How can I not let bullshi*t get to me personally(not that long lol)?

I have trouble dealing with other people's choices and things they do that affect me. I think I have ok self esteem, but sometimes I get SO pissed off I start practically harassing people and sending them mean texts and whatnot. Even if it's a situation I have no control over. Like, this guy and I used to talk for a good 3-4 months and we sent each other lots of cute and naked pics, called, texted each other and made videos for each other.

Then one day, he starts saying he can't because he has a boyfriend now and felt like he would be "cheating" because he really likes the guy. Next thing you know, he ignores me and he hasn't replied at all for like two weeks. No explanation, nothing. And i'm ******* annoyed because i can see him post on his twitter about his boyfriend and even his ex.

Sad thing is, my (long distance) ex did the same thing too. We talked after a long time of not speaking, and sent each other a naked pic or two. Next thing I know, he says he can't because he's been "unfaithful" to his boyfriend. WTF lol, like now I'm almost starting to feel more straight and feel prejudice to gay guys(i'm bisexual). I guess I'll just continue being the chill mysterious loner. Lol

    When you were talking to these guys, you thought maybe you had something with them, right? And perhaps they claimed to feel the same way at some point. Things may have seemed cool, right up until they revealed they had boyfriends of their own, and started ignoring you...

    I have learned from experience that not every person is genuine with their actions or words. I once had a crush on someone who initially seemed to care a lot about me. No, dating was not something we seriously considered at that time, but we became good friends, and he said that would never change. Guess what? Just a few months later, he stopped talking to me, with no explanation. In other words, he abandoned me.

    These guys may have appeared to like you, especially when you sent each other pics, but the fact that they suddenly claimed to have boyfriends means that they were talking to other guys around the same time they were talking to you. So the sad truth is, these guys may have not even intended to go any further than they did. And even if they were interested in you, some people change, for whatever reason.

    You have the right to feel snubbed, but I would try not to feel so bad, because if people are going to toy with your emotions like that, by acting like they're interested in you and then ignore you like you never existed, then they don't deserve you. And no, it's not something that's exclusive to gay men... not at all. It's a human thing. The human race is cruel in many ways, but hopefully the next person you start talking to likes you for you, and would want to remain close to you if not more than friends.
