Why does every song remind me of my ex?

What happens when every song on your algorithm is a reminder of them? I’m so frustrated that I can’t reach out even when I want to. I wonder if her algorithm is the same because we were both in to the same music 😩

wanting to text so badly and having to sit on my hands to stop myself. the urge feels huge in the moment, but i learned that missing someone doesn’t always mean i need to go back to them.

every song felt like it had my ex’s name written all over it. even the random ones hurt because he brought back a whole version of my life

This is the part I hate most is that I attach songs to people and they come back to haunt me it seems they play more when I'm hurting I had to find a new Playlist just so id stop crying on every song that was playing on my personal Playlist I also didnt realize how sad all my song were until now but im so tiered of being sad and missing him that I have changed everything I dont watch romance movies or read romance books or listen to sad romantic music which sux because I loooove romance but right now it isn't helping my healing process 😔 anyway I hope in all this rambling that it helps

do you miss the songs themselves now, or does it feel like the songs are the only thing still connecting you two?

I know the feeling. And honestly I don’t think there’s a way to “fix it”. I just worked through my emotions until I could listen to the songs again without breaking.

I do. I have had one of those and it makes music unbearable. maybe try a podcast for now?

I totally understand the issue with the music. Whenever A song comes on my phone on the radio that I know that he liked or he used to listen to or even that we used to listen to together, it always makes me think of him immediately. And it hurts for a little bit and it is really hard for me to change the song into a different song. but after I change the song, I don’t think about him anymore until another song that reminds me of him comes on. So you just had to be brave enough to change the song and it will eventually get better. I know it’s hard but I promise you that it will feel OK eventually. I am starting to feel OK now.

You don’t understand how deeply ingrained in music this relationship was
