Hey guys
I've read something very interesting about how as human beings, we often attribute emotions we are feeling to what is happening in our environment (even though it may have NOTHING to do with why you feel this way). When a woman breaks up with you or you have oneitis and you feel you have lost your true "love" it is because your ego has been shattered. You feel the need for that person to take you back so you can feel better about yourself. Some of us mistake this "feeling" for love, not realising it is actually just your EGO that has been hurt. You feel worthless because this person has made you feel special and now it has been taken away.
This is the biggest cause of oneitis and mistaken feelings of love. If you never have any women in your life (due to you not taking action/being rejected often) and suddenly one comes along that likes you. She has sex with you. She likes being with you. She says she love you. Your ego is boosted, you feel great. You have a purpose. This person makes you feel SPECIAL. Then when she leaves you, you're ego is shattered and you cry like some little sissy. I don't mean to offend anyone with this, I do believe in true love but I think a lot of us THINK we are in love when we are not. I believe love takes a long time, and should be more than how the othe rperson makes you feel about yourself.
So, master DJ's. How can I protect my ego from this damage? Everytime this chick doesn't call me I feel hurt, and it pisses me off. If we get on well then I feel confident. How do I ensure that my ego remains stable?
Comments/advice appreciated.
