1. It is quite impossible to judge with the benefit of hindsight. Stop blaming yourself, you did what you could, in fact both of you were pretty immature. One quite filling with her own fantasy into the relationship, the other feeling demanding and insecure.
At least you did your best at that time, you learn something. Time to move on.
2. I will need to drill a bit more on the script and listen to my heart. Is it completely possible to break down your id and listen to your ego? More often than not, I think with a bit of help from the others you often can get the truth easily, and also you know it subconsciously, but it is very difficult to completely break down your conscious and witnessing your fear and anxiety. More like dealing with a wound without anesthetics
How would you feel if your ex-gf is together with your friend
I know this sounds silly, but erm, I am currently trying to deal with it
Dunno
Well
Never happened to me before
Actually
It's like my friend asked about my exgf when it was back to HKU open
It's something I feel really stupid and sorry about
I dont really know my stance on promiscuity
nah
Nothing like that
So back to HKU open
I met a friend of mine, my senior that is studying in HKU law
He asked about my exgf, something I feel sorry and stupid about because I was kinda of jerky or more than jerky that time
It has been seven years
Sexual exclusiveness is quite natural in an evolutionary sense
But we shudve transcended that
Perhaps deep down we still hvnt
So all the tournament pressure + he suddenly asks about her + my unwanted past
I assumed he was trying to hit on her
So I said, well I think you should if you wanted to.
Oh if its already ex
Then its fine
It's a bit like looking at something remorseful
And I have great respect for my friend
And now my friend is not really talking to me, I felt like I was being self-centered by second-guessing his intent of him asking that question
For u obvioysly there r lots of emotions attached
But think of it from ur frds perspective
Or I mean, perhaps I was just mad at myself not able to be more mature at that time.
Please explain, that's something I fail to apprehend
He likes a girl. Finds out shes ur ex. Worried he may hurt ur feelinga. So asked for ur consent
Isnt that a very gentlemanly thing to do?
It's pretty much a forced play, I cannot really say no, in fact I dream of them being together sometimes
Wud u rather hv him not tell u?
Not really, I am just realising in my subconscious I am feeling it, but my conscious mind rejects it
More than that, I am more afraid of losing my friend than for my ex which I have no control over
It is perhaps that I idolise my friend that I think he deserves her better than I do
She deserves him to perhaps. I am just purely speaking of the way of their ability and quality.
Of course, I think I am not capable of handling it well if we were still together, but gone are gone
Either supress it completely or tell ur frd u r not entirely comfortable so he will excuse u for any inappropriate behaviour on ur part
And rmb to tell him to go on and not misunderstand ur confession
Go on hitting on her i mean
Still a bit hesitant, I am a bit more worried for losing my friend than him actually hitting on her
Because she doesn't like me anymore, but I value him as a good friend
It's not worth giving up something you value more and have control in for something that is not your part to play.
Of course
Thus either act normal
Or explain ur abnormal behaviour
That's the embarrassing part
It would have been better if it wasn't during my tournament run
So
I know, still trying to figure out the way to handle the abnormal part
Did u act normal or abnormally
Quite normally when I see him face to face
Then dont over think
Then because of the sleeplessness that night second-guessing his intent, I just said to him I think you should go for her, and deleted my whatsapp account afterwards. I mean, it's fine with me but I just don't want to witness it
Lately, I have been trying to perhaps contact him to see him before my leave for UK
It's all about knowing what's proper but sometimes you cannot bear witnessing it or knowing it fully.
Oh well i guess its hard to control ones emotions when it comes to matters like these
So dont be too hard on urself
I know I have lost her, I know she doesn't like me, I still feel remorseful towards her and things I have done because of what I have cultivated as a kid under my experience of being bullied thus feeling insecure and I have very little conscious of what I was doing that time16:46
Now my friend comes, I know of him, he is very capable man , decent man. I am not sure they want to be together, though sometimes I imagined to be so out of remorse and appreciation for my friend (In fact he is my senior and he helped me a lot during my growth)
I know that if they want to be together they should, and in fact they deserve to be with each other, but I am not sure I can witness and eavesdrop the whole process of it, even now when I am comparatively more mature and emotionally competent
