Emotionalyze,
I want you to know you’re not alone. I know what it’s like to not have too many friends, and be at a loss for who to talk to about things. I also know how you feel about seemingly making the same mistake over again. I understand your thought process about a long distance relationship being “safer” in a way.
I have tried my hand at online dating websites, and it never seems to work. I think it’s too easy to put on a different facade online, than in person. I think these sites are great for meeting people as I’ve met many, but it’s never seemed too genuine. I totally understand still being able to see the good in someone, even after they’ve treated you ever so poorly.
Realize you deserve more than all of that. Personally, I’m taking a break from all things relationship until I have some much needed self-discovery time, figuring out how to effectively deal with my own anxiety and such. So I don’t know how helpful this is, but I hope you see you’re not alone through this.
I’m cheering for you.
