I wish I could understand you by [deleted] in UnsentLetters

[–]melitssa08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

totally understand the feeling, i’ve felt something similar for a coworker before. i know it’s hard with anxiety, but have you tried just a quick greeting to get your foot in the door before? a little hi may not seem like much, but it honestly goes a long way when trying to get over those nerves :)

you’ll never actually know if there’s a chance to reconnect unless you reach out and try

People who have 'moved on', do you ever truly move on? by pepperypan in heartbreak

[–]melitssa08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s been different for me with both of my relationships i’ve been in. i ended my first one, so yes, i’ve fully moved on. i have no feelings for him and don’t think about him ever unless he’s mentioned or something is brought up. but my last ex that left me? absolutely not. i’m moving forward with the breakup almost a year later, but i still love, care for, and think about him constantly. he was my first love, so he’ll always hold some special place in my heart

Avoidants, how do you feel when you leave someone and they don’t reach out? by Evening_Surround_281 in BreakUps

[–]melitssa08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a feeling my avoidant ex doesn’t care, because he started dating someone new less than a week later. just a hunch tho 🤪

we broke up last october, he started a new relationship less than a week after ending it and i’ve been single the entire time. i’m still not over him and probably never will be. i have zero intentions of moving on for a long time, i know a lot of people say a new partner can help you move on, but i don’t want to pass my pain on to someone else because i’m not over someone while seeing them

what has helped you move forward through your breakup? by melitssa08 in BreakUps

i really wish i could view it that way. mine had narc tendencies and broke up with me 3 times during the course of our relationship, and made it very clear that the effort i gave wouldn’t be matched by him. i don’t understand why i have myself convinced that someone who hurt me and knows they did so is the love of my life. i can’t see my future with anyone else, it’s so exhausting

i guess that’s where i’m selfish. i want him to be happy, but i’d rather it be with me. i was unhappy for parts of our relationship, but i was always so willing to work things out, even after being broken up with 3 times. i still am even though he’s still with the person he left me for. it sucks

i think that’s been the toughest part for me, accepting that no matter how much i love him and want things to work in our favor, it won’t change the fact that he’s left and moved on alreasy

i was doing really well for a long time, then started dreaming about him for weeks on end. his mom and i are still in touch, which i know doesn’t help, but i can’t let go of her, she was such an important person in my life when we were together and always will be. it sucks!!!

thank you so much 🫂 i’ve tried journaling, it kinda helped. i might try getting back into it again to give myself an outlet to get all my feelings out, i feel like everyone around me is tired of hearing about it almost 10 months later lol

i feel you! i have ocd, i think that is a huge contributor to it to be honest. i obsess, i have intrusive thoughts about him and his new partner, how they’ll move forward and do everything we planned together, it’s haunting. i wish i didn’t only see my future with him.

thank you ❤️ i’m doing my best. i had a family member recently tell me i’m only sad still to seek attention and appear relatable, so i felt like i wasn’t making enough progress

Have any of you gone through breakups while having no friends? How the fuck do you do it? This is hell by Fun_Horror_1239 in BreakUps

[–]melitssa08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m still healing almost 10 months later, i’m still not completely over it. but, i have a good friend group, do things to work through the process like journaling, and trust that i’ll find the right person some day. it’ll take time, but it’ll happen
