Biological manipulation. You are programmed to return to the herd. And this programming and memory complex hurts. That's why we're here though. You can have your memories harm you. Or you can use them as life experiences which toughen you up and make you more resilient. We're here to guide you towards the latter. Strength in numbers. You are not alone. But there is another way. Our way.

Virtually every day. But it's not the sex life or cute shit. It's the fucking totally inhumane behaviors that not only put me off of females forever, but most of humanity as well.

'nam flashbacks?

If it makes you feel any better: You may have lost that one girl, but you now have access to the other 4 billion girls on Earth.

That was a side note though, because they're not worth it anyways.

C-PTSD. Seeing a place, a date on the calendar, or something someone says will trigger a now painful emotional memory with my ex-wife.

Yes. It's normal.

Look into Samatha meditation. It's easy and will help you control such intrusive thoughts.

Multiple times, every day. Mine were very bad before, like I could barely take the risk of driving myself to work due the danger of me having one on the road. It just takes time and a lot of willpower, but it's possible to reduce their frequency and severity by actively dealing with the memories. You probably flash back because the memories you have don't match the outcome of the relationship. Like "Why does this cute memory haunt me? Why does it attack me?" And the answer is because now that you know what you know about that person and that relationship, your brain is attempting to re-encode your memories so they make sense within your new perspective on reality. It makes sense to think of it in such a way that your brain hasn't dealt with the fundamental problems that occurred in the relationship, which causes a lot of confusion. Lack of closure might cause this, such as when you end a relationship with a woman and she immediately finds someone else. That doesn't make sense to a healthy, fully functioning brain. Your brain is attempting to reconcile the information by re-writing it in a new light. You can't "let it go" as that will make it worse, but if you walk yourself through the memory, and take our time, you'll eventually learn not to let memories hurt you, and you'll have established a degree of control over your emotional reaction to your own thoughts. Good luck!
