Why do i feel anxious seeing my ex move on?

Author

I broke up with my ex a week ago today . Every day , or at least most of these days . He's been going out with friends or family constantly. I don't know why I always find excuses to check his stories and statuses and make my myself upset when I see he went out . It's not that I don't want him too I feel anxious. Every time I get an update about his life I get anxious. I want to move on but for some reason I don't want him to . I want him to want me . I don't know how to explain that feeling . I get so anxious when I see that hes out . How to stop this feeling and is this normal?

seeing him out start making you anxious right after the breakup, or did something happen between you two that made it feel even heavier

nothing toxic which makes it harder to move on . Really we broke up because he did things that hurt me , but he didn't know (I'm sensitive..) and couldn't explain his side . Or if I did SMT that hurt him he couldn't bring it up because that's the childhood he grew up with. Also he'd lie and make a lot of excuses so that really had an affect on me when he'd tell me smt . I honestly don't know I'd just get this heavy heart feeling when I found out he was out
