It's going to be the last.
The story
I wasn't exactly sure what category to put this story in. I'm not exactly dating these people, and the reasons for that are super complicated.
My ex, Gunner, made me feel horrible. He said he couldn't date me because of my multiple personalities, which I get, I have mood swings, but I'm pretty sure what he was experiencing was just emotions. And also because I was adopted, I was "taken out of my natural habitat and who knows what I'd do." Which was said by Gunner's mother. Me and Gunner had only been dating for a week. I had to watch him date another pretty girl, who he stayed with longer than me. Me and Gunner only lasted a week, but we'd been talking for a month. After they'd broken up, she had a similar experience, saying he was extremely racist to her, and didn't want to be with her because her anxiety was something he couldn't "handle".
I sometimes wonder if maybe it is me who is doing something wrong. I know Gunner and me just weren't meant for each other, and I know something is wrong with him because I talked to Valeria (His ex). Gunner went around saying I was a bad kisser, which I know for a fact isn't true. He just needed something to around talking about, even though he'd broken up with me because of my background...? He's not fooling anyone.
A few months ago, I was talking to this boy named Jeremiah. We were good friends before we started talking, and my sister is the one who decided I should try to get with him. We'd only been talking a week before he ghosted me, and stopped talking to me. I heard from my sister, who promised that Jerry wasn't going to be like my ex, he said he "just wasn't feeling it."
We were talking today in pottery, when he told me that he thought I hated him. The way I heal is: I totally ignore the person while I cry and be sad over them. That's just how I am. Yeah, I see that as a red flag, but I can't help caring for someone I think cares for me too.
He told me today that I wanted to have a friends with benefits situation, and his friend Ethan started yapping about it, and telling Jerry how good of an idea it was. I just sat there. I know he's just going to use me with this whole benefits thing. And the reason I say "use me" is because that's what he's doing.
I had just gotten out of talking to someone, which only lasted a week. Wow, are you guys surprised? What's the pattern here? Hmm...
This guy's name is Tanner. Tanner and I have known each other since the seventh grade. He told me he's liked me since last year, but then just on Saturday, told me he's lost feelings for me. Okay, but how do you lose feelings that fast? It was clearly lust, not love. And he's been waiting to do stuff with me for a year, it's obvious. At first, I was so happy he liked me! Then, I heard the stories of him getting with girls, and as soon as he got what he wanted, ghosting them. Did I listen? No. I gave him what he wanted... I'm sure you can image what I mean. And, he ended up leaving anyways. Then, to make matters worse, I saw him, the next day, with his hand between Cory's thigh. Holding her hand in the halls, looking at her like he looked at me. Like he really likes her. Like he really liked me.
So, when I say that Jerry is using me, it's because of what happened with Tanner. Literally a month ago, this boy whom I really liked, we "did it" but I'd only done it because I really like him, and I thought, if I did it, he would like me too. But, he didn't. It was really sad, because like everyone else, he ended up ghosting me too. Guess how long we'd been talking! A WEEK!!!
So, remember when I said it must be me who's doing something wrong? That's because of things like this! It must be my fault! I was talking to Jerry today, and he said Tanner broke things off because I'm too nice.
Guys, my love language is physical touch, and gifts. Tanner told me he didn't like me anymore, according to Jerry, because I'm too nice. I'm too nice? What? That's ridiculous. I know I can trust this source because him and Tanner are best friends.
Oh, and also, when Jerry was talking about that dumb friends with benefits thing, he said that if it did happen, he couldn't tell anyone, and that it is supposed to be secret. So, wait, he wants to do it with me, but I'm not allowed to talk about it?
It just shows he's literally ashamed to be with me.
All of this has been hurting my mental health. It's coming to a point where I feel kind of insane? And it's not like I'm doing it on purpose, I just really don't know if I can handle my heart being messed around with. It's only been a couple weeks that this has happened to me. I hate going around from guy to guy, but I'm also tired of being played.
That's not even the worst part about this.
I can't even tell anyone about this, which is why I'm glad there are sites like these...
So, we all know - lots of teens have Snap chat. I've been talking to this guy on snap, who actually just recently told me his age today. I guess it's kinda creepy because all along I've thought he was my age. He told me he was going to buy me a bunch of stuff, and that he loved me, and that we were going to get married.
Okay, so what's the problem, just block him! RIght?
Right.
I wish I could say that it was actually that simple. It weird. I know he's mentally ill, because he's 39 and I'm 15. But I just can't ignore him. It's not hurting me to say goodmorning to him, right? And besides, he listens to me. It's not like he's asked for my address, or for me to send to him, so he's not harmful. And although its really weird, and you guys probably think it's gross, its not like he's grooming me, right? And, sadly, I really like the attention. It would never work, because he's like 23 years older than me, but it's kinda nice he's the only person who hasn't made fun of me for being, well, me.
And I know he says I'm his fiance, and he'd do anything for me, and he wants to come see me in June... but I can't let him go. I do that, and I'm just as bad as all the guys at my school who are trying to ghost me. Why can't we just find people who like me for me? Who want to be with me? I want someone who wants to be with me, all the time. Who can't stand to be with out me. Who likes to hang out with me, who will let me braid their hair, laugh with them, has jokes, good style, can help me with my homework. Someone who won't leave just because, I have a good butt (Which was said by my friend Daryl who just wants to do me too) or because they just weren't feeling me, or because I'm adopted or well...
Because I'm too nice.
You see, cuz my parents are getting tired of me. They don't really care what I do anymore. But it's sad, because at these moments all I need is my mama. We found out that she might have cancer. I don't know if I'm glad, or if I'm scared. Why would I be glad? Because I was almost taken from her because of abuse. So why do I want her? Where was my bio mama when I needed her? Lynda was there for me, not Dominique. I've started taking pills again, sleeping more, smoking, eating less. I actually hate sulking around all the time and hating life. But, when you've been spit out and thrown away like a wad of ABC gum, I can't held but feel how other people treat me. And I wonder, does Cory even see how she looks? Getting with someone who does things with girls and then dips?
Or maybe she's blinded by love, like me.
Well, I'm rambling now. But you all get the point.
So what do I mean it's going to be the last?
The last time I ever said I love you ever again.
Because no one ever deserves my love.
And no one ever will.

