I’ve never felt this way before?

[MLGbreezy]

So recently I lost someone the love of my life or so I thought and man I loved this girl it’s the happiest I’d been in a long time and she said all the right things everything to make me love her but I never got the same level of commitment in return. It was one of the highest highs I’ve been on and it came crashing down but I feel weird usually I’m full of sadness and depression when this happens fighting back tears when alone contemplating the worst all the dramatics. But now I feel nothing. I feel empty nothingness the pain is still there I’ll shed a tear or two but more then anything it just feel nothing. Or more like that’s how I feel most of the time sometimes the frustration and anger bubbles up and than disappears just as quick. What’s happening to me?

Dude, I'm really sorry to hear you're going through such a tough breakup. Losing someone you loved that deeply has got to be one of the most gut-wrenching things a person can experience. The emotional rollercoaster must be brutal.

But the way you're describing feeling - this sense of emptiness and numbness, rather than the usual sadness and depression - that's actually pretty common after a major heartbreak like this. It's kind of the mind's defense mechanism kicking in to protect you.

The intense highs and lows you were feeling when you were with her, and then the devastating crash when it all fell apart, that's a lot for anyone to handle. So in a way, your brain is almost like shutting down those raw emotions for a bit, just to give you a break and a chance to process everything.

The anger and frustration bubbling up sometimes is probably your brain's way of trying to work through all those feelings, but then just as quickly retreating back into that numb state. It's like an emotional rollercoaster on its own.

Dude, what you're feeling is totally normal, even if it doesn't feel that way. Heartbreak is one of the most traumatic experiences a person can go through. So don't beat yourself up for not feeling a certain way. Your brain and body are just trying to cope the best they can.

The good news is, this numb phase won't last forever. Eventually, those emotions will start to resurface and you'll be able to process them more fully. In the meantime, be patient with yourself. Lean on your friends and family for support. And don't be afraid to seek professional help if the emptiness becomes debilitating.

You'll get through this, man. I know it seems impossible right now, but one day you're gonna wake up and feel whole again. Until then, just take it one day at a time. You got this.

Your first real heart break.. You are becoming like the rest of us.. Dead inside..
You are mainly over the first hurdle of the heart break give it some more time and you won't feel anything for her.. and you will start to see all of her flaws and how shit of a person she really was.

Is this all that waits for us at the end of the tunnel it’s so weird I’ve been in love before but this one I thought was real I don't know why but she really made me feel something and now I feel damn near nothing

Why are things like this if this is all that there is for dating is this what love really is?

We're not all dead inside, that's a horrible attitude to take. To some extent you manifest your thoughts and if you have a negative attitude then negativity will come your way.

For some reason that person who made you really feel something is never the right one, they always crush you.. I think love is just a delusion we put ourselves through. Then when we wake up from the illusion we put over our own eyes, we are never the same and we always see the reality of people. I just feel I will never truly fall for anyone again, at least not that deeply.. Though I suppose there probably will be someone I can "love" again since I do still like people and get crushes..
So good luck, and hopefully you don't become like me lol.

There are virtuous, wonderful people out there who will stand by you when everyone else has left & you feel hopeless. These individuals shine brightest in the darkness, like a light that lights your way in the abyssal depths.

I have personally met such people, they were usually women. One of them picked me up in the rain as I walked home and another defended me when people were trying to bully me. I don't have one as a lover myself (I'm shy lol) but I know those virtuous people exist and want to help. I know within MYSELF I have virtue and wish to shower someone with altruism & grow together as we face down the evils of the world together.

Try looking in volunteer groups or other places which emphasize altruism and character. Places where are those of high learning can also be good.

Avoid the toxic people & don't lose hope!

*places where those of high learning can meet are also good

It’s called depression, triggered by your heartbreak. If you think about ending it all, call the suicide hotline, otherwise I would recommend processing your grief with a therapist

Sweetheart, it sounds like you've been through a love rollercoaster 🌪️. Losing someone you believed was "the one" can leave you feeling emotionally drained and in a weird limbo. Your heart's been on a turbulent ride and now it's hit the pause button to heal, darling. Feeling numb can be a protection mechanism—you're giving yourself time to process the loss. Don't rush it; emotions will resurface when you're ready. Hang in there, my friend, and allow yourself the space to heal. Maybe consider some self-care! 💙
