Definitively it does NOT sound stupid. If I tell you the truth, every time I hear it from someone relating to their story, I shiver in pain, because I know how terrible and how easily one can break to tears of despair. I could give some advices although I know the pain is there in any case.

1) First you need to know yourself. What kind of emotional personality you are. Ironically I would always warn lonely people from engaging in love relationships, because on the one hand, they are not “qualified” to make a proper choice, and second, they are not stable enough to take the blow.

2) The cruel injustice is that people who less need love because they have a lovely family of parents and brothers, they dont suffer that much when they are engaged in some love relationship, neither while in, nor while out.

So, try to understand yourself to which group you belong, as that will help you take the real measure of how and why you are suffering so much. Once you understand things, it will help you to a level that will surprise you.
