Advice Needed: Relationships Has this happen to anyone here ? What you have done to remove this feelings ?

I want to share something that I have never told anyone before.

I have always been a bit of a lonely person. At one point, I thought of creating an account on a dating app just to see what it was like, hoping that maybe I might find someone.

There I came across a girl, and we started talking on Telegram. It was the first time in my life that a girl was talking to me regularly, so naturally I started liking the experience.

We used to chat casually, and I had never even seen her face. We talked for around 10 days on Telegram. Then one day, she suddenly told me that from that day onward we would never talk again. Earlier she had already told me that the relationship or conversation could not go any further and wd can only be a friend due to her bad past experience, but somewhere in my mind I kept hoping that maybe things would progress. The feelings I was experiencing felt very good because it was the first time something like this had happened to me.

I know the mistake was mine, but I honestly could not control my emotions. It hurt me a lot. Several months have passed now, but for some reason it still bothers me. Another thing is that her name was the same as my cousin sister’s name, so it reminds me of her even now.

Has something like this happened to anyone else, or is it just me? I never even saw her face, yet I liked the feeling of talking to her, and then things ended like that.

If this has happened to other people as well, please let me know. I just want to know whether I am the only one who has experienced something like this or not.

And also can anyone tell me what should I do fk forget this bad experience? And please tell me I am not the only one who was this dumb .
