so to continue my previous post where he turned on his location and sent it to me and had small talk with me asking if he was going to hurt himself. I was left on read if he wanted to talk what's on his mind and how many drinks did he have. at first I was using logic that he only fell asleep hence left on read, but confirmed it that he left me on read on purpose because I saw he just reposted videos on tiktok. I hate how stupid I look. I had to reset my no contact clock because of this. I hate it.

i’ve had to remind myself that caring about someone doesn’t make me stupid. i would reset my no contact too when something like that happened, but i started seeing it as a reminder of what i needed to protect, not a failure.
oh no i am so sorry to hear that I still think you did the right thing. no matter how much people take advantage of your kindness dont stop being there for people even when they dont deserve it. if I can just ask why you havent blocked him completely? and if its because you think hes gonna hurt himself do you think he knows that and thats why he reaches out because he knows you will answer at his beck and call? sometimes exs contact us not because they miss us or love us but because they want to see if they have that power over you still its an ego thing for them especially when you respond and they leave you on read because they know you are probably spiraling now waiting for their reply.
thank you, uhm he requested for us not to unfriend/block/unfollow and to reach out to one another when we have intent to hurt ourselves. (we both have history of self harm) idk if he's doing it cuz of the power idk, I dont think he'll be that cruel but the evidence suggests otherwise
i’ve been there, reaching out because i was worried about him and then feeling embarrassed when he doesn’t show up for me the same way. that little “did i just make a fool of myself
be kind to yourself. You did what any of us would have done
when he turned on his location and asked if he was going to hurt himself, did it feel like he was reaching for you because he needed comfort, or did it bring back hope that maybe he wanted to reconnect
it felt like he needed comfort
