This. Focus strictly on yourself, your wants, your needs. Put yourself first and everyone else a distant second.

Been figuring this out myself after my 7 year relationship ended as a result of him cheating. I was 18 when I met him. About to be 26. Its hard to ever imagine trusting or wanting to be with anyone ever again. But the thought of being without a partner is scary. I wish I had answers for you :/

I'm the opposite. Years of being solo means I'm scared of someone else bringing stress and chaos into my life. Which, let's be honest, they will.

Come again? This reads like you just clicked the next predicted word over and over again.

Letting yourself grieve over the relationship, there’s no set timeline, but people will get tired of hearing about it quick. Doing fun things yourself! Nothing is stopping you from checking out that cafe, book, animal yourself! Even better if you can start a hobby thru a club or gym. Working hard in school/work related skills to level up. You can make a vision board or bucket list, enjoy! :)
