Hello everyone,
I was in long distance relationship with a guy few months ago. Everything was well between him and me though he wasn’t my type. But we didn’t care all these imperfections at all. What mattered to us was just love. We couldn’t meet each other often since he lived in another district which was quite far from the city I lived. All our conversation was through social networks. We used to have little fights here and there because I wasn’t ready to get adjusted with everything since I lived my life for other people but not for me. Besides, I had turned out be some rude and harsh girl because of other people around me and the way they made use of my innocence and caring personality and proved me wrong about this beautiful world. I was totally hard with my boyfriend yet I loved him much deeper than anyone. But I had no idea how to express my love towards him. All the insecurity about losing him and the low level of confidence about me resulted in a sickening relationship. Meanwhile, something went wrong, I still feel so ew about myself though it all happened without my sense. “I moved closer with guys in social network” I want to tell one thing that I’m damn innocent when it comes about people and stuff. My boyfriend figured it out and he was totally hurt and he began cussing me and I don’t blame him for that because anyone would be hurt in his place. Sooner we had to break up because he fell in love with a friend of mine, I couldn’t hold myself and I brought out the monster in me. But he kept pointing at the mistakes with guys as if I was some slut. I convinced him saying that I’m not such girl in real life of mine and I tried everything but he never listened it all. I feel so ashamed of myself. If I were smarter maybe I would have avoided the scenes but I wasn’t. I thought everybody was good around and fell into pit without having any idea about it. I haven’t touched a single guy in my real life, I’m looked upon as a real angelic girl by everyone around my house and in my institution but when it comes about this damned social network because of my ex boyfriend, because of those two guys I began feeling like I’m a prostitute or something like that. Now I’m away from everything. I stopped contacting my ex and the friend with whom he’s in love with, I deactivated the account in the social network and I’m totally away from society. But every night I feel haunted by the memories and wonder whether my boyfriend was right about me, that I’m some prostitute. I often tell myself that it was just some social networking not my real life and I did not do any such thing in my life and that I must forget it all but I just can’t. This feeling og guilty always kills me everytime and I have considered myself as some untrustworthy person. Since I have no closed ones who can be trusted with my secrets I can’t share with anybody and I die every night without sleep. I totally feel so low about myself. I just need your help. I feel so suicidal sometimes I don’t want anything but I have to live for my family and they have no clue about what’s going on in my life. I’m tired of trying to help myself and I need advice. I just want someone to shout at me that I’m not a bad person and prove me wrong ;'(July 19, 2015 at 10:59 am #80090AnonymousGuestDear thefallenone:
I read your story in the other thread, about your ex step father and how he beat and almost killed you and your mother. your mother married him so that he will protect you two from strange men knocking on the door but he turned out to be the threat himself. This ex step father had a great influence on your young mind and life (You are 16).
you want, in this thread “someone to shout at (you) that (you’re) not a bad person.”
You used the word “shout”- is it because your ex step father used to shout at you? Is there a voice in you now shouting at you… that you are a bad person?
If there is such a voice in you, shouting, tell it to lower its voice,lower the volume. Tell it this is not the way to talk to you. When you talk to yourself, talk kindly, with a soft, gentle voice to yourself.
No, you are not a prostitute (did you have a sexual contact with a person and did that person pay you for it? If so you prostituted yourself then; if not so- you did not). And I bet you are not a bad person- you did not deserve the abuse by your ex step father and you could not have protected your mother against his abuse. You are not responsible for the circumstances that brought that man into your life. You are not responsible for your mother’s experience in life.
Does any of this help you?

I’m sorry this happened to you. It must be very difficult to go through this all by yourself. There are no perfect relationships, but long distance relationships are even tougher. I think it’s disrespectful that he cursed at you regardless of the situation. You did not have any physical relationship with these people on social network, so you are nowhere near being a prostitute. Besides, you haven’t even been physical with any men. I don’t think it’s kind to you to label yourself as a prostitute. I am wondering if you got closer to these men on social media because there was something lacking in your relationship? Is there something they gave you that was missing in your relationship? For example compliments, acknowledgement,time, communication, validation or even understanding? Sometimes when we are upset with ourselves we can project this onto others to hide our shame/guilt. It may be that he was already involved with this other girl and wanted out of the relationship so he made you feel badly about yourself.
It seems as if you haven’t had much relationship experience, so i’m going to tell you that this is how we learn. We make mistakes that we know not to make the next time around. When we get to the person who is deserving of us, we will be ready for an honest and mature relationship. We all make mistakes. We learn about health, science, and English in school, but nobody tells us about communication and understanding and the ingredients for a good relationship. I promise things will get better with time, just allow yourself to grieve the relationship. Be kind to yourself as these feelings subside.
July 19, 2015 at 10:06 pm #80115BlueButterflyParticipantDear Anita and Annie, Thanks a lot! Your response meat a lot to me. I was in real need of advices from real persons. I was quite nervous about posting my problem that others might judge me but I was wrong! And yes, my ex sted dad has a great impact on my life, he made me realise how important a mother is to the child as well as his personality happened to make me trust that men are nothing ut monsters.
I wasn’t in any contact with guys, it was just that we talked closer but my ex made it huge issue. I wasn’t really happy with him but I stayed in the relationship. He never valued my feelings or never understood me clearly and that’s what killing me. Annie, I totally agree with you about relationships.
Thank youJuly 20, 2015 at 8:29 am #80128AnonymousGuestDear thefallenone:
When you meet again a man, or any person at all who disrespects you, who does not value you, your feelings, who doesn’t see you or try to see you as the valuable person that you are- get away from that person. Do not stay in relationship with that person. Do not try to make him see you or value you. Be selective WHO you allow into your life. As you already experienced, there are monsters in this world. Now that you know there are, from a very personal experience, say, if you will: never again.
It doesn’t have to be the very same kind of monster. Any person who really invalidates your feelings, treats you disrespctully, as if you are not important- is a monster in your life.
And please, do not assume that because there are monsters, that there has been a monster or monsters in your life, that it means that you have no value. This is the farthest from the truth. I know this truth from a very personal experience.
