don't think i'd rush to label it as codependency. for me, i just stayed curious about whether i wanted THAT person or if i was chasing the high of falling in love. asking myself that changed a lot.

when you say "toxic lover girl feelings," what does that actually look like for you? is it wanting a relationship again, or feeling like you need one to feel okay?

One example is my ability to crush on someone so easily that I don't even know

i relate to this more than i'd like to admit. after my breakup i realized i wasn't just missing him, i was missing the feeling of being chosen. once i saw that, i started being a lot gentler with myself.

I like that. It makes more sense when it's framed that way. Thanks

I feel the same way. I sought constant validation and was emotionally completely dependent on him.
It's feels like the hardest part to let go.
