Expectations vs. Reality

Hey guys, check out this video first before moving on to the second one, as I use it here to illustrate my point.

If you’ve ever experienced the pain of losing someone, there is a technique you need to learn for shifting the emotion you feel when you’re heartbroken. So even if you’re not heartbroken right now, maybe you have been in the past, or maybe you want to be fully equipped with it for the future!

  • Thank you for caring.Yeah, it’s a great film and a reminder that guys get hurt too.
    It is had to get over that disappointment, especially when you see others start new relationships quickly, and you just can’t seem to meet somebody who meets your requirements. ( Eg he’s nice but you don’t feel physically attracted, or worse, a new guy seems to meet your requirements but he isn’t interested in you! Sigh.)

  • I have seen this film sometime ago and it is really a good film.I am still in love with a guy that was not for me, in the end I was just happy to be in his company. Know thats gone I think about hin everyday why! because he let me just be me nothing was wrong with me the way I was in his eyes.I which I could see him just one last time to tell him how much he has done for me.

  • hey matt,
    thank you so much for your very,very helping words!
    I have to admit I am not even 19 yet and I know I am far away from finding the love of my life. But thanks to you, I am sure I will be able to have this relationship I always hoped for! Right now I am truly struggling with a heartbreak..and this video helped me very well to reduce that pain.
    Thanks a lot!

  • Hi Matt,

    Very well made point and I completely agree.
    I think I do a terrible thing which is I compare all of the guys I meet to an Ex I had who broke my heart but who I believed at the time was the “perfect” person for me. Its unrealistic and unfair. All of your blogs just speak basic common sense but are very effective because alot of time common sense can go out the window when you become invested in a relationship or the idea of a “perfect” relationship.
    Thanks for your wonderful and genuine blogs.

  • I think I might me numb and negative…. I don´t wanna be though!! But I never fall in love and (ergo) never get hurt. I admire the people who are so hurt because of love, because it means they HAVE loved! Any idea what I can do to get this love thing going?

  • Incredible and soothing advice that Matthew gave. Gave me an insight into turning my thinking about heart-breaks round. Feel-good factor and I’m going to try project his idea into my mind.

  • Wow.. never really thought of it like that- and I wouldn’t have either if you hadnt brought it up. Thank you for all the time you put in to do these vids. Love em

  • Hey Matt!!

    When I opened your email today from the newsletter my immediate thought of the title of the subject was “Gee, this reminds me so much of that one scene from 500 days of summer!” And so I was both pleasantly surprised – as it is one of my favorite films – and saddened – because it is a sad part in the film – when I watched your first video link here! However, when I watched your second video, I wasn’t able to fully immerse myself and appreciate what you had to offer to the vlog because I’ve never found someone who I was truly afraid to lose and who I thought was my soul mate. But then I remembered that a close girlfriend of mine was and is going through this exact situation in her life and I felt compelled to pass this video on to her. I’m not as experienced when it comes to relationships and dating, but I know that you are and so I truly hope this video is able to provide an alternative insight for her that she wasn’t able to see because of the pain acting as a barrier to hope. Thank you for your incredible and simply remarkable insight to life and love, it truly means the world to me.

    With multitudes of love, Elizabeth

  • this actually applies to may relashioships in life,like friendships for instance. theyre a rule that could be applied to almost any situation.

  • heyy thanxx for both vídeos ….i understand that i need to be realistic and let go of that person(experience) and move forward but in my case the problem is that whenever i meet someone knew he’s always the point of reference and at the end no one mesures up :'( i compare them in terms of personality, physics everything and it ends up ruining any attemtp of relationship,even though it was a long time ago ……it’s not like i wanna go back with him, even if it might sound like it, but i don’t know what else to do i’ve tried everything going out with people completely opposite …..i don’t mean to compare, it just comes naturally…..could it be that i’m obsessed with this guy???….or maybe i’m reluctant to wake up to reality.

  • I’ve been single for 10 years in August. At 32 it’s starting to get me down. I am getting proactive and have had 2 dates this week but guys online seem to fib a lot (whether it be personality, weight or looks)! Still have trouble meeting people one to one though. I worry that I’m becoming empty as you describe as now when it goes wrong – I just move on and don’t look back. Perhaps I expect it to go wrong so it’s no surprise. Hopefully I can work on myself and make it work. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
