I am isolated. He seems to be the only person who tries to stay in touch. I know it's toxic but I don't want to hurt HIS feelings?

you feel like you’re holding on because you still want him, or more because you’re scared of being totally alon
it’s okay to put your feelings first. if you’re isolated, maybe reach out to a friend or even journal when the guilt hits. it helps shift the focus back to you.
i did this too… stayed with someone toxic just because i felt guilty about hurting him. i ended up hurting myself way more. that guilt kept me stuck.
If u truly want to let him go, respond to his messages. Clarify that u cant be with him anymore. Ghosting him would just hurt him more.
U could have dismissive/avoidant attachment. Because ure aware ur action is toxic but ur intend is still to not hurt them. Just remember anything toxic will hurt everyone more.
Hi there.
I think I know how you feel.
I told my ex today that I dont wanna talk to him anymore because I was afraid I'd get stuck and never move on. It was very hard for me and I'm sure I will have doubts but I'm trying to remind myself that he broke up with me
If he broke up with you and you stop talking to him, that's a consequence of his actions. It's normal that you need distance after a break-up.
I hope you find the strength to move on even if it's scary and I hope you meet new people and won't feel isolated anymore. all the best for you
