Ever been really hurt?

[bluestar]

I have. The hurt I feel from this break up is as painful as any I have ever felt in my life. I wouldn't like to live with knowing I hurt someone on purpose like that. And sadly I know he did this on purpose. I know one thing I can take away from all this is trying to cultivate more sensitivity towards others peoples feelings. Not just those we are close to but anyone who comes into contact with my life. Just to be kinder, more patient, and carry humility.

Awesome! If we all can come away with one good thing about ourselves, it's worth the learning. I have a feeling you'll come up with more positive than just that. I am learning (have learned):

 

1) I want to be kinder to others.

2) I want to make sure my good friends and family know I love them.

3) I want to help others when they need someone, like we do now.

4) I want a great person in my life, even though this one hurt me.

5) I want to make myself a better person, every day.

bluestar, that was very well said.

 

And yes, you are right, people really don't realize how much they can hurt someone, and sadly they never look back and even realize what they've done.

 

But the thing is, you are a good person to see things the way that you do, and good things will come to you as a result of this.

 

Never stop believing, because its true I know, happiness can just be around the corner, its happened to me that way many times....

Well put. And people who are sensitive will be drawn to you in kind.

 

Take care.

That is a great attitude to take...I have seen people who have been really hurt by their partner turn into selfish, miserable human beings...they become like the person who hurt them...and in the end they are just as unhappy. A person who takes the bad experience and flips it around to be kinder, gentler and more empathic and compassionate will be a lot happier for it...it will do wonders for improving self esteem. As for him doing it on purpose...well, in the end he has to answer to his conscience..and if he has none then you are much better off without him.

This is so true. I was recently hurt very badly and it made me think about those that I may have hurt in the past when I was much younger and less sensitive to other people's feelings. It's good to find that something positive can come from something so negative.
