Missing someone who is still out there?

A broken heart is easier to carry when you see others carrying one too.

Heartbreak is strange. The person is still in the world, maybe living a normal day, and you are here replaying every message. It does not matter if it was a long love or something that never had a name.

These are thoughts from people who know that feeling. Read a few, tap Me too if one sounds like you, and write your own when you are ready. You do not have to explain it perfectly.

What people shared about heartbreak

I wish after years of pretending to be fine, someone could shout at the sky "How the fuck did nobody seen this?"

I'm done with life

I hope he accepts me back in his life despite how much of a mess I was around him. This stupid man legit altered my brain chemistry, and I just want him back in my life as a legit friend. Never would have expected I'd be in one of those situations I've always made fun of growing up tho lol.

I’m heartbroken. I lost the love of my life. I’m never going to love again.

How am I supposed to pretend everything is okay when you put a time stamp on our relationship?

I really did care for my ex. I felt great love for him but the color of my skin and what others would think seems to be his main concern. Public appearance wasn't enough. I'm not sure what went wrong. Oh well.

I realised that he will never love me the save way i love him.

fear of relationship

My last relationship left me with PTSD.

I love my co-worker. The problem? She's married. I'm married. She's incredible. I can't do anything about it.

I feel like I'm in love with my friend but know that they only see me as a sibling. I feel like if I ever vocalize how I felt it'd do irreparable damage to our relationship. But would also feel like I'm harming them considering their past and how much it hurt them to break up with their ex because they realized they were developing feelings for someone else. If I were to vocalize anything I feel like I would be forcing them to relive that moment in their life which I know was one of the most heart wrenching span of time for them. It just feels weird tho, being so close to them, and then just..

You were never meant for me, I'm sorry for holding on so long
