Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

this really sucks. she's with someone else and says that maybe one day we can try again but not now. i'm in pieces trying to move on. i really thought things were going better than for a long time between us, but...

i am afraid that i'll never find someone i connect with as deeply as her. she was my first and only love and i'm truly heartbroken. will it ever be ok again? does anyone know any good coping strategies or ways to deal with this?

good luck to you too. It's a really shitty situation. I'm trying to start dating to take my mind off things, at least casually, to help with the self-esteem blow that it's been. idk if that's a good idea but it's helping in the short term to remind myself that whatever happens, I will find happiness somehow.

Im sorry, i take back part of what i said. If the person is lying too much, its probably better to distance yourself from them. Im being too passive and its just getting worse...

I think youre on the right path, see some friends and get your mind on something else.
