I became a reserved and quiet person, for I was scared to answer back to bullies and questions where my personal life was pointed.
Till date (I’m 28 now), I face situations where neighbors/colleagues point out something about my life (m divorced but they don’t know) to put me down. Isn’t it necessary to reply them to draw the boundaries.
Please correct me and help me understand…because I feel if I practice Loving Kindness Meditation, I might just ignore people’s comments and not reply them, eventually they will conquer my personal space and cross the limit.
Why I feel this is – whenever I will face such situations; the ‘forgiving’ part will play in my mind, and I might just remain dumb.
Please share your views.
AnyoneParticipantHi Nikki,
We consider the world is against us, when we are with low self-esteem. I’m going through a similar phase. Working towards building self-esteem, so that I don’t go wrong at workplace at least. And I have done similar faux pas with my college friends long ago. When we’re lost, it happens. Accept it as a part of life too and move on by taking care of yourself.
Please ignore all/any harsh comments you’re receiving at this time. Whatever is happening is only because you’re low. That’s why you need to take care of yourself, give yourself the love and care you deserve.

Love n Light to you….Take care.
Everything will be fine. If it’s not right, it’s not the end.
AnyoneParticipantKelly and Purpose, thank you for your reply.
Kelly, it was in sense of ‘thank you for accepting the flowers’. And had a note saying…Seasons change and life will take you where you belong to – In my arms. Is love alive? Care always!
It seems more of manipulation. She is a stone butch; who likes to have girls falling for her.
I do try to overlook all this; but everyday there is some mail from her; bugs my peace of mind. And comes a point where I feel, WHEN will I be away from manipulation??? And I feel bad for myself, Am I such a fool that people just come in my life, manipulate me, make fun of me at my back……..It really hurts sometimes no matter how much I try to move on.
Thanks once again for reading and being there!
AnyoneParticipantHi RDB,
I can understand your situation, for I have been through being ‘unemployed’. I had no support from my fiance, family was strong. One of my uncles supported me, asked me to stay at his place and not go back to my hometown which is a small city with less opportunities.
I can understand that you must have a lot of financial responsibilities. Hold your head high. Be strong. It’s not the end of the world. Take out and throw the fear out of you. Take support of your near and dear ones and sail through this tough time. Take a deep breath and think out of the box for what could be other ventures and possibilities of employment.
Stay strong!
AnyoneParticipantHi Matt,
Thanks for your reply. For full story, please refer http://dev.tinybuddha.com/topic/a-divorce-and-a-breakup-with-a-lesbian/
Yes I was lost and I took emotional support, may be I should have taken from family and not fallen for her.
But now that she knows that I don’t share the same feelings as a lesbian; I prefer to part ways to do justice to both. (I was not comfortable playing the role of a guy, things that generally a guy does in a relation. Initially it was different; she would play the role of a guy, gradually she started expecting me as well to do that part, and somewhere I felt, it’s not me, it’s not that I don’t take care of her, but from a woman it’s different than a guy does). And everything would boil down to ‘mutual’. Then I realized may be it’s not me, I have more traits of a straight person rather than a lesbian.
But she is behaving as if she doesn’t know anything. She wants to know if I’m fine, how am I, how are my days, how is my family. It’s the same thing she was doing earlier, follow me and still have another life outside. It’s more like manipulation for me; because she knows I was weak.
I have blocked her on messages and calls; what she doesn’t understand to be sending mails and still following. It simply disturbs my peace of mind. May be she wants this.
AnyoneParticipantBenny,
Sometimes we know deep within the reason of any person’s behavior but we are just not able to accept it/or don’t want to.
So if you think that it was your behavior at fault; you will have to make up for it, give her even more wonderful moments and days for her to come back. May be she is waiting for this from your end.
But if it is just a guilt for no fault; please don’t blame yourself for anything and everything.
Put your thinking cap on and move in the right direction.
In my experience; in tough times, it’s better to be strong, with a sound state of mind and take wise decisions. So please don’t be lost, for I understand your feelings and what you’re going through.
We are here to support you! Do the right thing!
Love and Light!
AnyoneParticipantHi Benny,
My heart reaches out to you and your family as I read this! It’s hard to cope up with this situation; it might take time, but it will pass and everything will be fine.
It’s hard to believe that your wife wants to move out, yet not able to move out. May be a guilt factor is holding her back. Please try to find out if there’s any woman in her life. The chances are there is one.
Above all, you need to let her go and follow the path she wants to. Holding back doesn’t do any good to either one.
It’s good to see that you guys are taking things in a peaceful manner, which is generally unusual. God bless you guys!
February 22, 2014 at 7:17 am in reply to: Im confused on this situation on why he acts like that?any hope of my exbf back? #51541AnyoneParticipantCasey,
How many other such things are there apart from sex that if you deny; he would want to break the relation and go angry.
And, it sounds more like a competition than a relation! The girl who gives more of sex, wins!
Please gear-up your senses and think sensibly.
AnyoneParticipantKelly,
I have been in similar completely manipulative relation for 6 years. I can understand your mindset at this point of time.
Let go the fear that he has planted in your mind.
It’s better to deal with such ex; by being practical and talking plain sense. It used to break my ex; into day dreaming like…OMG now what to do? He would still try to manipulate.Anyways…
Only thing I would say is in all your communications with your ex, please be very practical, calm, straight-forward. When we fear, it makes space for manipulation.
When you become strong and show strength; you will notice things falling in place.
Love n Light to you!
February 20, 2014 at 6:04 am in reply to: Obsessing for a girl that I have only seen for 4 days #51428AnyoneParticipantHi Alexy,
It’s really appreciable that you respected her and thought about long-term before getting physical.
But why would you want to lose hopes, even before starting the relation? For sure, long-distance relationships are difficult to maintain; but still I think, you could at least give it a try?
All the Best and Good Luck!
Cheers!
