So my ex and I dated for over a year and broke up due to difference in religion. We stayed friends for five months after then I decided that I needed space because he started being really friendly with another girl of the same religion. I went NC starting the summer. I broke it a couple times, but I'm just trying to keep it more and more.

 

However, I just don't seem to feel any better. I still obsess over him and I really fear going back to school. We are in the same friend group too. He's really popular because he's very extroverted and just a really nice guy to everyone. I'm the opposite...i'm really shy and i prefer to keep to myself. I keep comparing myself to him, and I feel like a complete loser because everyone just LOVES him. I feel like everyone will make a big deal if he starts to pursue a relationship with the other girl, and they will compare her to me. I also feel like people will think I'm a bad person or something just because he is really nice...I don't want to be overshadowed and I want to shine too, but I feel like he's just going to become more popular and well liked while I'll just be "the girl that he dated." Is it normal to feel this way? How do I feel better about myself in regards to this BU?
