RogueAC Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 After dealing with an extremely difficult break up and perspective changing heartbreak, I realize that I may have unknowingly caused this type of heartache and heartbreak for other people in my life. Lately, now as I am casually dating and developing new friendships, I feel very apprehensive and uneasy about my ability to trust and open myself to new people. I am anxious not only about being hurt again, but also about potentially hurting other people. Any thoughts on how to navigate these worries? Link to post Share on other sites
CarrieT Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm right there with you, my friend.... Can't offer advice but am just trying to be truthful and honest with people I am dating, but can't get past the idea that I am being lied to or deceived. Link to post Share on other sites
Author RogueAC Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 CarrieT, thanks for the thoughts. I am also trying to be very honest and open with the people I am dating. can't get past the idea that I am being lied to or deceived. I think I am less worried about this because I feel fairly confident in my ability to recognize the intentionally deceitful. I am really scared that I am going to meet some great guy and as things start to progress to the next level, I won’t be able to commit to the relationship or him. That I will feel too “damaged” to fall in love again. I am scared that I will cause someone else to go through what I went through this summer (i.e. heartbreak, loss, etc.) not because I lied to them or deceived them, but because I realize after being together for x amount of time, that he is not the right person for me and want or need to end the relationship.
