After a breakup most people are more sensitive than in other times, but being sensitive weeks, months, and maybe even years later, not good. Sure I’ve had good times since my most recent breakup, but come on, there’s no way I should still feel like this.

1. You’re still friends with them on social media.
   • You don’t have the guts to delete them, but you don’t want to see how their life is going.
2. The smallest things remind you of them.
   • Every time I see a jewelry counter I can’t help but remember the ring my ex gave me, and the fact that I threw it away when we got into an argument.
3. You’re always hoping to run into them.
   • Even though you most likely won’t say anything, just the thought of seeing them excites you.
4. You constantly replay your favorite memory of them in your head.
   • Maybe it’s your first date or the first time you kissed, but you always seem to be thinking about it.
5. You reread old messages.
   • I finally deleted our text thread, but I’m always thinking about our old conversations.
6. You hope they still haven’t found someone else.
   • Getting back together isn’t an option, but you can’t fathom the thought of him moving on.
7. You’re too nervous to even talk to other guys.
   • I’ll admit it took me probably 8-9 months to even think about talking to another guy, let alone talking to him.
8. You want another relationship.
   • You’re not ready for a relationship, but you try to convince yourself that you’re ready. Please stop lying to yourself, you aren’t ready.
9. You can’t see the negative side of the relationship.
   • What is a fight?
10. He’s the first person you want to call when you’re upset.
    • Then to only realize he’s not there to comfort you anymore – usually just makes things worse.
11. When your friends bring him up it’s the worst.
    • You try to hide the instant pain of their name, while also trying to convince your friends that you hate him.
