Topicless thread

A year ago I probably would have been on the "don't-let-a-girl-get-you-down-in-the-dumps / other fish in the sea bandwagon", but a relationship has pretty thoroughly changed my point of view. It would be hypocritical of me to say either one now, since I wouldn't be able to move on if the same happened to me.

I partially blame it on my bordering-on-asexuality-demisexuality and aromanticism - in my "normal" state I don't get (romantic/sexual) crushes, don't find people attractive in more than an aesthetic sense and don't want romantic companionship or any such relationship, which means I don't look for potential companions or accept come-ons from people. But I can feel attraction in the same way than any other non-asexual person can - physically and romantically - though unlike non-asexual people it's not a sex, gender, or type of people I'm attracted to. While I have no "type", it takes an existing friendship, an extremely special combination of mental, emotional and physical traits AND a certain I-don't-know-what to make fall for a person. So far, about 4 people have been able to, and I've only gotten past the "crush" stage with one.

So in my case, yes, I do know that if I mess something up I might not get (or want) another chance.

Yet it's not limited to romantic relationships - I've been "dumped" by a fair (read: large) number of friends, and while I can look back and agree that I'm better off without most of those people, there are a few who I'm still really hurt over, even after a number of years.

I'VE BEEN DUMPED NUMEROUS TIMES
AND DUMPED PEOPLE 3 TIMES
ON BOTH ENDS, IT HURTS, BUT IT'S BETTER TO MAKE A CLEAN BREAK, LIKE A BAND-AID RIP

TAKE, FOR INSTANCE, WHEN I DUMPED AN EX-BOYFRIEND NAMED WILL
IT WAS AN INTERNET RELATIONSHIP, AND I WASN'T SATISFIED JUST PRETENDING TO HUG AND WHAT NOT
BY THE END, I WAS ONLY WITH HIM OUT OF PITY, SINCE HE SEEMED TO BE SO ALONE
I FIGURED THAT WASN'T FAIR TO HIM, TO ONLY BE WITH HIM OUT OF PITY
SO I DUMPED HIM AND CUT OFF ALL CONTACT
SINCE IT WAS BETTER THAN DRAGGING IT OUT

I CAN TELL YOU FROM EXPERIENCE THAT AFTER BEING DUMPED, IT WAS MUCH LESS PAINFUL TO JUST CUT OFF THE DYING LIMB
WHEN YOU LINGER AND CLING AND PRETEND THAT EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE OK, YOU ONLY PROLONG YOUR PAIN
WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN, YOU NEED TO FACE THEM AND OVERCOME THEM, INSTEAD OF HIDING OR IGNORING THEM
IT IS ONLY IN THIS WAY IN WHICH WE CAN SURVIVE

IF SHE DUMPED YOU, MOVE ON. MAYBE YOU CAN BE FRIENDS, BUT IF SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU IN A ROMANTIC WAY, YOU NEED TO ACCEPT THAT
