This hits home with me. I have been much happier since I removed and reduced the time I spend with assholes. Better to be alone than shit on nonstop.
The worst part is the way it shapes you. Abuse wheedles its way into your soul as you learn to deal with it. It’s parasitic. Hurt people hurt people.
Relevant:
One time I saw my ex was walking down the street I was walking up, so I crossed the street to avoid them. Then they crossed the street, so I just walked back across
you can put a gif in your comment like this:

one time me and my gf walked right past my ex in a restaurant and didnt even notice because we were so hungry. only knew because my friend said “oh its that bitch” in my ear

I was that ex before I broke that cycle for myself. This anon is right. Contacting your exes who are probably not in the best place is only enabling them not to heal.
Even stronger would be not to respond at all.
Thanks for the confidence boost! I was coming to reply that I “was weak” for not replying like how greentext did, but your comment was at the top and revitalized me!
Practically the same situation except I was busy/moved on so I looked at the text and just put my phone back in my pocket.
Fuck that bitch. 👍
