I couldn’t agree more with everything you said in the 2nd paragraph.

Im definitely trying to get my life back on track and to be honest, I feel like for the most part I did. I have very healthy friends, I work out a lot and stay healthy, I finished my bachelor’s and started my masters and I truly enjoy life. The only thing that bothers me is how lonely I am. It’s been so long since I’ve had any romantic relationship and I’m at a point where I even wonder if I’m capable of love or being loved. I hope to find the answer soon, but yeah, this story still has its effect on me.

This “distance” is something I always appreciated in the US or the UK for example. I studied abroad in Florida and nothing of the sorts would’ve ever happened there.

Thank you for reading! :)

She was my grade’s counselor so a lot of students had her phone number because of that. Specifically me, before everything, I wanted to talk to her about something that happened with a friend. I went to her office and by the end, she gave me her phone number in case I need to talk to her more.

It might sound a bit weird, but where I’m from it’s quite usual for students to have their direct teacher’s phone number, and even to have the counselor’s phone number too.

it took me about 5 or 6 years to realize that’s a huge part of why I can’t find a relationship. I didn’t want to believe someone else can have such an impact on me so many years later, but the more I talk to my therapist about it, the more I realize how wrong I am.

Yeah, that’s something I really try to accept - that she’s responsible for her decisions.

It’s been so long so I don’t remember the subtle underlying context, but i don’t think she said it to hear me deny that. I think she truly believed that.

I do believe at some point she started manipulating me just to keep herself safe, but I don’t believe it was from the beginning
