I think you missed our points :/

Just leave her alone homie...
i got attached. technically she shouldn't have been on a dating app from the start, but i'm past that. i messed up with what i said earlier to her (and trying to escalate). i'll leave her alone. i just extended the friendship branch just to let her know I was wrong and that I am here.

So in your mind, she told me she wanted to be friends so solely I would leave her alone?

She just said I'm glad I came around and am willing to be friends
Glad to see that. You've got a penchant for beating yourself up too much amigo. You didn't do anything TO HER that warrants you feeling like a jerk. This situation is more a function of bad timing IMO.

i didn't feel like i did anything too major to her. just pushing the dating aspect too hard i guess (which wasn't much the last month)
i'm glad i'm still on civil terms with her

You were jerky, but it was a move born of ignorance, not you were playing some power game with her.

I have recently had a lot of dreams that she didn't once appear in, and it feels so fucking good not to wake up tired and miserable. Though I would still do almost anything to know how she's doing, I guess it's none of my business anymore.

During this time I responded to any kind man by fucking them, and withdrew from any man who seemed too forward/aggressive sexually. In the next couple of years I learned that predators came out of the woodwork under the guise of being a kind, sympathetic man.
You worded this much better than I could've and god is it true. Except sometimes I would fuck the forward/sexually aggressive ones too, just to prove to myself that I wasnt shit and didn't deserve shit. To this day I put up with more shit than I should from men & cling for dear life to any man who is nice to me and doesn't try to fuck me within 10 seconds :(

I really could have done with people that made this much sense a long time ago... I always tried to be there for someone who i didn't feel like wanted me to be there any more. Probably because they were way too busy being there for other people. I really sucked quite badly... It'd be cool to think well, at least i've learned a lot of lessons from it, but i wish i'd learned them sooner, because i'm 99% sure i'm never bothering again, which i'm fine with now. I just wish i'd learned more about people before i fucked up with my favourite one.

I guess i'll just get a little high again, that should do it.

You aren't shit and you deserve a lot. I've been through my (many) self-destructive phases too and it's always good if you can come out on the other end and recognize it, which you have. :heart:

Maybe she shouldn't have been but it's not fair to blame her for that when she's in such a vulnerable place. People don't think clearly in traumatic situations.

If I could stop repeating the pattern that would really be awesome. I have high enough self awareness to know what I'm doing and low enough self esteem to keep doing it, which is like the worst possible combo, sadlol.

Around here "you ain't shit" means you're worth nothing.

Apparently you guys are saying it like "you ain't a piece of shit"
