why do I always feel like this after a break up 🥺

a • 20

hey girls. I made a post before asking how many girls cry after they stop talking to a boy and most girls said they didn't, which was a surprise to me because I always cry. maybe I am just an emotional person, but here's what happened recently.

I was dating this guy from high school (were 20 btw) and it's only been a month and I just felt something off. I thought our differences would start to be an issue further down the road so I decided to break it off now before we got deeper feelings because it made sense to me. in this short time I really was falling for him, and I knew he liked me a lot.

I told him last night and I just was crying into my pillow and felt so sad, I felt relief because I knew it was right but I knew he was sad and he handled it so well I was just upset with myself that I rushed into it and maybe led him on. I didn't do it on purpose though, I literally woke up one day and felt like I needed to end it.

does what I did make sense to you guys? do y'all cry even if it didn't necessarily hurt you but because you feel empathetic?
