It just hit me?

Question

I was taking a walk....and listening to soft rock. Not the bebobing tunes that I usually listen to....but heres my issue

I didnt realize it until now- until I listened to that music. Im really lonely. I see couples all around me...and thought nothing of it. Now that I was thinking about them, I feel really down.

I was in love 5 months ago, but got dumped. The reason why my ex dumped me was a lie. And now- she gets to go around breaking hearts when all I want to do is have one to really cherish.

A guy may say that he will treat you like gold...do anything for you. But thats impossible. There is no way anyone could. It would only end up in dissapointment. I wouldnt give a girl everything in the world, but Id give her what I really have- my heart.

Is it just the music that is working my feelings? Or is it actually my subconcious telling me that Im alone and unwanted...

btw the song was "babe" by Styx :)

Answer 1

I never wanted to be treated like gold - all I ever wanted was to be loved. It has yet to happen and I am 40. You've done better than me so far - at least you have loved someone.

Just remember that you are not alone. I know you mostly see couples everywhere you look, but look closer - you'll see yourself, you'll see me, and you'll see all the lonely people. Uh oh, breaking into song now... (this song really gets me)

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Answer 2

It's everything. You got dumped and you're listening to music and you are seeing couples all around you. Try not to feel unwanted or alone because you are not. Just think of your present situation as "time off" for yourself. Get to know yourself and indulge yourself in life's little pleasures. Right now, life can be simple and fullfilling, in that you have only yourself to please. No more fussing and fighting and wondering how to please someone else. You are number one again and let it be that way for a while. You need time to think about what you had and why it ended and you will come to the realization that the relationship wasn't the right thing for you. Find that inner peace and I promise you that you will be so uplifted and you will be ready for whatever life throws at you.

You're not alone my friend because I feel the same way exactly!

Lonliness is a terrible thing, esp when, like you, I know that I could make someone very happy and they in turn could make me happy.

I'm affraid that its all a matter of time dear boy, for all of us guys out there who are worthy of love but somehow haven't found it yet.

Time heals all wounds and though you may deny it now, you will in time get over your former love. Let her go, not just because she let you go (idiot!), but because its the healthiest thing you can do.

You do not want to be taking your emotional baggage into your next relationship and have your ex poison that as well.

She lied to you and apparently (how you know this is interesting...), is now playing the same games with others- so as beautiful and as special as she was- you've got to ask yourself was she really worth it?

I speak from experience here, please look nae further than my most recent question and some of my answers to others who have had similar dillemas to your own...

You seem like me to be a very good, honourable person. One day we will show women that they can indeed expect more from us and we them- one day things will be golden!

One day we'll have "The World on a String."

The Iceman.

Answer 4

You're never alone. There's someone out there for everyone.

You just haven't met her yet. Or maybe you have and you don't even know it.

And don't carry your emotional problems from one relationship to the next. It isn't fair for the new gal. So forget about the "It would only end up in dissapointment" line. You'll just be setting yourself up for it.

Answer 5

You sound like the kind of guy many women would like to meet right about now! Where do you live... maybe I can hook you up with one of my friends... :)

Maybe you should take it easy on the love songs for a bit if you are feeling lonely. They have a way of stirring up lots of emotions.

Answer 6

It's the music. Go back to bebop tunes before you start singing 'Feelings"......

Feelings, nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my feelings of love
Teardrops rolling down on my face
Trying to forget my feelings of love

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it
I wish I've never met you, girl
You'll never come again
Feeling, woo-o-o feeling
Woo-o-o, feel you again in my arms

Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like I'll never have you again in my heart
Feeling, woo-o-o feeling
Feeling, woo-o-o feeling

Answer 7

It might be ur subconcious. If it was a love song, then dont listen to them so much and dont quote them!

Answer 8

Answer 9

Dude...

Come on... Get a grip...

WHY ARE YOU AMERICANS SO MELODRAMATIC?!

Answer 10

this is going to sound horribly sexist on maximum of ranges, yet what the hell, right here is going. at first, a woman has no reason to hit a guy (except it grew to become into sparkling self protection). in simple terms by way of fact she is a woman does no longer mean this would not qualify as actual abuse. even with the indisputable fact that, i do no longer agree that the guy could hit her returned except he sounds like his secure practices or existence is in threat. If the female hits him as quickly as for asserting or doing something and he sounds like his honor/dignity has been compromised, this isn't sufficient reasoning to reciprocate the hit. yet i think of this rule applies to woman who has in simple terms been hit as quickly as via a guy for asserting or doing something he did no longer approve of. the right reaction is to pass to the police, no longer further the abuse. It rather would not could do with the guy being extra dominant than the female (and consequently no longer having the splendid to hit). even although, there's a definite unstated regulation of chivalry/gentlemanly courteousness that makes the back slap of the male to the female extra forbidden and scandalous. the female slapped could be an detrimental individual, yet slapping one woman is like slapping the entire gender around the face. unhappy, yet a real reality of our society. no longer that one slap to a girl might reason a guy to start disrespecting each woman he met, perse, yet this is the perceived result. in reality, if one's existence is in threat, one is authorized to prepare self-protection, be it male or woman. In the different placing, actual abuse is unacceptable.
