BritishBoy22 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hey all, So it's been 3 months since I got dumped. It was my first serious relationship and I got super attached. I attend a small college and had built my own little world consisting of my ex, our group of friends, and honestly not much else. When she left, I realized how much I had depended on her to be happy, and to this day, even though I'm trying to get back to my "normal" self and try out all types of new things, I still have moments where all I want to do is cry in my dorm. The sadness consumed me at the end of last semester, and I started thinking about transferring to another college just because every corner I turned here at my current college I either saw her or something/someone that reminded me of her. I read an article a while back about the difference between being alone and lonely, and alone and okay. I'm certainly not alone. My main friend group is still the group she and I were in, but she doesn't talk to them anymore. I've gotten more involved with some other organisations too and am generally more open to talking to "strangers" in class or around campus than I was before. But I still feel lonely... I'm still mulling over the idea of transferring. College is so short, and although I'm doing better than the end of last year, I still feel boxed in here (if that makes sense?) and I don't want to be somewhere I'll feel like that. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this situation, or just in general what you all did to cope with the ups and downs of post break-up reality Link to post Share on other sites
loveiswar101 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hey, College or High School was so long ago for me. But if can give any advice I say hang in there buddy. Don't make any rash decisions yet. A. Your young & B. Who knows what around the corner. 3 months is not a long time and it seems you are making great inroads with yourself, another 3 months you'll only be better for the experience. Id say persevere, the point you have come on here and shared your feelings is great and obviously are mature past your young years. Carry on meeting people, get involved in your organisations, make new friends, hang out have fun enjoy college. Just don't get sucked in feeling bad about whats happened. Life is to short. Wish you well, keep moving forward. Link to post Share on other sites
