How do you move on/distract yourself/be happy after ending something you thought was it?
Problem/Goal: I [M] ended courting someone due her maybe being an avoidant. How do you move on from this pain again?
Context: This is only my side of the story as she did not explain what is happening to her and just stop communicating with me. We were good to the point na label nalang ang kulang. But one day hindi nalang sya nagreply so baka may problema lang kako at pinalipas ko muna. Next day ay tuloy parin so kinamusta ko na sya at tinanong ano ang nangyayari, sinabi na kung kailangan nya ng kausap ay nandito lang ako. From there eh parang nag crashout nalang sya, she told me na I don't deserve her and she suddenly can't reciprocate what I feel for her. I gave her weeks to think about it baka kako she just needs to clear her mind pero wala she did not talk to me anymore. I decided to choose my peace and told her I will be ending what we are doing and move on. From what I saw/experienced I think I was correct in choosing my peace pero bakit ganon ang sakit parin.
Previous Attempts: How do you do this. I tried distracting myself by working, running and just plain playing dota pero pag wala na akong ginagawa bumabalik ang lungkot. I stand firm with what I decided to do but why does it hurt this much.
More context: This is my first time in a long time to open my heart and try dating again. Lagi ko sinasabi sa sarili ko na being ready is a choice and not a feeling so ayun I was ready. Then I've met her and sobrang dali ng conversation, same humor, likes and more. Akala ko sya na talaga.
Sa pakiramdam ko kasi if gusto mo din talaga ako, you should be able to tell me if may problema or mali akong nagawa. I am ready to face what I did and change it pero walang siyang sinabi. The old me would have beg for us to talk about it kahit na di na sya nagpaparamdam and adjust so that I would not lose her. Pero siguro di ko na deserve ulit mag mahal ng ganon? SIguro naman I deserve better din? Hindi ko na din alam.
As for the avoidant part, I told my friends what happened and they told me na parang nasa side sya na being an avoidant person. This is my first time encountering a person like that.
Why do I feel this way? Bakit ang sakit? I am now doubting myself na hindi parin ba ako natututo sa past mistakes ko at mali parin ba nagawa ko? Ang hirap lang kahit anong oras bigla nalang ako tinatamaan ng lungkot.
Pasensya na din if may mga maling grammar and spellings. Typing this while crying.
