Since my long-term relationship ended almost two years ago I've been low-key thinking true love isn't real.
Like that breakup actually messed with my brain chemistry and who I am. I'm way more selfish now with my time what I'll put into a relationship what I'll even deal with. All I see is how fake people are.
I strongly believe two people can't be committed for life without some lying massive sacrifice and wasted energy. Then usually it just ends with getting screwed over and going separate ways.
I just don't think I'm ever willing to give that much of myself again sacrifice my own wants for someone else waste years just to get played or even trust someone enough to get there.
Anyone else feel this? I don't think I'm cynical or bitter or a pessimist. I just see things for how they actually are.

You’re not bitter you’re protecting yourself. And that’s okay. But don’t let heartbreak convince you that love doesn’t exist just let it teach you how to recognize what’s real next time.
I thought I’d never let someone in again convinced it was wasted effort. But eventually I saw that love isn’t about never getting hurt it’s about knowing who is worth the risk.
Losing someone made me selfish with my time my energy my trust. But being selective isn’t a weakness it’s wisdom. The right person won’t make you lose yourself they’ll help you find more of it.
I used to think sacrificing for love was just setting myself up for betrayal but love shouldn’t feel like self loss. When it’s right it’s partnership not suffering.
You know if you can go all in with love and effort for someone then outta nowhere they just dip and say they're not feeling it anymore. And they move on so smooth like they hate your guts or your whole past together. Then like logically it's just gonna happen again
Nah you literally nailed it. Like low-key wish I was wrong but it feels too risky and just not happening.
Big mood. How you can give your all to someone then they just dip and act like you never even existed.
Agree its hard to understand
