When you get rejected by someone. Someone that doesn't feel the same way for you. How are you supposed to act like it doesn't bother you? How are you supposed to act like nothing ever happened? God, I have been praying forever and talking to him to erase her from my thoughts. Erase her from my mind, and she's STILL there.

What the hell?

I am sick of this. I can't take this anymore. Knowing that I can never have her. What sucks even more is that we're both in the same class together again, and here I am wishing I can just let it go. The whole reason and purpose thing with God telling me that she was the girl for me, was all b.s.

I actually believed it. Only to find she doesn't feel the same way? Wtf?

Love doesn't exist. I give up. Here I am in class pretending that it doesn't bother me? Yeah right. Someone gave me advice saying NOT to show that I'm depressed about this situation. And that I should just move on? HAHA!!! Right!

Is it okay to show that I'm actually tearing up inside???

How the hell is that possible? Wow, this is the reason why people go crazy. Because God made life SO crazy.

I give up. Stupid rules. Stupid games. Stupid signs of what could be love? It's NOT love. It never was and I wish I never met her!

Complete SH*T. Now I have to suffer for a whole semester.

Starkweather agony auntRejection hurts. Such is life. I've been rejected plenty of times and it's always hurt, but the fact of the matter is that you TRIED, and that's important.

So you have a few choices. You simply can't force someone to care about you. Moping around will not change that. You can continue to obsess over something that won't be, you can close yourself off emotionally and thus guarantee isolation when it comes to relationships or you can stand tall and continue the search for someone who will reciprocate your feelings.

HereAreMyTwoCents agony auntOk, you yourself said it's NOT LOVE. Keep that thought in mind. Eventually your mind and heart will adjust to the thought. Eventually you will move on. You will be a different person. No one ever said life or love was easy. And now you're finding out just how not easy it can be. Just calm down, take a deep breath, and realize that what you are going through people go through all the time. I know that just because you are not alone feeling this, does not make it any easier. But you live and you learn, and most importantly DO NOT EVER GIVE UP ON LOVE. If you do, you will feel even worse. When it's real love, they will love you back, and you will know it's real love.

calm down.. everyone has failed relationships, everyones been dumped.

every relationship no matter how much pain we experience theres always a lot to learn and helps us to learn what qualities we do want in a partner and what we dont. you need to except it and hey theres plenty of fish in the sea.

dont allow it to depress you.. its only a girl after all and your still young, theres plenty more time to meet people.

i always said the best revenge is moving on and them seeing you really happy and successful as then they realise what a terrible mistake they made but your too beyond to even care, NEVER GO BACK TO OLD FLAMES! always got to move forward.

goodluck!
