How to let go of past hurt and learn to love again?

[PrettyPeach]

I’ve been hurt so much that now i am not able to open up and show a vulnerable side to me. This makes the person i am going out with loose interest which the. Leads to heartbreaks. I am setting up some meetings with therapists to get over this but it has been hard.

A wise man once said that "the walls we build to keep out pain, also keep out love."

My dear, if your light is bright, you will attract moths. It is not that the moth means to blow the fuse, it is that the glow of the light is hypnotising. Switching off the light would be silly. Do your best to erect a fence, that way your light can still shine bright and the moths stay a safe distance away for all parties concerned.

It takes great strength to love my dear.

Kind regards,

By forgiving yourself

You have to let go of hurting yourself

Past hurt is just that. The past. You are the only one making it relevant to yourself today. Bringing the past hurt up, remembering it, talking about it, is you making yourself relive the experience over and over hurting yourself. Sitting in something that is no longer happening but you keep it relevant, is you hurting yourself.

If you want better, you have to give yourself better. No one is going to love you, protect you, please you, honor you, better than YOU. Once you lean how to love yourself and forgive yourself for what you didn't know, the bricks of your wall will slowly come down because you will understand that you hold the greatest love you will ever receive. And that love will stop any lesser love right in it's tracks that a person will no longer be able to break your heart.

Therapy is only one thing. You have to achieve success and focus on giving yourself a better life. When I started getting money and being more successful I didn't care about the past anymore. Therapy is will help, sure, but you also need to put in the work too. You can do it don't give up.

Me too. Third girl in a row who lied to me about having a boyfriend. I'm always the other guy and it sucks. Why does it happen? Maybe I'm a sucker or women are generally bitches? Riddle me that Batman.
