What's a painful truth you've had to swallow?

[anIsolatedMan96]

It's almost impossible (in my experience anyway) to find a partner who will be just as crazy in love with you as you are with them.

So many women that I've fallen completely in love with, but they've only reciprocated a little, and seem fairly preoccupied with other people. Sad.

What's a painful truth you've had to swallow?

That the girl I was unbelievably in love with, wasn't really in love with me. Had to make the heart wrenching decision to walk away from the relationship, despite still loving her. Kills me to this day...

Is this the same girl you mentioned became your girlfriend in your other thread?

 

[worthless_loser]

That I'm responsible for my own situation in life and for fixing my own problems.

Life will get difficult as we get older.
Especially in the old age.
There will be pain. Physical pain, mental, and emotional pain. And when you look outside the window, you'll see death, waiting to knock at your door.
There will be loneliness.

When you're young, there are possibilities. The circle will start getting completed. The boomerang that you threw will start coming towards you.


Guilt, regrets, all will start getting stronger. Because now, time is up. You had your chance.

Maybe, you'll want to meet that girl you loved for years. But never loved you back. How nice it would be, if she could at least spend the last few days with you. She never cared earlier. Will she even remember you?

You won't be able to walk properly, and your children will hate helping you. They might not even help you at all. And you'll just want to die because you can't bear that guilt anymore. But you can't, because you didn't live life thoroughly. You missed out. Missed out on one thing or the other.
Your body won't support you anymore. It wants to merge into earth, where it came from. Your time is up.

That I need to behave until I got somewhere to go

Fear of aging isn’t all that common in the very young. Many of us when young pretended we aren’t going to get old. Well here I am at 73 with all the usual annoyances of being an old fart. Failing short term memory, various body parts falling apart, a majority of my friends leaving the planet ahead of me ( although I lost a huge number of friends, a few relatives and lover in the early days of the AIDS epidemic and the Vietnam war). Some things though get easier in old age. You get better at dumping people who annoy the hell out of you, your ******** detection gets better, you aren’t driven as much to party till you drop, - - the list could go on. However, given the state the human race has placed itself in I’m very glad I’ll soon be leaving the planet. My biggest problem comes from wondering how I can, or should I , give honest answers to the young and their questions. Recently a very intelligent four year old asked me ‘Why are the grown ups trying to kill us’ Asking what he meant his listed “ Atom bombs, germ warfare, global warming, pollution,  - - - - ‘ His list went on longer but I can’t remember it all. I took the cowards way out and told him to ask his father as I didn’t have the answers. 

As a side issue I find it very annoying when discussions take place in the media and elswhere about the rise in juvenile suicide. All kinds of reasons are given but seldom if ever does the mess adults have made of our world ever get mentioned. We are a very peculiar species..

we are the same empath yay!

 

[Diagnosed]

Could it be called a giving up?

 

[Alex Supertramp II]

That Ill die without realizing my dreams of being a successful songwriter, musician, film maker or novelist.

 

[Headbolt]

That I am what I always knew I was. Though 20 years of relationships and one marriage, I am alone. It was ever thus.  
The only thing that I can do is prepare for the future as such. The sands run out ever faster though.

 

[starr]

I was told by my son that I'm dramatic. Now I'm hyper-focused on NOT being dramatic.

 

[Mylife47]

The toughest truth that I've had to swallow was and is accepting that my marriage is never gonna be what I want it to be...The hard part is doing something about it!

Same.  My wife can't recognize that she has dictated our lives to be what she wants.  My needs are ignored.  We have agreed to split, but still haven't.  She wants me to fix her house before I go.  I can't just walk out and leave her to deal with the massive expenses of home repair on her own.

Plus, I have no where to go.

Pick one.  Work toward it.  Get it.  Go from there.

Other people don't appreciate my humor as much as I do. Some even take offense to it when I'm actually trying to ease an awkward situation. Ha! Ha!

 

[priscella]

I love your humor and you pick out your little icons so well---you have a great sense of humor... To the other member we all get at a stage where we see our dreams slipping through our hands---try writing just a little book and pick a subject close to your heart even if it won;t be a best seller and maybe you will make a dollar or two with it. My painful truth is getting old and seeing how ugly I am getting. Ugh....priscella
