I'm scared

Author

It’s been 7 days of no contact, and I’m really proud of myself. But I’m scared that if he texts me ‘Happy New Year,’ I’ll get weak, reply, and undo all the progress I’ve made

if he did text, what do you think you’d be hoping to feel by replying? relief, connection, or just not wanting to seem cold?

being scared of replying actually means you care about protecting yourself

@NovaSnap180 yes you can do it, if you really want to move on you have to do this for yourself this is the first step

@NovaSnap180 it may seem hard rn, every time you're about to unblock or reach out always remember how you ended up in this situation.

@NovaSnap180 ik you probably want to talk to him or still hoping that maybe things could be different but what if its not different then what

@Snowyvibes I agree with you, I blocked my ex after he blocked me and I don't feel all that anxiety anymore, it helps a lot

@Snowyvibes the problem that we never date and I'm the problem tbh he did everything for 2 years so we can be together but I pushed him countless time without reason

believe replying will undo all the progress. it will give a sense for relief for a mint and then you will start all over again.
not worth the restart
start the year with new goals and new interests and screw 2025
