Have you ever been hurt so badly? How did you overcome it?I have loved and lost someone and since then I find it so hard to trust anyone. The feeling of being betrayed keeps going. I find it so hard to let go and to move on. I know sometimes I easily got infatuated but the thing is, I am very much ashame, I never wanted to get hurt again... What will I do now? I think I'm fallin' for someone... Help me out...

Unfortnatly you never get over it. But slowly it gets less and less. You start to trust more and more. Getting hurt is part of life and it needs to happen so that we appreciate the goods times much, much more. I don't think you should worry about falling in love with someone else. Love and being in love is such a wonderful feeling. Go for it and love with all your heart. It will pay off in the long run. Use some caution, don't let them walk all over you, and pay attention to warning signs. And don't forget have fun.

I HAVE FELT like you before,... I hurt because I lost someone who I love much,.. She's gone,.. That's made me down , I almost Surrender for this situation ,.. but with positive thinking that I thought that whatever happens just happens and Life Must Go On,.. and Only time can answer it. actually I still Love her So much till I write this to U. I have been heard from one of The Matrix Reload the Morpheus said," Everything that has begin has and End,.. " Maybe this word is true sometimes. But If see 'The Last Samurai " By Tom Cruise It tell us to Never Give Up event our heart bleed. Just one thing before I go : NEVER GIVE UP !!

first if you are falling for someone and this person hasnt done anything to hurt you so far then i would say to just dont do anything to push him away, and dont try and fight your feelings because even though you were hurt before doesn mean you are going to be hurt again. i believe that everthing we exprience is a part of life and what doesnt kill us only makes you stronger.

Hi there! Some of my experience is like yours. Before I get to know someone, I tend to immagine that the guy is a perfect man and then I get hurt because he turns out to be totally rotten inside. Come to yr problem, I think the best way is to make yourself busy and you will have no time to think about the past. Working hard is a very good alternative and job is also rewarding, the more you give, the more you get paied, unlike man. Meeanwhile, nurturing yr own interests, like go to movies, sports. The last but not least, find an excellent man to substitute the one in the past. The best way to gorget one man is to find another man. But you can't hurry, because you may get another wrong man and hurt again. That's why I put this at last. But at the time you get him, you will forget the past very easily and completely, and very soon as well.

"All is fair in love and war" That is a quote that has been handed down for many years. Love that goes wrong can make you shy away from falling for someone else. Your heart is yours to protect. Don't wear it on your sleeve so that "just anyone" can brush it off and trample it. After one bad relationship you should really give yourself some time before jumping into another one. Make sure you don't carry the "useless baggage" from the old one into the new one. By that I mean, don't ever compare one man to the other. Love you and true love will find you! Good luck and think positive!

You already know how it feels to be hurt so badly. Now that you're falling for someone again, I think you have to be stronger not to let your emotions overcome you. I've been there before, and just the same, it took time for me before I could move on. But if you believe in your heart that this relationship will be better than what you had before, then go for it. Communication with the person you love is the best. Be honest and let this person know what you've been through before, and that you never what to go through the same kind of pain ever again. Good luck to you!

They say that making mistakes is one sure way to learn. I have made my own share of mistakes and I always try to find something about myself that allowed the mistake to happen. It is not easy because there are no hard and fast rules and we do tend to think along certain patterns that lead us to mistakes and heartaches. Learning might mean discovering our own weaknesses and correcting them.

Hi there. Yes this is hard. It can push people away and also make them hide things more. Just take it slow and then later tell him exactly how you feel and are. Tell him that you have a hard time trusting and I'm guessing that you are jealous in relationships. If you are tell him this too. He might be the kind of guy who will reassure you and help build your trust. My advice is keep talking and read books even go for counselling. Good luck!

Sometimes ,we will meet the hurt of love, we should thanks for them ,because of them ,we become more mature than before! Yes, the other one may hurt you so much ,you only choose another one carefully and happy to find the previous one is not your proper one! Please be more optimistic,the last one will be the proper one,please give more chance for yourself! Maybe this time, you lose a lover,however, you still have yourself ,you will meet the better one next time!

The other side of love is pain,hurt..but don't let these feelings limit yourself to love..if you don't allow yourself to be hurt, then you're not a human..i hope you get what i mean...we have to be hurt to make us a better and stronger person..so we can make wiser decisions..we will learn to use our brains over our hearts...and then you will realize that not all men are not faithful..there are some who are deserving for our love.. you would never appreciate the real meaning of love if you never gets hurt once in your life...gudlak to you!

All you have to do is to try and forgive the person and also pray that God should heal your heart so ypu canlove again,cos that's wha i did in my time and now i think i'd found a new love.
