relationships are hard.

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

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

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.

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

A real ass guy playing a real ass game talking about a real ass topic. This is perfect.

"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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

bro went in my recommendation and dropped the hardest wisdom with a minecraft gameplay background

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

'don't cry because its over, smile because it happened'.

"Sometimes pain is a good thing, people don't realize that" Just had to end a long term relationship with someone I loved very dearly. It ultimately wasn't going to work, different life plans. thank you for your calmness it put me at ease.

I feel like I needed to see this. I’m contemplating breaking up with my partner of 4.5 years and I feel terrible because nothing is exactly wrong in our relationship but things just don’t feel right anymore and I feel like we might be on different paths. I feel really scared because I care about him but I know I’m going to be the “bad guy” and hurt him. At least I’m not alone.

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! :)

“Every person you meet has a purpose. They’re either a blessing, or a lesson.” -from a podcast I listened to yet forgot the name.

This video has been haunting me in my recommendations for weeks. I've had an absolutely horrible day ruminating and overthinking and I really wasn't expecting this video to be what finally gave me a literal wave of peace washing over me. I thought it would only tell me things I didn't want to hear but I feel so much more grounded with your insight. I genuinely can't thank you enough for talking about this.
