mmm interesting story.... im going to break down your whole way of thinking - this can be emotional very painfull, but remember you are in pain right now and action is the willingness to change.
first of all love is a self-hypnotic state, you can only fall in love if you hypnotize yourself enough. Most people say i love you or '' this is forever '' they implement the sub-concious thought into their own being and interalize it. The truth is .... you can fall in love with everyone or everything , there are people who love trees (treehuggers) and you have people that love certain objects and even have sex with it.
i once dumped a girl on in a very harsh but honest way... after i had a break down with my next girlfriend( she was a huge bitch with huge ego) i realized how good the other GF was - i fell in love with someone who i haven't spoke to for 6 months.
Everything that incorporates your bussy mind and uncontrollable emotions is pure confusement , you have to be aware of this.
A broken heart is not giving yourself permission to fall in love again because you have all these negative feelings . You only want to feel the positive ones but somehow when you think of all the good times you also have to deal with new negative pop-ups. If a girl dumps you your reality breaks down - your reality often consist out of '' i love you forever '' .. but hey .. '' i thought this was forever '' so your reality breaks down and instantly affects/lose your personality. identity - sanity - because you build your life or concept of love around your girlfriend, thus often affecting self-love. ( both concepts are different to a degree but you will not realize this when you're emotional).

Then I met a girl who I felt met the criteria of someone I could be with
if someone who confirms - corresponds or correlate to your reality does something which is out of your reality ( action performance ), you will get a huge blow because your still seeking external confirmation/validation of your reality'. When you meet a girl don't use criteria or judgement, becuase judging is not knowing but deceiving - you are merely reflecting everything you want on someone else.
Quote:
After 2 months we both admitted our love for another (her first).
If someone tells you i love you it magnifies the hynotic effect, what you are reflecting is received back to the creator. She confirms your reality '' i love you '' ( your self hypnotic state and that's why you fall in love for 100 %. this is the reason you felt joy, not because you seek or draw happiness from within but rather from external factors(external validation) and this time it was your relationship. She gave you joy because she confirmed your own self-illusions, now those illusions are broken down which gives a huge blow to your self esteem -because you got the feeling you need her to GET the feeling back.
It's merely you and yourself who is unhappy with itself.
Quote:
I was aware of past problems in previous relationships and took all costs to avoid them. I made everything for her,
Never avoid problems.... submerging is not arrising - let it emerge so it can be dealt with. Resisting realities by using your mind or ego is never a good option , because your mind will dwell in the past or future in a negative way. Problems can only be solved if you let them emerge, and fear not - the problem is not the person itself, often people think they are their problems OR they are their emotions. Thoughts create emotions and emotions create thoughts if you not stay in the present moment, people often will look at the past or future ( often a negative one ) - thus continues the cycle of negativity and illusions to their reality. We are not out emotions and we are not are thoughts, stop dwelling in time and focus on life - focus on the present moment.
Quote:
commonly teased her which she seemed to react well too, and basically avoided being clingy/jealous at all costs
Performing to please another is being clingy, don't act like you must do something. Don't expect and don't put up a circus, the need to please someone is being clingy. Because when someone laughs you think your funny - don't get fooled by external validation, i mean your probably a funny guy but don't let other tell you your funny or not.
Quote:
This worked well for while, until basically I must have pushed her buttons with being to cocky and almost acting careless
You acted to something you aren't... you acted too cocky and too careless like you've said, therefore there is a conlict in you. When you switch to ''normal'' mode your enviroment doesn't like you because they expect you to be '' the cocky and too careless '' thus again seeking confirmation or letting other affect your state. there is nothing wrong with being cocky as long you do it in a way which represents the real you.
Quote:
She started explaining that he was able to let out all her feelings to her, and that she was a reason to live for again. Immediate reaction I got upset and teared up, she started crying and said thats all she needed to see... is that I care. After a long weekend of her explaning why this happened and everything I agreed to still be with her as she never had actually cheated on me. I even told her she could still be friends with him, as it looks like she needs his help. At the time it was really hard for me to fathom how she was attracted to someone suicidal and so down about life.
the guy makes her feel good because he gives her a certain (external) validation , she feels important when she receives it. therefore it's not love or attraction - it's merely value from a guy who can't value himself. she is actually a leech and she leeching him, the guy is dependent on her to feel good - he needs to learn on how to feel good himself and not lean on other people or objects. She is actually destroying him because when she needs to let go of him he will be thrown of his only support pillar.
He needs to base himself on one pillar ; his own.
she is not attracted but she does admire his honesty about emotions, i think your GF wants you to be emotionally honest.
what happens when a unstable person creates a band with a unstable person ? what do the share ? their inability and unstableness. Thier whole relationship would be based on one big negative false reality. their base would not be love. However you are guessing they are together or something because you dwell in the past about what has happened ( the girl and suicidal guy ) there is no reason to assume they are together - also there is no reason to feel like it's a big loss, she doesn't represent you - or maybe she does ? ( suicidal person etc )

She told me I'm the first person she has ever fallen and love with
She hypnotized you.... like i've mensioned above. Don;t even bother because she sounds like a low quality girl with low quality inner game ... don't you wish a better girl to yourself ?
Quote:
I have one friend who had a party and picked me up last night and we had a great time
you don't need her Quote:
I'm not truley happy, and all I can do is think about her
because your mind - your ego want to hold on the the hypnotic state of feel good .... the hynotic state of love WHICH is a illusion. im single ... i've been trough alot of shit and muliple relationships and i have almost nothing in the material realm, i feel happy and i feel good. if i can do it you can do it.
ok you lost her and you to deal with that it's normal and healthy, but you didn't lost yourself - you only lost her. You have a problem and when it emerges you seek refuge in external things which we delude ourself makes our happy. like love is self-hypnosis SELF HATE and UNHAPPYNESS is also self-hypnosis , your concious mind choose these state because your unconcious mind is out of reach and in conflict.
The void is created in you and the unhappyness is created within you, don't resist and don't seek refuge- untie the knot.
GIVING up the good moments you had with this girl is giving up the newly formed reality of love which is created in your mind by self-hypnosis.
Experiencing things - example ; going out , bungee jumping , relationships, IS not ADDING. it's unadding - it's shedding your bark untill you find the real self. All things in life ALL experiences you go through make who you are now - the enlightment and life-lessons you learn from it is forming you.
You feel like everything is negative because you think everything is adding to your life HOWEVER it didn,t ; you was only shedding your bark, the ego wants to fight this and keeps the ideal of adding. because in the west we learn to add , we think a car adds to our life , we think a car will get us better girls BUT it is not us who is drawing happiness out of ourself, it is the car that is drawing the girls. Thus you are unhappy.
when you think something will add to your life... completely change your way of thinking, think : this is unadding , this is shedding my skin until i become my throught self. you are far way of inner happiness because the mindset of ''adding'' counts for postive as well as negative. when you don't think it will add you will not add negativity anymore. Negativity will be the cold rain which will wash the mud from your body.
nothing is difficult because you are who you are and you realize you need to learn to become a better person ( closer to the real you ), don't get affected what people will think or say about you because they are stuck into negativity themself - they are the ones who are afraid what people will think of them.
Difficulty exists in afrika.. in the war zones where 120 people die each day , we have no problems here , especially in the west. Know what you're gratefull for recognize what you have.
because.... no matter what .. you have still YOU... so from now on there is now past or future .. only the present and you will change right now .. in the present.
When light shines on darkness the object will be seen, everything in touch with light will become light itself. try to shine light on yourself...
