Hmm yea maybe not jaded for me either but more like nothing gets me too excited/depressed anymore....I sometimes feel like a robot coasting through life if that makes sense....people get excited over things and I'm like "I'm happy for you" but don't expect some emotional outburst of joy or something from me lol.....I've been betrayed by close people many times so much that I learned the hard way not to take people/things at face value anymore....I don't emotionally connect to people anymore unless I get to know them for quite a while and even then I reserve myself b/c people love to weaponize any dirt on others to make themselves feel better....if you don't give them that opportunity they have to look for another victim to vampire off of so to speak :)
Man I hear that loud and clear. Personally, I think you've learned emotional intelligence but you have a bit of a war being waged inside you because of the worlds idea that we were meant to happy and ruled by our emotions. I think what you described is a sign of emotional wellness and strength.

I was sort of reading thru the posts the other day and the only one that mentioned me was skittles....at least that I saw anyway. I wanted to be offended. I even asked myself....are you an a-hole? Lol I probably am sometimes. I know what rejection feels like. I've suffered a lot of it in my life....and it was probably mostly my own thinking. Consequently I've noticed that I have some pretty tall walls around my heart lately. I am much more cautious with people in my day to day life. In fact, this is probably the only place where I typically let my true feelings be known for the most part. Except with my mom. I've grown really close to my mom. I sometimes wonder if I will ever let myself love someone on an intimate level. I've had girls that want to date me and it is strange that I am not even remotely interested. I used to be a serial dater...lol. That's how I ended up with a crazy person.

Sorry to go off on a tangent here but I was just trying to splain myself. Lol
I dont think Id want to meet anyone on CC. I kind of like the anonymity of the forum. You're a great person Sirk but its hard to get over betrayed trust. You dont want to harden your heart,but it happens. I went through a brief,well I dont even call it a relationship. Just a year long. And that person was such a liar, and a cheat and had no reason to lie. He never broke up with me,just took off. I had never been treated that horribly. Im a big reader of people and I was so angry with myself that I didn't see this moron coming. My husband has said often "Im so lucky you gave me a chance". And you know I dont even know why I did. I was so distrusting,but he broke through. I know you had a much longer relationship and went through so much more, but if the time is ever right again I believe you'll know it. It takes time but realize you cant distrust everyone because of one nutcase. :)

Yea I agree, I generally don't like to let my emotions rule me/decide anything....usually when I do I find I make mistakes w/o thinking rationally and purely off emotions....

Thanks for the compliment! Yes our society tells us that life is a huge bed of roses and all happy all the time when the truth is life is a grind some days with more losses than wins and occasionally a win here or there but you just can't smile all the time when crap happens like for example say you lost your job.....it would be idiotic to still be smiling when you feel internally like "oh crap how can I get another job now?" but society says "put a smile on your face and just keep chugging like Joel osteen....:" it's a big lie....life is like a marathon filled with obstacles not smooth straight roads and no hurdles....

Your posts have helped me a lot, I can relate to the walls and not trusting people b/c of rejection. I have had to deal with it most of my life and it has made me very jaded sadly. Christ is slowly melting it down but it's a process and not like a wall switch on/off button.......

I agree CC is a place I can let my true self show, outside I don't show my emotions to anyone really b/c I lack trust and am numb with pain......
Ah bless you, you are far too young to be so cynical about people. There are so many good people out there, you just have to learn to trust again but also to keep people at arm's length until you do find that trust. Trust in The Lord - always for He will never let you down, leave you or forsake you.

I really like this song by Rush called "the garden". Some of the religious zealots around here may not like it...but it really resonated with me. Here's a snippet.


The Watchmaker keeps to his schemes,
The hours tick away, they tick away

The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect,
So hard to earn so easily burned
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect,
So hard to earn so easily burned

In the fullness of time,
A garden to nurture and protect
