How do you get rid of that hollow feeling that you have after a breakup?
Almost a year ago, my boyfriend and I split. No matter what I do, I can’t let it go. I have spent countless hours crying myself to sleep every night. I always could see me and him being together for a long time. I’m not quite sure why we got along so well. He was outgoing, funny, and always very upbeat, while I’m very quiet/shy, serious, and not very social. I loved it because I could always trust that he was giving his honest opinion to me whenever I asked him something. He always told me the truth even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear. Most of all what I loved about him was that he always respected me and acted like a gentleman. Never once did he do anything (if you know what i mean) that I didn’t want to do. He always supported me and my interests (going to my volleyball and basketball games, track meets, band concerts) I loved how he always found a way to make me laugh no matter what we were doing. Being shy, I don’t generally have boys flocking around my house or fighting to date me( like that’ll ever happen) but he always told me how beautiful he thought I was. I felt like with him I could talk to him about anything and not have to be embarrassed. I need advice on what to do. We both have said that we still have strong feelings for each other, but I’m not sure what to do. I always feel depressed and I’m always sad. It was truly like loosing my best friend.
