Why going out makes me miss him even more

Author

yesterday I went out with my friends at night and I really felt worst, I was thinking about him all the time and I was really sad, when I'm at home I may feel sad for a moment but it's different. I don't know why it felt heavier going out, specially when I went out to try keep my mind occupied with other things that are not him

i felt this too after my breakup. staying home felt safer because i could let myself be sad without pretending i was having a good time.

i get why going out felt heavier. do you think it was being around people, or having those quiet moments where you wished he was there?

I guess both, I don't understand why I felt that way

i thought being around friends would distract me, but sometimes seeing everyone laughing while i was hurting made me miss him even more.

It can be difficult at first and I think after a breakup its normal to not feel like yourself or to be even more quiet or low mood than usual, even with friends. I think it will get better and you can be really proud of yourself for going out with friends even though it was tough. its so much easier to isolate, but you did the thing
