People Read Strangers’ Worst Heartbreaks

My boyfriend cheated on me with me cousin
about three years ago.

They're still together and I have to see
them at every family gathering.

Aw that's so messed up.

I have loved the same girl for the past
six years.

I see her from time to time and we fool
around.

But to me it's more than that. I've been
feeling the same heartbreak for six years.

I dated a guy for almost two years.

I was so in love with him I changed myself
to his liking,

not realizing that he never felt the same
for me.

He dumped me and when I asked why, he
refuses to tell me.

He left me in the dark to this very day.

I can relate to that one.

I had someone do something very similar to me when
I was in college.

Ended up getting back with his old fiance.
Didn't tell me about it.

I wish I wouldn't have put so much of the
blame on myself.

Because at the end of the day it was
something going on with him.

I feel like so many people are hard on
themselves in relationships.

I was in a long distance relationship.
Everything I felt was real,

and I believed it was real for him too.

We each kept a journal to write letters
and when we saw each other again,

we would read them out loud to each other.

It was something special. But his friends
didn't believe in our relationship and

pressured him to burn his journal. They
recorded it and sent the video to me.

Jesus Christ

Uh, it was tormenting and traumatizing.

I'm astounded by the cruelty.
Uh, exhibited by people sometimes.

Like, you are far better off not being
associated with them at all. Whatsoever.

Because its going to take years for this
person and their friends to discover what

is at the route of their own pain

That's causing them to want to hurt other
people this way.

But um, you dodged a bullet here.
I think.

My worst heartbreak would have to be when
my great grandma passed away five days

before my twenty-fourth birthday.

I usually get a picture with her every
year for my birthday but not this year.

My father was never a religious man but
when he had liver cancer and was at the

hour of his death, I saw him pray to a God
I had never seen him so scared in his life

and it broke my heart.

My best friend died in a car crash.
My last words to her were

"I never want to see you again."

It will continue to haunt me for the rest
of my life. I wish in her final moments

she knew how much she meant to me,
and how much she changed my life for the

better.

That, that makes me want to like call up
like some of my friends and be like

"Dude like I love you like do you know
that?"

They're probably gonna be like what are
you talking about? But like

really just letting them know.
