And I don't know if this happens to everyone else, but as soon as the conversation is over and then it's quiet around me again, I just fall apart. It's like going through the whole divorce all over again, and I just want to pull up the covers and hide in my bed and wait for these feelings to go away. So I guess I'm kind of reaching out to ask a question, and I hope someone responds
I think it's about what matters to you most. If relating with this person matters most, then the cost is worth it, right? But if your mental and emotional well being is what matters most, then the cost isn't worth it. And sometimes that helps me to make a decision of how to move forward. But not always. Because sometimes I want one thing that may not be the best for me. And so then I ask myself, how can I love myself best?

I think it's super important to cry. I think it's super important to allow yourself that space to cry. But not if at the end you're not feeling good about it. If you feel sadder because you broke down that way or you feel sad when you leave these events because you feel lonely again or you feel isolated or alone again, then that actually can be worse than just maybe not participating as much
