How can I get over being heartbroken?
I knew this person for about 5 months. Noticed he was active on apps, asked for exclusivity, he said yes. Exclusive for less than a month because he decided he wanted out. I’m still so attached to the idea of if things had just worked out, if I could go back in time to the beginning to when he still liked me back properly, if I could have just known xyz or done xyz, and if I’ll ever have those feelings again for someone else again. I know he left for someone else. But I can’t quite get over it. I know I’m decent looking, but I can’t bring myself to ever feel like I’ll be enough. I feel the need to fix more things about my appearance in the hopes that I won’t be rejected like this again, but I know it had nothing to do with my looks. I just want that love and connection and the feeling of being special again. I want to forget this past and move forward with what I’ve learned but I’m struggling with wishing I could just have him back. I feel so pathetic. I don’t want to keep crying over someone and thinking of someone that could not care less and stopped wanting me a long time ago. I have such a hard time letting go though.
