Why do I feel more like myself after divorce… but also more alone?

I’m trying to understand this feeling. During my marriage, I constantly felt like I was managing situations or worse. Now that it’s over, I feel more… like me. I dont cry randomly, I dont shiver on some morning suddenly and I don’t overthink every word.But at the same time, there’s this loneliness that hits. Ofc not missing my ex but somewhere deep down missing having someone there.

It’s confusing because I don’t want to go back but I also don’t know how to build what I want next. I’ve seen people say there are more specific ways to meet someone now that even platforms for divorcee matrimony and all exists.. but I don’t know if I’m emotionally ready or just filling a void.

Has anyone else felt this dilemma?
