BLS Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I am extremely tempted to internet-stalk my ex. I had a dream about her last night, it's been a month since we said anything more than "hi" or "good morning" to each other. I have not seen any of her internet profiles since. I am extremely tempted. I doubt I'll see anything I like and I think I'll have lost at least 50% of the progress I've made if I do it. Tell me to stop, give me reasons. Fast please :/
SimonSerenade Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Don't do it man, don't torture yourself like this, it isn't worth it, even if you don't see something you won't like, you'll still think about it, I don't have Facebook or anything like that so I won't have to see her or get tempted to look her up, social networking really is evil, just that glimpse of her moving on with her life without you, seeing the word "single" on her profile, it will break you in half, you dont need to know what she's up to, you never need to know, I know it's tempting but don't do this to yourself, look at something else and keep your mind of her, a good strategy would be a diversion technique, tap your hands with 2 fingers and repeat "I don't need to know" and move up to your cheeks and forehead and keep repeating until that urge has disappeared, cognitive behaviour therapy man, it might be worth looking in to. 1
swiftly333 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Trust me. You don't wan to do it. I did it about a month ago an it messed me up for days when I didn't like what I saw. Do. Not.do. it. DON'T DO IT!!!
CorridorE Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I didn't do it. Thanks guys Good for you! And here are some more reasons why, in my opinion, it is NEVER a good idea to look up an ex. If you ever get that temptation again, remember that no good can come from it because If... You see that she is happy and living her life to the fullest - it will only bring you down and make you feel forgotten You see that see is having a rough time and her life isn't what she wants it to be - it will give you false hope that she's having regrets or could be missing you Her relationship status is single - you'll wonder what she's doing and think about how happy she could be with you, but somehow she would rather choose to be alone Her relationship status is in a relationship - no need to say why that would be a major set-back And seeing pictures of any kind are never good for healing either. SimonSerenade is right; if you ever have the urge again, just tell yourself you don't need to know and really believe it because it's true!
