    Dear blkhwkdwn1:

    A good development: you and her being close friends, you not being consumed by her anymore, nervous, unhappily waiting for contact from her- very good development.

    Hey long time no post. Since I have last posted i’ve lost 60 pounds doing the ketogenic diet (took me 5 months) and feeling much better since I started eating better and using my bicycle as a means for excercising. Had to call 9-11 for my dad a month ago, he ended up having surgery to fix 2 hernias and he’s still recovering. As for the girl? not messaged her in 3 months, don’t think about her that often unlike before where I could not get her out of my mind. But I do have a new problem…

     

    Lately I been thinking about an ex girlfriend of mine I had 17 years ago (lol) back when I was 16 and she was 14, but it was an internet girlfriend. Looked her up on facebook and her name and school match but it’s been inactive for 8 years, so good luck seeing if that was really her or not, her picture she had she worked at hooters. She was my first girlfriend even if it was an online relationship, she was my first love if you called that love, although her ex that still loved her ended his life because I was dating her and not him (again online, who knows if it was real). Would not mind reliving some of the moments I had with her if I could rewind the clock or have a lucid dream of it or something. Or even knowing if I could somehow reach her and learn about her. Even a year after she broke up with me we both said we still miss eachother, even with a different internet girlfriend I had that took me away from being around her and all my online friends so I could be with her friends instead. That was a huge regret, ohwell. Doubt she has ever thought of me since then lol, I just started remembering because of a favourite song of hers was on youtube.

     

    What’s up with you?

    Dear blkhwkdwn1:

    Welcome back to your thread and I am doing  fine,  thank you.

    Congratulations for getting to a healthier physical body weight and shape. You’ve been thinking about an old internet girlfriend. But since you look better, having lost weight and gotten into good physical shape, how about a girlfriend who is physically there, someone you didn’t meet yet?

    Glad you’re doing fine!

     

    Not really into relationships, I think I prefer 1 night stands then anything as I think about sex…a lot. Never even had a girlfriend, never really attempted to get 1 and i’ve had plenty of girls in the past that have been interested in me it seemed like, but never really cared about being close to another person, except for this thread but I was a little crazy and those emotions were not real, just my depression talking. I prefer just to make a girl laugh and have fun, nothing more really.

    Dear blkhwkdwn1:

    Good to be back in contact with you. I want to re-read our communication on this thread tomorrow morning, parts of it anyway before I respond again. Also if you can tell me more, before tomorrow, about your reluctance to have a girlfriend, please do.

    * Will be back to the computer in about sixteen hours. Take good care of yourself, blkhwkdwn1.

    Damn, that’s a long 26 page re read. I dunno if I could ever re-read my madness, I would be cringing like crazy. I felt and still feel like a drama queen from all of this and it puts me in a weird mood reading my madness.

     

    As for not wanting a girlfriend…I dunno, just never got a point of bonding with people at that level. I just sit on my PC all day playing games, listening to music, watching hockey, going to work, exercising. Wish I did martial arts and boxed, maybe soon but a relationship has not been a goal of mine for a long time. Maybe I gave up knowing I’ll never get a girlfriend because I hate myself and don’t want people seeing my dark side, I can’t even stand my dark side and it makes me feel cringey and gross, which is why I’ll not re-read the thread. I don’t even find myself a good person with the thoughts that go off in my head, even giving out nearly 10 grand in 1 year (which is half what I make a year) to help people. I don’t think I could stand myself in a relationship having to feel exposed to my feelings, so I prefer to stay single either for the rest of my life or until I feel like entering a relationship and I feel OK with it, I don’t cry at night and lack sleep because i’m lonely or anything. I just found it weird how I randomly started thinking of that 14 year old girl I dated from Florida (literally as far away from me as possible as I’m from British Columbia) when I was 16 which was 17 years ago and had those awesome memories of us talking, how I felt for her, my regret for letting her go and joining the other relationship which felt so fake. It feels so vivid like it just happened yesterday. I’m surprised how a memory of an online relationship I had 17 years ago I can remember so many details when everyone tells me I have the worst memory they have ever known, I’ve forgotten so much stuff even when they talk to me for a few minutes but I can remember THIS somehow.

    I guess it was important to me or something, maybe this is why I don’t want a relationship…I dunno. Have a great night.

    Dear blkhwkdwn1:

    September 18, 2016, on this thread, you wrote: “I really don’t want help, I somewhat like feeling this bad and sad because i’m used to it and I believe i’m supposed to suffer.. i’m so toxic inside I really can’t get help… I feel I deserve the pain I am getting. ..Every day I live I feel like poison”.

    More than a year and a half later, yesterday, you wrote: “I hate myself and I don’t want people seeing my dark side, I can’t even stand my dark side and it makes me feel cringey and gross… I don’t think I could stand myself in a relationship having to feel exposed to my feelings, so I prefer to stay single…”

    Clearly, you believe that you are a bad person, as so many of us believe or have believed (I did). And consequently, you believe you don’t deserve to feel good, that you deserve to suffer for your alleged badness.

    You  do your best to keep the pain of living with this alleged bad person away from your awareness by sitting “on (your) PC all day playing games, listening to music, watching hockey, going to work, exercising”. And you keep this pain away from your awareness by avoiding close relationships.

    You remember this girl from so long ago because you felt a longing for a relationship with her at that time. I think that it is that longing, that desire for more that makes the memory of her so vivid in your mind.

    You have a desire, a hidden, almost secret desire for a close relationship, but this desire is hidden, blocked by fear.

