Relationship
So I met my old/ex best friend after 2 years at a school reunion (friendship of around 10 years). We were really close once, but things ended when I confessed my feelings. She didn’t feel the same, and we stopped talking after that.
There were around 40–50 people there, including a few others I had issues with. I didn’t talk to her or them, just kept my distance. One mutual friend teased me for not talking, which made things a bit awkward.
Since then, I’ve been feeling kind of empty. I even caught myself rewatching a video of her singing from that night. It’s not that I want to get back together or anything — I just can’t figure out why it still hurts after so long.
I’ve been hitting the gym, running, playing badminton, going to the temple, taking care of my family — I’ve been keeping myself busy and trying to move on. I’ve even written her a long email saying everything I wanted to, but never sent it.
Still, something doesn’t feel right. I feel numb inside, like I haven’t fully processed it.
Has anyone else gone through something like this? How did you finally let go of someone who used to mean that much?
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities

i dont know how i am goona accept it
For some sorrow gives the profoundness and depth to life. So they feed it. You need some other thing that is profound and deep. Just getting busy with routine things will not help.
have you even through the same it just i think there is still hope to get back together
Went through some thing like that.. actually a worse... but I don't think I ever let go... I just continued to live my life... his thoughts come and go... I don't fight it anymore
Moved on? You want to share the story?
