Basically i was dating this girl and i told her i loved her and she didnt feel the same and she dragged me along for months and her friends were dragging her away and i felt angry at the end of the relationship. And about 2 weeks later im not talking to another girl and weve started dating and i feel like its moved along really quickly and im not sure ive moved on and at the moment im confused if i like this new girl or if its me just trying to forget her by dating another girl and. And i talked to my ex the other day and it made me forget how angry i was at her and i just feel conflicted and confused and i dont think some of my friends would get it
Hey there, I just want to say that what you’re feeling is completely valid. Breakups can be incredibly messy, and emotions don’t just disappear overnight. It sounds like you’re going through a lot right now, and that’s completely okay. Healing isn’t a straight path after all.
It’s understandable that you might feel unsure about your new relationship. If it feels like things are moving too fast, you have every right to take a step back and figure out what you truly want. Sometimes, when we’re hurting, we try to fill the space that someone left in our lives without fully processing what happened. You deserve clarity and peace to take the next step in life, so give yourself grace and space to work through these feelings without pressure.
You’re not alone in this. You’re stronger than you think, and you’ll find your way through this. Take all the time you need to process your emotions fully, there’s no need to rush into things. Wishing you the best in your journey!
thank you very much i feel alot better now especially after a good night of sleep
that’s good news! continue to take care of yourself and rest well
Dear @DavidDavido
Thank you for opening up — what you’re going through is completely valid, and you’re not alone in feeling this way. Breakups, especially ones where you gave so much emotionally and didn’t feel it returned, can leave you with lingering confusion, pain, and even guilt when trying to move forward.
It makes a lot of sense that after feeling dragged along, you’d still carry emotional weight, even after starting something new. Sometimes, our hearts want to move on, but our minds are still tangled in the “what ifs” and unresolved feelings. That doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong — it just means you’re human, and you’re processing things in your own time.
It’s okay to not have everything figured out right now. Love, hurt, healing — they aren’t tidy or linear. You will get through this. The fact that you’re reflecting on your emotions shows you care deeply, and that self-awareness will guide you toward clarity.
You don’t have to force yourself to be okay before you’re ready. Give yourself permission to feel, to question, and to take your time. Whether this new relationship grows into something meaningful or helps you learn more about yourself, it’s part of your healing journey — not a failure or a distraction.
And even if your friends may not fully get it, that doesn’t mean what you’re feeling is any less real.
You’re doing your best, and that’s more than enough. One step at a time — you will come out stronger and more grounded than before. Jounalling what you are feeling is one way that could help you sort through your feelings. Please also reach out here whenever you need to. Please take good care of yourself.
