Not really a crazy story or anything but I thought I'd share since I'm more than positive I was a crazy ex.

I had met a girl online about halfway through highschool. We quickly became friends and would chat everyday about our lives and feelings. Eventually we started to get pretty attached to each other and soon started to have feelings for one another. We made a lot of plans for our future and how we'd meet up eventually and start a real relationship. We had met up quite a few times at concerts and one time when I went to a cottage with her family. I fit in well with her family so I felt things were promising.

The problem is, had a lot of self esteem issues back then so having someone who felt the same way about me as I felt about her was a huge confidence booster. But that was the problem, she was the reason for all of my happiness so if she suddenly disappeared for a day I'd be a mess.

The start of my second year of college I was doing terribly the whole semester. Just a mix of laziness and not understanding the course material. So after repeatedly failing tests and gaining weight due to the depression and anxiety I was in a bad spot. And it just so happened at that time she had met someone who was worth dating so she went for it and very quickly dropped me out of her life. Within a week, my best friend had just dropped me and never looked back.

For months I would try to get a hold of her and try my best to contact her but it never worked. It especially hurt since at the time I needed someone to talk to and just be around. But I didn't have that person. So knowing she was constantly ignoring me hurt, and the times she would respond and tell me she missed me made it even harder to stop trying to reconnect. But it was always be the same result in the end.

So lesson learned, never let your self worth and confidence come from someone else. Be happy with yourself.
