We (25M and 26F) broke up over 2 years ago. She has moved on and has been with her new boyfriend for about a year now. She’s likely fully settled into her new life whilst I remain trapped in the wreckage of the memory of us. I’ve tried putting myself out there but have realized that I’m not a very desirable person to be with (short and Asian mixed race). Dating apps don’t work for me and I don’t want to be creepy by approaching people (I’ve made friends this way but never more). Since the breakup I’ve moved countries twice in an effort to get over it but I’m still here, stuck in the same mental space. I’ve been hitting the gym, reflecting and just trying to live my life without any intimacy or connection from others but I don’t know if I can do it forever. When we broke up I thought I would be okay at some point and be able to experience new things as well. I was wrong. Any advice on how to cope? I’m trying to not need someone else but when the world echoes back silence to you like this then liking yourself becomes kinda hard.
