  • - [Narrator] I'm gonna share with you

  • my personal break-up story, so let's get into it.

  • (dramatic rumble)

  • When I was in the 10th grade I met this beautiful girl

  • named Nicky and I remember she had long brown hair,

  • dark brown eyes, she had one of the warmest smiles

  • that you could ever imagine.

  • She really was the whole package, she was smart, athletic,

  • funny and the only reason why I was even talking to her

  • in the first place was because she was my brother's

  • girlfriend's best friend.

  • And I didn't make a move on her at that time

  • because I had no self-esteem or confidence.

  • So I just placed myself in the friend zone.

  • I remember during that first month of school

  • so many guys wanted her but I remember

  • two guys in particular who really, really liked her.

  • And they were the captains of both the rugby team

  • and the rowing team.

  • And after she got to know them she eventually ended up

  • choosing the captain of the rowing team.

  • And this guy was tall, he was a senior,

  • he had blonde hair and blue eyes.

  • He was a stereotypical good-looking guy.

  • And during their relationship Nicky and I became

  • better and better friends and she would tell me

  • all the things that she didn't like about Mr Blue Eyes.

  • Like how he wasn't very caring, he wasn't really that funny

  • and he just wasn't that great of a guy overall.

  • And he also really didn't like how much she was talking

  • to me, which I honestly don't really blame him for,

  • I really was playing that stereotypical guy friend who,

  • you know, obviously secretly liked her.

  • But after a couple of months the novelty of Mr Blue Eyes

  • wore off, and she broke up with him.

  • And throughout this time her and I became closer and closer

  • but just as friends.

  • And I usually don't really like the fairytale stories

  • like in movies where the shy friend somehow ends up

  • with the attractive girl, but the more time we spent

  • together the more we both started to care for one another.

  • And eventually she started to get feelings for me,

  • so I somehow, some way got out of the friend zone.

  • But despite the very obvious signs of attraction

  • that she was giving off I still was a very unconfident kid

  • and I simply was not able to make a move on her.

  • I didn't even know what making a move entailed at that time.

  • So she was the one who ended up making a move on me

  • and this move took place on December 31st of 2009

  • over MSN Messenger.

  • "Mitch, I have something to tell you."

  • "What is it?"

  • "I cannot really tell you over messenger."

  • "Uh, yes you can, just type it in."

  • "It's three words."

  • "Is it, I love you?"

  • "It's I love you, and I have for a long time."

  • And that is how we started dating,

  • over MSN Messenger in 2009.

  • And the next day we met up and we went on our first

  • official date.

  • And from that day forward we were basically inseparable.

  • And for the next three years we shared a lot of experiences

  • together, we supported each other as competitive athletes,

  • we were there for each other when tragedy struck,

  • we had a lot of first times together, and we would

  • even talk about our futures.

  • Like, we would sit there and talk about marriage, kids,

  • living together, and it all just way too intense

  • for a high-school relationship.

  • Nicky was also a very talented rower and she was offered

  • many full-ride scholarships to go to schools

  • in the United States, which was kind of a problem for us

  • because I was planning on going to school in Canada.

  • And I remember at one point she actually offered to stay

  • in Victoria for our relationship and to go to school

  • with me, and as much as I did want this

  • I knew she didn't really want that.

  • So I actually encouraged her to go away because I knew

  • that is what was best for her.

  • (dramatic rumble)

  • And it's now at this point in the story where things

  • start to get a little interesting and much, much more juicy.

  • (dramatic rumble)

  • Just before summer began, she committed to going to school

  • in the United States which meant we were about to embark

  • on the long-distance relationship.

  • And something that I need to mention is that Nicky had

  • this friend who was also a rower and his name was Liam.

  • And Liam kind of played a similar role as I did

  • in the beginning of the story, as being in the friend zone.

  • But the difference between him and I was that Liam

  • would try to actively break us apart because he was really

  • into her and he really didn't like me.

  • So when Liam found out about us trying to do long-distance

  • he saw that as an opportunity to pounce on our relationship.

  • And the reason why I know this is because

  • I did something that I'm really not proud of

  • and it's something that I'm pretty hesitant to even

  • bring up because, you know, it's pretty embarrassing.

  • But I guess this is me just being 100% transparent

  • with you guys.

  • So, this is what happened.

  • One day, Nicky and I were sitting beside each other

  • on my bed and I see that her phone was buzzing a lot.

  • And I look over at it and I saw all these long paragraphs.

