Remember not to live to support other people. They really won't mind if you need some time to focus on you (particularly if they love you). Self care is just as if not more important. Moreover, you can take better care of others if you're in decent shape, yourself. :yes:

The bad news is, this shit hurts. It's like you are going through withdrawal. It is actually quite a lot like that.
The good news is, (almost) every single person goes through this sometime or another and pretty much all of them turn out fine. It won't kill you and you will get over this. It might not feel like it right now, but as little as you can imagine this whole pain going away, in a couple of weeks or months (depends entirely on the person and how you use your new free time) you won't be able to imagine anymore how bad that really hurt.
Just give it time.

A long term sexual relationship with Daily sex? Don't get your hopes up but trying to find a girl who will have sex with you everyday, is asking for a bit much, Girls want more from relationships than just sex, They want to be cared for, Wanted, They don't want to be feeling like someones only with them for their body.
Maybe when you're "going" out you're coming across too strong, do you literally walk up to someone and say "hi, My names Adam. Have sex with me?" Buy her a drink, Get to know her...Listen to her, then she might just invite you back...Don't go out looking to get 'some'. you'll end up looking like a jerk.

I think that whatever is decided, everyone needs to remember that YouthNet, TheSite and the services provided are unique and we are lucky to have them. Helen, Jo, James and everyone else do not need to give up their evenings for us, but they do and it's sad that a small minority are abusing that privilege. As with the real world, there is a chance that you will come across someone who you don't necessarily like but it's time to be mature and get over it quite frankly. You wouldn't scream abuse at someone in the street so it is not okay to do on the internet. For the most part, the discussion boards and live chat offer vital support and it would be a great shame if we lost that. Live chat is changing; it is getting busier and part of that means more peer support and less moderator support. Everyone here, whether they are new members or long standing one, has something to offer which could help someone else. I personally think that should be something to be proud of.
That is all.
