Comment on How do you get over a breakup with someone who was (and is) also a very close friend?

- Being vulnerable, but not oversharing / overbearing, will actually provide an opportunity to deepen your friendships. They will appreciate knowing what you’re feeling and folks respond better to vulnerability than you expect.
- The right time to reconnect with an ex is when you are better and over them. If you still feel incomplete without her, then it’s the wrong time. Cliché but true: you must love yourself before you can be loved.
- Therapy could really help you work through these feelings. If you cannot afford therapy, look for support groups in your area. Just hearing other people going through similar situations can help.
- Build up non-romantic relationships while you are still so raw. A.k.a. hang out with your friends, open up and ask for their support, and be there for them. If you try to find romance while you’re not over your ex, you’ll make mistakes and maybe open old wounds, compare your new partners in unfair ways to your old ones, and just generally have a bad time.
I wish you luck. A breakup is never easy and it sounds like she means the world to you. It’ll never be right, but it will be okay.

Thank you, i hope i will eventually get to a point were i can reconnect with her, but now it’s not time yet, as you said. She would be happy to listen to me and very sympathetic. Really wish i could afford therapy rn haha. I’m lucky to have friends who are happy to listen to me and try to help each in their own way. And as for romance ill make sure to stay away from it for a good bit lol. Thank you very much again fir your support and kind words, wish you a good day :)