  • So I say to her, "Jeez, who's writing, like, this

  • "long essay to you?"

  • And she says, "Oh, nothing, it's just rowing stuff."

  • And she really quickly puts the phone away

  • but as she was doing that I could see that the messages

  • were from Liam.

  • And then once she put her phone away she started to act

  • really weird and distant and quiet.

  • And I had known her for long enough to know

  • when something was wrong, and something was definitely wrong

  • and she wouldn't tell me what it is.

  • When Nicky left my house I did something very shameful

  • and I logged onto her Facebook account

  • to see what was going on.

  • And this is when something absolutely crazy happened.

  • Keep in mind, this is in 2011 and Facebook was still

  • kind of new, and there were still a few bugs on the website.

  • When I logged onto her Facebook account

  • she was also logged in and I could see that she was

  • in the middle of a conversation with Liam.

  • But the weird part was that I could see

  • everything that she was doing.

  • So, imagine you are watching a livestream of your girlfriend

  • on Facebook and you could see who she's writing with,

  • you could see where she's clicking.

  • You could see absolutely everything.

  • But before I could really see what they were writing

  • she clicks out of the conversation, goes to the chat history

  • of her messages with Liam

  • and deletes the entire conversation.

  • And then 10 minutes later I get a text from Nicky

  • saying, "I need to talk to you about something,

  • "are you free tomorrow?"

  • (dramatic rumble)

  • And when I read that text my heart sank, it was like

  • my sixth sense was telling me that something

  • really bad was about to happen.

  • I said, "Okay, meet me at 11 a.m."

  • So the next day comes around and I'm sitting

  • on the bench at my park waiting for her,

  • and I was just trying to prepare myself for the worst,

  • and then all of a sudden I see her car pull up

  • and the moment she got out of the car

  • and made eye-contact with me she bursts into tears.

  • Like, I'm talking, tears are rolling down her face.

  • Her face is swollen and then she runs up to me

  • and gives me a big hug and neither of us said anything

  • for a long time.

  • So after we both had calmed down a bit

  • I asked her what was going on.

  • And she told me that she had come to break up with me

  • and now that she was there with me she couldn't do it.

  • And she said to me that she wasn't even sure even if

  • she wanted to do it, which made it even more clear

  • that certain people, or a certain someone,

  • was convincing her to do it.

  • I'm not gonna go into too much detail

  • about our conversation but the end result

  • was Nicky not knowing what she wanted

  • and we both were just really confused.

  • After a few days of talking we ended up deciding

  • to stay together and to try long-distance.

  • But after that day at that park

  • something really interesting happened to me.

  • When she told me that she was thinking of breaking up

  • with me, the thought of a future that didn't involve her

  • was planted inside my brain.

  • And over the next few months that seed started to grow.

  • Back then, I had this huge fear of losing Nicky

  • and being alone, we both had relied so much

  • on each other for our positive emotions, like love

  • and happiness, and I think we both were really scared

  • that we wouldn't be able to find someone better

  • if we broke up, and this was especially a problem for me.

  • But when my fear of being alone and losing her

  • became a reality I realized that it wasn't as bad

  • as I thought.

  • Now, of course I was still really upset and sad

  • and probably borderline depressed at this time.

  • But I was still alive and breathing, and I think

  • a lot of people today are scared

  • that they're not going to be able to go on

  • and live their life if they lose a certain person.

  • Most people today get into relationships based on fear.

  • We fear the thought of being alone

  • or we fear the thought of being 40 years old

  • and being that weird, older person at that bar

  • still looking for love.

  • And we fear this so much that most of us end up

  • settling for someone who we may not even be the right match

  • for, or maybe we'll get to the arbitrary age of, say, 30 and

  • then we decide it's time to get married.

  • And we just stay with the person we are with at that time

  • because it's convenient.

  • In my video about how I became popular

  • I briefly talked about taking responsibility

  • for your emotions.

  • If you are not experiencing happiness, love and self-worth

  • from just being by yourself then finding a partner

  • is not going to solve this.

  • It could give you a temporary happiness, maybe even

  • as long as five or ten years, but those toxic, dependent

  • roots will still remain inside you.

  • So if you're still watching this, ask yourself,

  • why do I want a relationship?

  • Or if you're already with someone ask yourself,

  • why am I with this person?

  • And be really honest with yourself, because I really

  • do believe you can't have a great relationship

  • if it's based around fear.

  • If you wanna learn how to get over a breakup
