I recently got out of a long term relationship where the last year and a half of it was so emotionally numbing I had already come to terms with the breakup well before it happened. I felt like I had closure and I was ready to take on the world and battle all the battles life could throw at me. Now all of a sudden after feeling nothing from a 6 year relationship breakup I am floored with emotions over someone I havent even talked to properly. Its so many levels of wrong. First of all what the hell is wrong with me, secondly I know its infatuation and limerance and whatever you want to say but I also genuinely like a lot of this persons characteristics. They showed interest back as well but have been holding back which is kind of fucking me up because I am certain something was there but for whatever reason its clearly not going to work and I need to be okay with that. They were flirting just to flirt nothing more. Put simply how do I genuinely learn how to stop wanting to burst with love at people? I know Im a damn good partner/boyfriend but I also know its not my right to just make other people uncomfortable or upset just because I feel something more then they do. I need to be moving on in a much more healthy way and Im sick of stuff like this fucking up my mentals.
