I'm sorry you're hurting, AdaGrace.
If he doesn't love you, then he never really knew you, did he?
He's not worthy of you, anyway. And why are you still punishing yourself over him? I know that you have to grieve the fact that you didn't get the type relationship with him that you thought you could hold onto. But just a little bit of you knew that you weren't "available" for that, anyway.
Instead of thinking about him for thirty minutes, try to brainstorm ways in which you will protect yourself from yourself in the future so that you won't be hurting like this again. Just a little exercise to distract yourself from the pain you are feeling right now and remind yourself of your strengths and weaknesses. We all have them in equal measure- we just have to recognize them (usually the hardest part for me) and make them work FOR us instead of against us.
I know you don't want to hear this right now. Go ahead and cuss me out- but try it anyway...
I love you, AdaGrace!!!
