Ever since I got cheated on and monkey branched my ego has been burned and I haven’t been the same. How can I recover?

At least you've been bitten at a young age, what's really devastating is when shit like that happens when you're older and have a family with a person you've invested a lot with. Change your entourage and start speaking to people you don't usually hang out with (maybe the type of people that are more reserved and don't get into hookups that easily). Connect with the type of people your current lifestyle doesn't allow you to meet. (People that volunteer a lot, religious people, people that are extremely passionate about about something in life like fitness or traveling, these kind of people usually don't have time for relationship drama) You're a fish in an aquarium with sharks in it, jump into a different aquarium before you spend your entire life getting limbs snatched off of you. Be thankful your wake up call happened so early, you don't realize it but pain is often a blessing.
