relationships are hard.

This was a difficult one to make. Relationships are hard and many decisions have to be made to either stay together or part ways. Hopefully this video helps you understand this concept a bit better.

This is a very vulnerable comment section and I'm glad that you all feel comfortable enough to share your experiences! Be kind to each other now ;)

it's good to see a normal person speaking calmly saying things that make sense

the genre already died guys... 5 months was all it took for this genre to degenerate and be abused

"Was it worth it to be happy for a little bit, even though it ended up sad, or would it have been better if the whole thing never happened?"
this is the phrase that repeats in my head everytime i think about my first love.

Feels like old youtube. With no fancy edits, no intro, outro, no crazy music or script. Just a guy playing a fun game and talking about life

[teacuping]

A real ass guy
playing a real ass game
talking about a real ass topic.

This is perfect.

It’s so weird going from strangers, to lovers, then back to strangers again. I will never get used to that.



Edit: I made that comment in the depths of a heartbreak at the time but since then, I found someone new that I genuinely love and appreciate. Life goes on and there will always be new opportunities to love and more situations to meet new people

On an unrelated note:

If you're going to break up with someone, tell them why you want to break up and spare no detail. The classic phrase "Its not you, its me" isn't a good enough response, because they are going to blame themselves regardless. Tell your soon to be ex what they did wrong or why you don't want to be with them. Leaving them to stew in their own thoughts over what they think they did wrong will only make things worse for both parties.

It's never soley one person's fault for a break-up.

Lying to make them feel better? Horrible move. Tell them you want to break up and tell them why. It's going to get ugly, whether its two seconds after you tell them or two weeks when they snap from frustration, but it's the best option for the long term so that both of you can move on and not be sitting wondering if they were really told everything about your reasons. Don't deny closure for the sake of comfort, It's insulting.

Endings are always hard, but they do give way to new opportunities for beginnings

Lying is the worst thing you can do in any relationship. Betrayal and lies are so destroying.

if anyone fresh out of a breakup is reading this, you should understand you are in absolutely no rush to move on or heal. i know the first weeks and maybe months are a blinding cloud where you can’t see what’s ahead of you or what’s destined for you. you feel like you’ve lost everything, i know because i’ve been there, but the world doesn’t end at your first heartbreak, or your second, or your third. your world ends when you are satisfied. nobody is expecting you to be satisfied so soon after a breakup, it really is the worst feeling, grieving someone who’s still alive. but the truth is, and it’s hard to understand early on, but you need to lose yourself, to find who you really are, because you’re still growing and changing. changing paths does not mean giving up, you’re allowing yourself to reach *your* full potential.

if you’re looking to move on but you’re not quite sure how, tie up your loose ends on your own. don’t go back to them even if you want to so desperately, don’t wait for them or expect them to come back, the less you know the better, and you will find peace in yourself, if you take time to yourself. moving into another relationship immediately never heals your wounds, i promise. even if you were the one who left the relationship, growth from experience is necessary, otherwise the experience led to nothing. finding peace in someone else’s presence is denying yourself your true happiness that you deserve, find peace in yourself, so that you can be the best version of yourself for someone else in the future. moving on and healing has no time frame, its certainly not respective as to how long the relationship lasted either. i’ve been in a two year relationship and a seven month relationship, and the seven month was the hardest in my experience. again, it’s hard to acknowledge now but the pain is necessary, growth hurts. physically or emotionally growth is a necessity, and it hurts but the fruits of it overcome the pain of the process. if you’re hurting, you’re healing properly, i promise you. don’t rush yourself, in time everything will fall into place, i speak from experience. i’m still healing, and i’m still single many months later, but for the first time in so long i am genuinely happy on my own and with myself

the minecraft gameplay was so comforting, it’s as if im playing as my younger self while my future self is talking to me and giving me wisdom

This is kind of an interesting video to get in my recommendations! I did not expect this! Anyway, stuck through the entire video, great video! :)

The hardest thing for me after it ended was the feeling of something missing in daily life. You become so used to having them around without realising and when they're gone, it kinda feels like you're physically in a different place. Home doesn't feel like home all of a sudden if that makes sense. Really weird and quite difficult to adjust to at first. Something I completely didn't expect. It took a long time for that feeling to pass but the lessons and experiences it gave me were worth every minute.

I’ve never been in a real relationship and I’m 18 now. I’m a bit scared to get into one but I hope one day, a relationship will happen for me when it’s the right time, and I’ll have a lot to learn however I’ll be in the right mindset to pursue it. Scary stuff tho

It's crazy how age and maturity completely changed my perspective on my ex. I absolutely hated her for a long time, and I thought that she was the reason our relationship crashed and burned. Over time, I began to realize how my insecurities and lack of experience pushed her away. I'm glad to say that I can live with the poor decisions I made in the past, and I am a much better person for it.

It’s so hard knowing that you can only let your partner down, and you’re right—no one really talks about that. More people should.

[mr.ottoman]

the saddest thing is to be in a relationship and still feel lonely

I recently broke up with my girlfriend of almost 2 years. She was my first for many things, and that made it extra hard for me to process. It took some time for me understand why she broke up with me. It was a healthy break-up, no fights, no raised voices, just a civilized break-up which I hesitated to agree upon. However, I've come to a realization that what happened was something necessary for both of us fully mature, and become better versions of ourselves. If you're reading this, and you're going through something similar. Just know that It's not the end of the world. The reason why break-ups hurt is because you envisioned your entire future with that person. If you're able to get around that thought, stay strong, you'll come to realize that you are capable of so much more. Focus on yourself, and eventually the right person will come.
