This is my first post on the suicide project. I used to post my thoughts on fb (on a page, a sort of suicide helpline) but then my friends could see the posts on ticker and that made me feel awkward. This is a part of myself I don’t want them to see. They don’t deserve to know the secrets of my heart, they haven’t earned the right.
Every time I have liked a guy, he had chosen some other girl over me. This has done some serious damage to my ego. I look in the mirror and the girl who stares back at me, is beautiful. She has a nice smile, soft eyes, a good height, wavy black hair and a prominent personality. A girl who can hold her own in any conversation and can carry most of the dresses well. A girl who should be loved and cherished.
But so far, I haven’t had any luck in this department. Here I would like to clarify that guys do fall for me. But not the ones I really like. I try giving a chance to the ones who do like me though. But it never reaches anywhere. Maybe by now I am quite set in my patterns, and cannot allow anyone to push through the bullshit and reach me. I always find a way to push them away.
I miss their attention afterwards though. But I know it was for the best because I had only been tolerating them. Love should come naturally. whenever it does, it somehow doesn’t find its way back to me. I have my baggage to carry. I know! But in my most troubled times, a guy came along. It felt that I no longer had to be strong, that I could rely on his strength. Then suddenly he pulled away. His last words to me were, ” You are strong, u can deal with this alone.” He fell in love with another girl right in front of me. He did for her every thing I wanted him to do for me. Treated her the way I wanted to be treated. It ripped my heart out. I accepted him for all his flaws and faults. I let myself fall in love, I dove in head first, without a safety net. I got hurt. When he was finally out of my life, it took me many months to over come this. I thought of dying often during that time, of committing suicide. Why was it so easy for him to love her? What is wrong with me? Why not me? All i want is to be loved by someone I can love back. Someone I have something common with. Someone I can hold a conversation with. Someone with whom love and life get a meaning.
I often think of ending it all. My youth will finally leave me one day. Then what? Then I will not have even this much chance to find love. I am miserable, yet I cannot bring myself to settle for anything less that the real thing. Why am I so hard to love? Why can’t the man of my dreams just find me. I don’t want to compete for someones love. I don’t want to come between two people. but it invariably is the case. and I always loose! I am in love again, this time too, the same situation has arrived. I can match wits with this man, have opinions, laugh and dream, care……. the other girl, well I don’t know her,,,,, but it is hard to believe that she gels better with him. I will not come between them if he chooses her. If they can build a beautiful future together then by heavens they should. But I don’t want to live to begrudge them their happiness. I don’t want to live a sour, bitter person. I don’t hate myself. If I do decide to take my life it would be because I have had enough of being invisible, of being unloved.

Ok plainjane, time for you to fall in love with yourself . Quit wasting your beautiful inner self on guys that don’t appreciate it. Get busy. Do things for you. Let me make this clear…YOu DO NOt NEED A BOY TO MAKE YOU HAPPY. Be independent and boys will fall at your feet! Your young, you have your entire life ahead to find love. I didn’t find my true love till I was 35. For 20 yrs it was one heart break after another. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me for the longest time. Then one day I got fed up and grew a back bone, told myself “I only deserve the best!” That’s the day I started to love me! When you have respect for yourself you will except nothing less! Be thankful your finding out now and that those guys left you because do you really want to be with someone who will trade you in? No way! True love does not makes trades. Be confident and let others see how strong you are. You’ll have the world at your finger tips!
Always falling for someone and they end up choosing someone else. It hurts a lot. I know that pain too well. What hurts worse…is when the person says they want you…but they really don’t…they’re just desperate. So when a better offer comes along you become old news…and you’re by yourself again. It hurts…a lot…different person…same old story…same old excuses…but BLACK HOLE IS COMPLETELY CORRECT you have to love yourself….I also know I need to do that as well…its hard…but…it has to be done in order for us to be able to really love another…
blackhole,
i love your advice! i was the same way till i grew a nut sack! sorry i had to joke around,really your advice was moving.
“I try giving a chance to the ones who do like me though.”
Hmm… I only think this is worth doing if you’re attracted too. Otherwise, I think it might just screw up your compass?
I think you need to get to know rejection. You need to start actually asking guys you are attracted to out, and frequently. Gradually, your skin might grow thicker. And I also think doing this will increase your odds of finding a relationship you actually enjoy.
Thanks all of you for your comments. @Black hole, at the end, rocket man, muspelhem, you all are quite right and seems like you too have suffered through all this before. I don’t feel this shitty all the time though,,,, there are moments and yesterday was one. @muspelhem, asking guys out is hard, fear of rejection gives me cold feet. But i will surely try. I am focusing on myself, but it is when people remind me that I am missing an important part of life and so and so is getting married, or that one just had a kid, it hurts. My only response is that it is good for them! I think I just get tired of trying… that’s all 🙂 @Black hole I am so glad you found true love. It gives me hope that all this pain and suffering will eventually lead me to someone worth my while.
plain jane,
Remember “someone worth my while” may not be only hansom it’s what’s on the inside which truly counts, in the end that’s all that counts. i’m not saying anything i’m just throwing it out there.
