Learning to love myself

Why am I afraid to approach people after a heartbreaking divorce

[SteadyOne]

I generally think you are afraid of rejection since you had a heart breaking divorce. It's a natural reaction to the end of a relationship. Be compassionate to yourself, become your own best friend if that makes sense. Do something nice for yourself every day. Keep it simple, go slowly and take time to heal. Remind yourself that you are a worthy person. You can also do something for others like volunteering or charity work.

I'm in a situation where my long time boyfriend and I are still friends, but it's complicated and we are growing apart. We don't live together anymore, but he was always my best friend. Breaking up is hard to do!!! I think when you're ready, you will eventually date again. And if you're not ready, don't try to force it. Appreciate that there are some good things about being single. You don't have to answer to anyone!!!

I’m currently going through a separation- my husband wants to divorce because I left - not because I was a bad wife because I rejected him - let

Me tell you - I can relate to U 100% ! I quit the gym we both went to - I can’t even drive past our residence with out getting sick - and approaching any one is so hard!!! Divorce is a lost life - and grieving takes time! Give your self some grace and surround your self with support as much as you can !
