Re: Overcoming heartbreak..what would you do?
Good ideas. I find doing things to help others makes you think less about your own problems. There is always someone worse off than you who you can help. what’s wrong with wii? I was thinking about this thread and thinking heartbreak isn’t just something you get with marriage/romantic relationships. People can feel heartbreak when they have disagreements and things don’t work out with parents, relatives and even friends. Online long distance friends are easiest to give someone most hurt. They can also be most rewarding because you can talk to someone you might never meet in your real life. You can easily make friends online, spend time, get to know them well, invest time in them and care about their lives but in one moment they can delete you/cut you off without any reason or explanation. Unlike real life you can’t even really contact them. With some female friendships you may not even get a real explanation. Like meri ek dost thi jo Pakistan mein rehti hai and we met online, acchi dosti hui and she told me about her life and I told her about mine. despite time differences we made time to talk to each other and she told me she doesn’t have many close friends in real life and when she would have problems I would try to talk and help her. She promised me that when I came to visit her we would travel to Lahore, Karachi and Muree. We got to know each other over a long period of time and we shared our fav songs and all that. Then just randomly she said her family weren’t happy with the time she was spending on the net and this friendship. Maine socha theek hai we can cut down talking but we can still be friends and one day I can visit her in Pakistan. She said her parents were arranging a rishta and she was sorry but they wanted to stop contact but she appreciated my friendship. Similar situation happens with online female friends I make from India. I wish desi female friendships were more like desi male friendships. I don’t think guys ever give up on friends not even after marriage. I think she was maybe too scared of what others would think. I have Pakistani/Indian male friends online aur unke saath aise kabhi nahi hota. So you have to cautious with online friendships as well. lol I blame Bollywood for giving me unrealistic expectations. aise sirf movies mein hota hai I don’t regret it though. I got to learn about her life and her dreams even if only for a few moments. even if it didn’t last forever I hope and pray she is happy and successful in her life.
