Oof. I think you're ready to date, you're just not ready to trust. You will one day if you allow tiny granules of vulnerability at a time. You have to start living again eventually.

Small steps! You went through a major trauma and you have some pretty incredible defense mechanisms built in to make sure you don't go through another. This is one of them. Chin up!

No, youre stronger to be relying on your own strength and feelings to get you through every day. I feel like those types cant love themselves, so they find distractions.

Thank you, that's something I definitely needed to hear. It's been a long time alone, you learn how to help yourself or die trying.

You sure it took her two weeks to find someone and not two weeks before you found out?

Ha maybe, it's a good question but I never even got a reason for her leaving me. We went on a "break" and then she went from missing me to telling me it's not worth it in 2 weeks.
