Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- People keep telling me I need to let them go and move on, and everything in me refuses
- After we fight we just let it sit for days with neither of us reaching out, and the hurt quietly piles up until I start reading even neutral things they do as another little jab
- I keep telling myself to just move past what they did and not make a big deal of it, so I never actually look the hurt in the face
- I had a good run going and then I missed a couple of days, and now it feels like proof I’m just someone who can’t stick to anything
- When it gets too intense I just shut down and walk off to cool down
