Scared to let go
The story
I want to let go of him. I’ve found myself looking to others and gaining my spark back again. But I find myself thinking about him moving on from me, and it upsets me. He doesn’t seem to appreciate all I’ve done for him and my friendship. Always looking elsewhere. And yet I feel so attached still. How do you let go of smtg when your past self really doesn’t want to let go?

totally get where you're coming from... letting go can be such a pain when you're still emotionally tied down; it's like you're stuck in a loop that you just can't break free from??? it's frustrating when people don't appreciate your efforts and just seem to move on like it’s no big deal. been there, done that. why do we even let these situations get to us???? can't help but think, if they ain't putting in the effort, why’re we wasting our energy thinking about them??? 😒 sometimes, it's just better to cut ties and focus on the new sparks and people who actually reciprocate your vibes. you deserve better!!
Thank you 🫶 I’m trying not to be so hard on myself but it’s hard.
i get what you're saying, and it's really tough trying to let go of someone when you're still kinda attached to them but also feeling like you're coming alive when you're around new people; it's like your emotions are all over the place, right? it's normal to feel upset thinking about him moving on, especially if you're remembering all those efforts you put into the friendship that went unnoticed. letting go isn't easy, and sometimes your heart and mind aren't on the same page, which can be seriously confusing. but hey, it's important to recognize that your happiness matters, and exploring new connections might just be the way to reignite that spark in your life. it's all about focusing on what makes you feel good and appreciated while giving yourself space to heal and move forward in your own time. hanging onto those fond memories is okay, but remember you've got a whole future ahead of you with plenty of room for new opportunities and experiences!
Ugh thank you, that’s so true. I have so much passion and fire than I had before, but I’m self sabotaging a little.
hey, i totally get your frustration, but it feels a bit like you're holding onto something that's not working for either of you. 💔 sometimes, it's more about our ego rather than our heart, you know? been there myself, thinking about them moving on hits the pride more than the heart. in my opinion, if the relationship dynamics are off and he's not valuing your input, it might be time to recalibrate your emotional investments. focusing on your personal journey and rediscovering what makes you tick can be really rewarding. it's like you’re running outdated software and need an upgrade! sure, it's tough, but clinging to the past won't change his behavior—only how you react to it. maybe try thinking of it as freeing yourself up for something, or someone, a lot more deserving. 😊
Thank you, and i honestly think you’re right. I think it’s my ego saying that I don’t want him to love someone more than me. But he’s been a bit of a parasite, and I’m slowly starting to release him.
hey, i totally understand where you're coming from. it's frustrating when you're putting in a lot of effort and it feels like the other person is just not seeing it; happens often in relationships, and i agree it's hard to move on. sometimes it feels like you're hitting a wall with no feedback or appreciation. that attachment lingers, and it’s a real challenge to process those feelings. you're in a tough spot, but focusing on the good vibes you've found with others might help shift your perspective a bit. it's important to think about what makes you genuinely happy and fulfilled. maybe giving more attention to the things you enjoy could make a positive difference.
