Someone tried to hit on me in a store

Author

Someone tried to hit on me in a store. He seemed nice, but too eager in my opinion. But still, I felt pretty because of the attention, so I went with it for a bit. It felt like a long time since I flirted with anyone else because for 3 years I only ever wanted the attention of only one guy. I felt giddy when I went home, but that faded right away, something in me flipped, and I crashed into the bed, crying. It's as if my body was punishing me. I was so loyal to him that he consumed all of me, and now my mind won't let me open up to someone else. I know this would be temporary...I know it'll get better. But right now, I can hardly breathe. I felt so depressed. My whole being craves the guy who feels comfortable without my presence. I feel so pathetic.

Feeling conflicted is a sign that you’re processing everything that’s a good thing.

You’re not pathetic you’re human. It’s okay to feel sad and miss what you had but don’t forget that you deserve happiness and someone who values you.

you gave so much of yourself to someone and it’s hard to move on. But this is just a moment in time it will pass and you’ll feel stronger.

You're not alone. This is what I'm going through right now. I'm scared of meeting other people because it may mean forgetting him. But what's more scary is waiting for someone who may bave already let go. Life is short. We deserve to be happy. We got this.

You’re not alone in feeling this way. It’s tough to open up again after being so loyal to someone but this is just a temporary hurdle.

It’s completely normal to feel torn like this. You gave so much of yourself to someone it takes time to heal. Don’t be too hard on yourself you’re allowed to feel.

You’re not pathetic at all. It’s hard to let go of someone who meant so much to you but this is just a phase.

It’s okay to feel this way it’s part of the healing process. You’ve been through a lot emotionaly it’s natural to feel conflicted.
