For all of you struggling, just know that at some point she will become a distant memory and you will laugh and feel embarrassed over the oneitis. Hang in there.

So much suffering we experience is caused by us wanting to control things we really have no control over.
Great line. If reddit had signatures, this would be sig-worthy for me.

Don't outsource your happiness! Fuck yeah. We need to love ourselves before we expect others to love us. And, in regard to your point #2, when I went through alcoholics anonymous, I learned a very very valuable little prayer that has chilled me out just like you're saying up here. It's this:
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I can. And the wisdom to know the difference."
That one has always worked me wonders. Keep on brotha, you'll get better every day. Solid little post.

Ah yeah man the serenity prayer, I know it as well and it's a beautiful summary of how to deal with a lot of this as well. Thanks for the reminder!

Another thing I'd mention is lifting weights. Lifting helps me get over emotional pain almost instantly. I have no idea why it freaks me out to be honest, but I got over my recent 7 month relationship very quickly in 3 days. 3 days I was able to sleep like a baby again she was obviously on mind still, but not for long. Now I'm simply not worried about break ups.

Absolutely man, that's why I mention it in point 1. I do agree it's importance really cannot be understated.
[–]fr3shsrt1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Appreciate the post. Am in a similar situation, and I need to learn that I can't rely on other people to make me happy
[–]TruthSeekaaaaa0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'm struggling on this one. I mean, it seems I cannot internalize that. Probably we should work way more on ourselves and it will come off naturally

Thanks for sharing. This is the exact thing I have been going through and try to cope with with the point you layed out. However there's still that thought in the back of my head of whether she'll try to contact me again or hear from here ever again. I now I'll never be in a relationship with her ever again but just seeing her or hearing from her or just fucking her would be nice, maybe be cause she was the one who dumped me.
So any updates on that girl you were talking about in the post?
[–]cyanidez[S] 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I hear you bro. And look, those thoughts won't go away until you successfully do number 3. You can transfer some of that need for attention to a next cool girl, but most importantly you need to become self-reliant for your own acceptance and love. That's the only way to deal with the point you're struggling with.
As far as update on that girl: YES! Turns out she drove to the next town to be with her family (showed me photos and videos) and just to go see her dogs that she missed. Then, as soon as she got home early that evening, she messaged me, came over and we had a great evening together. Didn't fuck but insane amounts of kissing and groping and I'm going over to hers tomorrow night to seal the deal.
Long story short - I am giving myself a self-5 for not messaging her first. Thank God I didn't cave in to my neurosis but rather dealt with it and had a good afternoon on my own after that. And today I feel like I honestly couldn't give a fuck anymore, and in a very good way. My life is awesome and I almost can't believe I put it on hold like that for a girl, no matter how great she is.
However there's still that thought in the back of my head of whether she'll try to contact me again or hear from here ever again
Yesterday I blocked a woman but I have the same thoughts as you are having. Probably you hope to have the girl back. I'd like to have her back, not because I've cherished her, but for ego issues. I can't wrap my head around the fact I wasn't worthy to her.
Anyway I just open up a thread in the main sub, if you like to comment you are more than welcomed :)

Great advice. Thanks for sharing.

Fuck 10 other girls. Problem solved.
[–]cirrusice0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Overkill. 2-3 girls is enough I think.
[–]cyanidez[S] 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I have to agree.

(Serious, non-mainstream) Buddhism and Zen are about learning what your post summarizes quite well — just with regards to not solely females but all the outer world, and our own mind, generally.
The track is the right one already for you.

Thinking about the other dick she is seeking/taking helps cure oneitis real quick
Sure takes her off the pedestal real fast.
