@hopefulencounter I understand that you're toooo much attached to that person that even if they feel harmful you wanna be with them. But think it over, you either be happy for short interval of time and then hurted or be hurted for short interval of time and then be positive. Think it over man.

@JusWnnaTalk yes I'm still trying.Β I realized this is no longer for me, most of my overthinking roots from this online connection. I know it's not good, but part of me want go give it another chance. But I guess now it can't be helped because I felt so cold when I logged in again just to wish one of them a happy birthday. πŸ˜”πŸ«£

@hopefulencounter I know that kind of feeling mate. But to be happy yourself, you need to forget some memories. I also had some memories which made me cry for hours, but when you understand that your happiness matters the most, you begin to change.

@JusWnnaTalk πŸ₯Ή thank you so much for hearing my story and giving me advice. I really agree with you, to be happy something must be left behind.. It's weird how something once made me feel comfortable but now it's becoming the reason of my fear and anxiety. I understand, I shouldn't trust online connection, even real connection can't last long. I was so naive and such a people pleaser πŸ˜”πŸ˜ž

@hopefulencounter hey it's not bad to be kind enough to get attached. I know you must be feeling broken. But only after giving it your time, you can actually overcome it. If you just let it be, it will linger in your mind for long enough. So confront the truth and work towards your happiness 😊

@JusWnnaTalk yes that's why I chose to wish them a happy birthday yesterdayy because I knew I'll feel more bad if I don't wish her. I will take it slow now, rarely online, reply slowly, so I don't feel too ignored by them

It is okay to feel that way, you don't need to force yourself to feel otherwise. You are still grieving the loss, even if it were online only, it still feels real. Give yourself time, you'll be able to move on from it. Be kind to yourself in the mean time, and remember why you decided to leave the friendship.

I hope you get well as time goes by, hugs πŸ€—

@hopefulencounter Honestly, I think you made the right decision. It's best to end a friendship before it becomes exhausting if it begins to feel awkward. The upside is that since it's online, you can block them and move on, so you don't have to deal with them again. Even though it hurts, and you may feel bad about it, it wasn't wrong. Everything happens for a reason, and it's usually for the best, You will feel lighter and much better after this short period of pain. In the meantime, treat yourself with kindness ❀️

@Xooos thank you so much for telling me this, I feel slightly lighter after hearing this from you..πŸ₯ΉπŸ«Ά Yes I believe it's for the better that's why I tried to avoid it so many times, it's because I don't wanna be hurt by my own expectations of them again..
