What was the biggest bullet you dodged?

I started dating my first girlfriend in senior year of high school, it was your typical first relationship. Very immature and lovey dovey, saying you love each other while not understanding what that truly means. So to say I was head over heels would be fair, despite us only being together less than 2 months.

But then one day she came to me, said her and her family had a talk about what was best for her. Apparently they all agreed that bc I suffered from mental illness, being depression and anxiety, that I was a bad influence. I was responsible for her grades and overall behavior, so moving forward we would no longer be able to see each other.

So at the time I was devastated, I felt so hurt and betrayed. I didnt know what to do with myself, but as they say time heals and I just tired to move on. Eventually realizing how stupid it all was. But at the same time she didnt move on, She never stopped thinking of me. About 6 months after this happened she gave me a call, asked me to meet for coffee and just talk. In hindsight I shouldve said no, but I agreed figured whatever probably the last time we ever talk.

As we sat there and chatted, she began describing to me just how much she missed me. She told me that every day for weeks she got up earlier than usual, just so that she could come to my house. Not to talk to me or anything, but to sit parked a few houses down and watch me leave each morning. She saw that as a cute gesture to prove just how much she cared for me. So I very quickly had a reason I needed to leave coffee and never spoke to her again, so thankfully I didn't waste to much of my life with a crazy ass stalker.
