Ur thoughts and coping mechanisms?

[Anonymous]

After my boyfriend left me shattered by saying im old school and we arnt compatible because I didn't let him sleep with another I feel I have changed. I've been through too much since I started understanding this world and it's always been bad. But this guy I went above and beyond for. I really thought he was my everything. I got to know my self around him, I explored myself around him. But now since he hurt me, I hate being around people now I cut everyone off, like not completely but I dont want to hang out with anyone. I like to be alone and I can't trust people im just so done. In ur experiences, how do you cope? I cope by working and keeping myself busy and sleeping. I don't feel hungry and I noticed my productivity is heightened. What r ur thoughts and ways to cope?

In some respects, I think it is the best thing you can do... especially if you are introverted and need to rejuvenate and process. The problem is, however, is at some point you have to tell someone these processed things... even if formal counselor. IF you do not then you will internalize then, change forever, and your Vibe will be more of a depressed, negative, or spacy-far away sort.

Cutting everyone off and assuming they have malicious intentions is not coping, it’s making people unjustly pay for what your ex did. Coping is to successfully deal with a difficult situation, which you’re not doing because Your ex isn’t even in your life still has so much power. You cope by giving people a chance and not assuming they are anything like your ex.
