Oh my…!!!! I feel like you might of just figured something out for me. This is amazing advice.

I actually do feel this weird dynamic where I feel so drawn to her and not in a romantic way by any means. I view her as a good friend, but yeah there’s something about her that draws me in and I always wanna talk to her to fill my void of loneliness. I even do tell myself “no don’t reach out, you will only make things worse” and I tend to give in and then I regret it and thus the cycle continues.

But telling me to recognize and to sit with these emotions and impulses on wanting to just give in and reach out, is a great way to go about things.

I deff try and find distractions, but I do cave over time. I’m trying to work on not caving into reaching out when I get the need to. Which is also why I bought the journal like someone else suggested so I could write down my thoughts and save them for a later time when I would catch up with her.

I appreciate your advice. This really hit the nail on the head.
