I've been through it twice. Just ignore everything she said. You'll meet someone soon enough that will see positive where this last girl saw negative.

Sounds like she's on a power trip that most likely is fueled by her own unhappiness / insecurities. Save for a few historical figues, I don't think most people could be considered objectively bad.

Just ignore everything she said.

Sure, but it's not something that everyone can just switch on. if thte OP were that kind of person, he probably wouldn't have posted. So I think this advice is poor for this case.

This, on the other hand, is 100% true. But very hard to believe when you are in the OP's mood.

What I'm trying to say there is it's ok to ignore what she said, not that he should magically forget about her in an instant.

I get the impression that he takes her criticisms seriously. She doesn't like certain things about him and he sees those as absolute faults. I doubt he is so flawed (at least compared to everyone else) and I don't think he should look at it that way.
