I told her that she genuinely deserves someone better.

I’m a young guy working as a cashier. Its not a glamorous job but it’s a job that needs doing. Anyways, recently I met a girl who likes me (Won’t reveal her name due to safety reasons. Better safe than sorry). Today I met her again, few hours ago. We went for a walk. I told her the truth. I told her everything. Told her that I have a short temper which got me in trouble a lot of times and that I’m afraid of unintentionally lashing out, making her upset, afraid or angry. I prefer her to be with someone else than hurting her in any way. Told her about how I almost jumped out of 5th floor and killed myself yesterday… I told her that she genuinely deserves someone better than a freakshow like me. Someone stronger, kinder, smarter and more honorable. She’s beautiful, kind, smart, warm, funny and I genuinely do hope she’ll find happiness and have a good life. We did argue but honestly? She took it better than I expected. It could’ve been worse. I won’t reveal the whole argument but shortly after I told her goodbye and wished her goodluck she told me “you are a good person. You aren’t the monster you think you are”. That part stuck with me deeply. Plus her eyes… she tried not to show it but I could see the pain in her eyes which made me feel even worse. I never had a high self-esteem, I still do not think I’m a good person. I removed the bad part from her life (that bad part being me of course), but why does it hurts so much? Her last words and pain in her eyes… I cannot stop thinking about that. PS: forgot to mention, I’m working on my self-control and will start seeing therapist soon

    Hey!

    That’s good that you’re seeing a therapist.

    I won’t shake your belief that she deserves someone better, because you’re convinced of that. So why not become that someone?
    She obviously likes you too. Everything you’ve explained just makes it evident. She herself even said that she thinks you’re a good person. Don’t be so harsh on yourself.

    I’m positive that she wants that better someone to be you.

    It hurts because you care. You’re not the monster you think, you were honest with her because you didn’t want to hurt her, and that shows goodness. Her words stuck because she meant them. Starting therapy is the right move, healing takes time, but you’re already on the path.