    Like any human, like any living thing capable of experiencing pain (made possible by a nerve cells), you too move away from pain, keeping it away from you, and from your awareness best you can. There is nothing mysterious about it, really. It is natural and instinctive. We all do it.

    Some people get into relationships but throughout the relationship they move away from pain repeatedly in so many ways. What it comes down to, for all of us, is the longing for a personal, loving relationship vs. fear of pain. What feeds the fear of pain is the pain we already experienced in a close relationship, usually, one with a parent.

    * When one hates oneself, it doesn’t matter how much money you give away, how much you do for others, how much money you make, nothing matters, nothing changes self hate except for the healing process which takes a whole lot of time and work and help from at least one other capable person.

    Post anytime, good to read from you.

    To be honest I read that a few times and I dunno what to write to respond to that post.

     

    I guess I can say I figured that stuff about me, seems pretty obvious. Maybe 1 day I’ll snap out of it. They say dropping a ton of weight makes you more confident, I don’t feel any more confident down 60 pounds then I did up 60 pounds, I feel better but not more confident. One goal of mine I wish I had is walking up to random strangers (guys or girls) and just talking to them out of the blue, not for a girls number but I need to work on my social skills. I also wanna be really active and a guy that is calm and when you’re around me you feel calm, also wanna be fun and more funny, also, of course, be kind to everyone, although sometimes my energy is extremely low and all I wanna do is snap at people because i’m exhausted and little things get on my nerves at that point. I’ll also never forget that online girl I had, I’m not thinking about her as much now but she’ll always be part of my memories, nobody can take that away from me but those same feelings I can get just as much or even stronger with a real girl I can touch.

     

    Have a great night, i’ll post every now and then. Maybe i’ll retire this thread and make a new one, this was supposed to be about a woman I thought I liked, but I was just going through a tough time and clung onto her niceness. I never really knew a whole lot about her even before she quit. Thanks again!

    Dear blkhwkdwn1:

    You are welcome. Like I wrote before, a pleasure to communicate with you.

    You can start a new thread, if you do, maybe other members will reply to you (in this one there is a whole lot of you and I communicating which may make other members reluctant to post).

    You wrote that you feel better having lost the weight but you don’t feel more confident. I think you feel more motivated, now that you succeeded in losing the weight. You sound more motivated, to me, setting the next goal, to improve your social skills. You had one success, it feels good, and so, you are motivated to accomplish another goal.

    I would say, just as you lost one pound at a time, improve your social skills one bit at a time, gradually, patiently. Try to not be discouraged by the zig-zag nature of learning such a skill (doing better one hour or day, not as good the next, experiencing a difficulty, then doing way better the next, and so on).

    Post anytime, here, on a new thread, as you wish.

    Did not plan to post here again but I dunno where else to post this. First off i’m pretty sure the friendship has run its course, but remember that money part? She paid me half the money I loaned her in her time of crisis and i’ve never asked for it once since I said i’m not in a rush to get it back (i’m still not, still got plenty and I don’t wanna stress people out), saw her a few weeks ago at my work and as she was leaving she said to me as she was walking away she will message me to catch up (so another coffee) but not text me.

     

    But she always seems to say she will be in touch now but disapears, only responds if I text her and if I’m doing all the work then I kinda float away which is why I said the friendship has run its course, not text her in a few months and 4 months before that. Anyway back to what I was saying…

    I text her last night saying “Uhhh this is a little awkward to ask, but curious about that money thing? I’m sure you’re swamped now but some other time even if it’s a small amount when you have it. No idea if you remember or not and I feel like an ass for asking”, she’s been all over facebook on her phone but has not been responding to my text I gave her yesterday.

     

    She quit her job she was working at and has 2 businesses now by doing her dream job. Is this a sign of her just going to ignore me from now on? after all this time, money will be the killer. I mean if she can’t afford to pay me back that’s fine, i’m not going to be an evil person about it but i’m not going to be handing out money anymore.

    Dear blkhwkdwn1:

    A bit over five months since you last posted, welcome back!

    I understand your interest in being paid. After all, it was a loan, not a gift. You are not an evil person for asking for the unpaid part to be paid. You were a good person to loan her the money and to have been as patient as you have been so far. I will be disappointed if she does not respond to you and make all effort to pay you back soon. You described her in the past as a genuinely nice person.

    Please update me soon regarding her response- or lack of response. It was only yesterday that you messaged her, maybe she will respond soon. (Are you sure she received your text?)

    I have no idea if she recieved it, does not show text as “read”, but she’s always on her phone now so i’m pretty sure she’s seen it by now. I’ll message her again Monday when I finish work, then if no response I know she’s ignoring me and do a final message on Friday after work.

     

    I just don’t get it…and yes she’s a nice person, people all over her FB keep saying she’s the most lovable, caring, and effectionate person they know.

    Dear blkhwkdwn1:

    Make sure she gets your message, maybe in a way other than texting. Maybe she thought before that you didn’t care if she repaid the rest of the money, maybe she was under the impression that you turned it from a loan to a gift. So be clear with her next time you send her a communication and let me know what happens.

    I’m sure I said that sometime last year in the summer time (page 25 at the end I think), but the last coffee we had (Feb I think? was gonna be August but I didn’t feel like it so I never messaged her for one) she said she still wants me to know she’s not forgot about the money she owes me and she still intends to pay it, so dunno anymore. But sure, i’ll message you what happens. Not talked on the phone since I think November? or something.

    Dear blkhwkdwn1:

    So in the last communication with you she was aware it was a loan that she was to pay back. This part is clear then. Well, I hope you hear from her soon, waiting for your update.
