How does one get over being played?

Honestly, being played by someone you care about is one of the hardest things to go through. That and being cheated on. I know when this guy played me, used me for rides to and from work, for money, that sort of thing, I just immersed myself in other things. Stopped thinking about him, and when he moved away (3 hours away), I was outraged, hurt, insulted, you name it. And once again, I just made myself busy. Went about my day at work, worked overtime, and tried to think of anything else. It may sound quite simplistic, but, if you really think about it, doing things to keep your mind off of the things that hurt you most is one of the only ways to get over it.

The cliché "Once bitten, twice shy" comes into effect here, at least for me it did. I found it difficult to trust people to begin with, and now it's no different. I don't let people into my life and my heart easily, and as much as I would love to, I know now that in order to find trust, I need to know how to cope with being played, used, and cheated on (not all happened at once, mind you). And for me, it was finding other things to occupy my thoughts, whether that was work, family or friends, I knew that I had to have something to think about that wasn't going to hurt me more than I already was.

I don't believe you ever truly get over being hurt in these ways, because it's always in the back of your mind, especially when starting a new relationship. You start to think, "Will it be different this time? Will I get hurt/played/used/cheated on this time around? What will I do if it happens again?" It's a vicious cycle, and I'm finding it intensely difficult to break free from, but it's a cycle that I'm willing to go through until I find the right person. The right man won't do these things to me, and I know that. You need to know that the right woman won't do it to you, she's out there, and for right now, what you need to do is just focus on the things that make you happy, family, friends, etc., until that woman enters your life.

well punching the guy in the face won't do anything but get your thrown in jail and plus the guy prob doesn't have any idea who you are, so he will prob be like why the hell did this random guy punch me in the face. And to answer your question women are liars my friend and they will make up all kinds of crap, learn from your mistakes and move on who cares about her, just go out there and find another girl. Weve all been there some girl you like and she likes you and then bam she's say she doesn't feel for you anymore or better yet I don't want a relationship right now and then what do you know she's with another guy. We do the same thing to women, all dating is a game and someone always has to lose. Ignore her and find another girl that's the only thing you can do.

I know this is an aggrivating situation, but #1 rule=keep your cool and composure if you come in contact with them. I would say ignore them but it sounds like you keep running into her somewhere. If so, and you see her I would just tell her to keep her excuses to herself and that she's a dissapointment and the other guy is too young to realize how much of a dissapointment she is. And if she thinks everyone believes the excuses then she's as dumb as the excuses are. And then just walk away. She's not worth wasting anymore of your time.
