On-screen text
Just a series of unhinged texts I received after I "ended it" with a guy I texted for 48 hours and never met. 🥺
why would you
Why not call?
That is the real me you got. I'm sorry you think something is wrong with me.
you think something is wrong with me.
I barely even sent more than 5 whole text messages over a span of weeks before today. Why do you think you get to say that about someone you dont even know or have a lick of a chance too?
I feel like you are trying to bait me.
Yes I have been going through stuff but it's over and if anything I'm a better version of myself. Also during that stuff I always acted the same way. If anything I was a shell of myself and cried all the time. Because I lost my family members who stole 15k from me. Lost my baby and my fiancé.
I'm literally in the process of buying a house but didn't want to be the douche bag trying to flex and make that all I talk about.
You didn't learn anything about me. Also I told you from the very beginning that you were not going to take me the right way and get a real version of me over text. Then you texted me all day while I was working and told me off for not stopping my life to cater to you when I didn't do a ton of stuff just to show you I wanted to pursue you.
I'm sorry I hurt your feelings but this is some of the most off base rude stuff I've ever heard about me. I wish you weren't being called a coward and would have called me to say it to me like an adult. You could also get tone and see this is said the same way as our phone convo earlier for my response.
The one thing people love about me is my personality and how passionate and straight forward I am. People who are shitty people can't handle it because I force them to answer for their words and don't let people do things that go against my convictions.
Just because you don't like who I am does not give you the right to try and tear me down in this weird back handed way.
Because yes this does hurt because you tricked me into liking you and I am such a sensitive person that if a girl I want to be with says mean shit I get sad.
You win. I hope you're happy. Now I'm just sad again.
If you were a man saying this I wouldn't care and would treat you very poorly and force you to say it to my face and either apologize or beat your ass but you aren't and I don't treat women like that. Women are special to me and I know I'll find a wife and she will never treat me like this for being my real self. And I will treat her like a princess just like I had plans on doing for you.
Also I've been sober for close to 10 years. That shit I mentioned is a past life I can barely remember it's so long ago.
But what's still real is my intense passion and emotion and this fucking hurts. You tricked me and could have did this in a way different way.
All because you can't handle how I pointed out your ridiculous and hypocritical way of trying to gaslight me into believing your insecurities are real life.
I would happily and calmly read you what I said to you earlier and show you how I stand by it and only was going to apologize about a few things since it was text that made you be allowed to interpret it how you wanted.
And was apologizing so I could show you I'm not irrational and have self awareness and analyze everything I say and do. In person the words would have been the same because you were out of line and had no reason to talk to a man you so t know that way and make up what I was saying. There is proof go read it. I did. You should try it.
We already were going our seperate ways.
We already were going our seperate ways. I already didn't want to be with someone who treats humans how you do.
You win because you hurt me and I'm a hopeless romantic and wanted a Kentucky girl but I will not allow you to get me to be mean back and give you that satisfaction. Not a bone in my body wants to. I just want to cry.
But you'll probly say I should get help for that too.
Now go read your last text. You know I'm your heart you made that up and you truly hurt a man who you convinced him you liked him and then at the last second crushed me.
I'm not some cool douche bag fuck boy from the city. I care about people and I allowed myself to care about you.
The only reason I'm sad and you made me happy is o want a
made me happy is o want a relationship and real love.
A couple months back a different city girl cheated on me who I was going to propose to and was gonna live in this house I'm buying
Not because I'm fucked up and need help.
My life is the best it's been since I was born and you know nothing about me. You obviously don't understand what it's like to care about humans and make up that it's something I need help to fix. Everything I said made sense.
You made me look like a fool. I bragged about how happy I was to meet you and pursue you to both of my best friends.
I hate you for this last text.
You should have called but you're too big of a coward and know your words dont have backing in reality and people see the hate in your heart.
Sad thing is I'm such a lover part of me won't let me fully hate you.
Don't worry now you can tell people I'm crazy for this book I wrote.
You should have just said I don't like your personality not tear me down and make stuff up.
Goodbye forever
Serious question.....did you really think from what I said that I was willing to pursue you after this?
I was fucking hurt like a dumb little boy who liked a city girl and just wanted you not to make me feel shittier that you don't like me. That was it.
You hurt my feelings. That's not a mental problem. It's frightening and sad that what you tried to make up.
God I wish you would have just called. Thanks now I'm not gonna sleep and cry because I'm such a sucker I got tricked by you. Feelings and emotions aren't an issue. It's called being a good person.
Now you get to turn these texts into something they aren't and act like I'm yelling saying this. You are a coward and a scared mean girl with a cold heart who purposefully hurts others.
I always manage to say a few goodbyes even when happy so tear me down for this too.
By the way I was DD tonight is why I'm up. Not intoxicated one bit.
Goodbye
