Why can't i move on from my ex?

Author

I still deeply love my ex and miss him terribly. Our relationship was great until misunderstandings tore us apart and it’s eating me alive.
My friends can casually text and meet up with their exes but I’m terrified to even send him a message. I don't just want to be friends but he lives in my head rent-free and I can't seem to move past this fear or the pain. I feel so stuck and have no idea what to do next.

i loved my ex deeply too, and the worst part was knowing i missed him while being too scared to reach out because i knew one message could crack me right open again

i’ve been stuck in that exact place, wanting more than friendship but being terrified of what contact would do to me

you imagine texting him, what scares you more, him not replying the way you hope, or opening that door and getting pulled back into everything?

if u don't wan be friends & afraid I recommend no contact focus yourself do journal u feeling write all what u wan say to him. go out friend do hobby read book gym made yourself busy rest too take care yourself. are him cold to u ? stop stalker her account too cuz it's ruin mood. if he wan miss u he will reach out he men grass not green
