Disappointment and heart break.....

How do you handle it?

 

I force myself to move on....even if I don't want to.

 

dunno yet

 

masturbation.

nah, just kidding

I make sure I am busy.

 

I doubt you've gone through your whole life without ever being disappointed.....

 

Don't those go dick in hand?

 

Disappointment seems to be never ending. I can live with that.


Heartbreak? Only happened once. I won't let it happen again. (Famous last words, I know)

 

If disappointment is never ending, why do we continue to get disappointed?

 

I just surround myself with all the things
that make me happy and optomistic ...

I forget all about my woes.

 

Because we have unrealistic expectations of ourselves and others?

 

i thought the disappointment was with the heart break - never had that together

sure, i've been disappointed in the past. i just move on to the next opportunity

 

I get depressed for about a day before the naive child in me sets in and I just forgive and get over it. I've been repeatedly disappointed my whole life, so now that I'm an adult and can do things just because I want to, it makes it even worse to be disappointed. I guess it also sucks because I bend over backwards to make sure I follow through with stuff because disappointment sucks and I'm too nice.

 

by moving on (sometimes slowly) and correcting the situation or forgiving the person that caused it (this includes myself if I caused it)

 

i get drunk and take it out on you guys.

 

What if they're fleeting?

 

i enjoy plotting revenge in complicated and diabolical yet harmless ways......voodoo dolls can be fun........the drunken night out followed by the all night coke binge....meaningless sex....the arms of an even more previous ex.......some careless and frivolous spending....weekend at parents or sibling....more alcohol.....cursing....you know,,,a variety of stuff to keep on goin....,at least it works for me

 

If it wasn't for disappointments I wouldn't have any appointments...

Seriously, they permit me to hone my coping skills and learn to expend less energy in expectations. Without setbacks and unpleasant surprises I wouldn't have developed the inner balance needed to stand on my own two feet in life.- and it's more than mere standing- it's ability to withstand a punch and remain upright.

 

disappointment- Just get sad but move on

heart break- tell myself I can do better

 

Do you always believe you can do better or do you find yourself struggling to agree with yourself on that point?

 

You will always have things in your life that cheer you up,
they may change, and they will, but they will always exist.
