[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]16:22 and 16:32 really gave me an emotional reaction there. I've just broken up with a boyfriend I was deeply, deeply in love with because I thought I could change him, and he just remained the selfish asshole I always knew he was  : /

Lessons I've learned from this past relationship:

- Don't listen to their words, watch their actions. Actions really do speak louder than words.

- YOU CANNOT CHANGE HIM. PERIOD.

- Appearances can be more deceiving than you could ever imagine. I really see people so much more differently now. Just because someone seems to have their act together on the surface, DOES not mean it really is together. Also? Their own closest friends might not know this. [i]Everything is an illusion.[/i]

- Show your vulnerability. Be open and bare your heart even after you've been hurt. It will endear you to others and make it easier for you to find new friends and new loves, because you are being the real you. Having your guard up is not attractive and ultimately doesn't really protect you either.[/quote]

+1. Yes! Vulnerability is strength.

Forgive yourself. We all choose a bad friend or relationship, make a mistake that could cause pain to someone we love at some point. Guilt is a useless emotion. Move forward and choose more wisely next time.

Trust your gut feeling. I have learned to stop looking for tangible evidence as justification for distancing myself from someone.

Show (sincere) appreciation. Everyone loves it.[/quote]
