i know this feeling. i used to check my ex's profile without even thinking, it became a habit before i realized what i was doing. every time i looked, i felt worse than before

what helped me was making it just a little harder to check. i muted, unfollowed, even logged out for a while because i knew one peek could ruin my whole day. after a few weeks the urge finally started easing up.

is it their profile you're hoping to see, or are you hoping you'll find something that makes the breakup hurt a little less?

I feel like since he’s talking to a girl he cheated on me with , i guess if i find smth it’ll be a eye opener that i wasn’t what he wanted from the start.

block them. delete them. and stop searching for them or the answers you seek. look into yourself and focus on building yourself up.
