>it's better to have loved and lost than to never love at all
>>83242207I have loved and I severely disagree, if I could push a button to make me forget love and never want it again I'd do it in the blink of an eye. Shit SUCKS and I feel like a mindbroken heroin addict constantly chasing the memory of a high.

>>83242207I fell in love with an illusion and it destroyed my psyche. I'd rather never known love
>>83242207It's complicatedAs someone that's gone through several deeply traumatic and heartbreaking breakups but recovered and moved on eventually, I can understand both perspectivesAt the time, when you're going through it, it's the worst feeling in the world, you want to just stop existing and stop feeling anything, and swear off any type of emotional attachment. You wish you were asexual, aromantic and a robot, to not feel or want anything, to spare yourself the pain. Even the smallest, more irrelevant memory of her makes you want to die.But then , much later, when you've recovered and moved on, either by yourself or with another person, you can understand that it wasn't the end of the world, that things keep moving and time does heal things, and you almost always take good things with you even from the failure.I look back at the breakups and heartbreaks I had in the past, the ones that made me hate life and enter deep depressions, now I look back at them and can smile at the good times, and still treasure those moments, and accept that the bad times still happened but it hasn't broken me. Life is just one big tapestry of good and bad moments, all blending together. You can't have life with only one.

>>83242309>see no value in gaining experienceThere is no value in gaining negative experiences.>learning what to do and not do in a relationship againDoesn't solve the ultimate problem that it's fucking annoying to have a desire I didn't ask for. Someone who has a nicotine addiction can do something to mitigate their craving and ultimately quit. Where's my chance to just opt out? My life was much, much simpler before I fell in love for the first time. And it happened quite late for me, as I was in college by that time. Before then, I didn't give a shit about dating and found it much easier to find the motivation to just live my life and take care of myself. I want to have that back.