yo, I totally get where you're coming from; it's mad frustrating dealing with people who mess with your head and heart. kinda wild how folks can just switch up like that, right? 🤔 people can be so fake and shady, and honestly, it's exhausting. i've been there myself, thinking it’s gonna be different but nah. can't trust nobody these days... dealing with family stuff on top of that is just rough. best to keep your head up even when the world’s bringing you down, although it's easier said than done... but caring too much is a curse, or what? just hope things get better…
Thank you so much! This reply was really fast.

10d ago❤️ hope you are doing better!
relationships can be complex and challenging... it's clear you're dealing with some difficult situations 😔 the patterns you've mentioned are concerning, but it’s important to focus on your own well-being and boundaries!!
Everyone's journey is different and figuring things out can take time 😊 remember you deserve respect and care in any relationship: it's crucial to prioritize self-respect above all else!!!
you got this 😉
Yeah, thanks so much! I do have an update on what's been going on, so I don't know if it's possible, but please check it out and then let me know?

10d agoyeah, of course but where? will you put here in comment?
Well I'm about to post another story, but yeah, I can post it here too
Ya'll here's an update on some things. I need to know what to do. Okay, so first, you guys remember Tanner. Yeah, not only is he holding hands with my brother's ex, but I'm pretty sure they're still together, and it's almost been a week. It's scaring me, because I swear to God other people's relationships last longer than the ones I'm in with THE SAME EXACT PERSON. So I found out that Tanner doesn't want me because I'm too nice? Yeah, I told you guys that already, but not the fact that Tanner claims he just doesn't know me as well as he knows Cory. Number One - Bull crap! Number two - at least that's better than I just wan't feeling it. And, okay, feelings change, but what's up with guys making me feel so crappy? Okay, and one last thing... You know that guy I was talking to on snap? He wants to buy me a phone so he can talk to me after school. I don't have internet at home, so I can't talk to him unless I'm at school. Spring break is tomorrow, and I'm nervous he'll be mad at me for not answering him, although it's not really my fault. Should I give him an adress to send it to? I mean, I won't say no to having another phone, but if I get it from him, doesn't that mean I owe him something? It seems like a bad idea to let a random stranger pay for phone service for you, just so they can talk to you. Especially if that person is a minor...
So, like what should I do about that? And, should I give up on Tanner? I know that once him and Cory aren't together he'll come back to me. He does that a lot.
Just let me know...
Also, I'm going to be posting another story later, because I was literally suspended from school. SO... Any lawyers? Cuz, my principle said I might have to go to court.
