After the breakup my self esteem has plummeted. I am ashames to admit this but I started obsessively comparing my life to others and began feeling so worthless and alone. It just seems like every one else has it all together, a good relationship, and I am stuck still picking up the pieces. I am happy for these people but clearly also very jealous. I deactivated facebook with the hopes that will help the obsessing some. I just am tired of feeling this way

Stop picking up the pieces.

 

“You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened... or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the **** on.”

Man, I sorta have felt the same way. But I try to think that everyone goes through life and situations differently and at different times. When you were happy in your relationship, someone was feeling the same way you and me do now where nothing is right and everyone has it together. And maybe those are some of the people who are feeling good now at this moment while we are down in the dumps.

 

Also those people right now who have it all together, maybe some of them in future have things not go their way. I think it is just the way life goes. I feel the same way I am getting over a breakup after 4.5 years in my mid-late 20's and I feel like everyone at work is either married or partnered up. Well who knows 10 years down the road I could be happily married while those people are getting divorces. I'm not saying it always works like that or I want people to feel down but I just feel like it happens at different times for different people. Just focus on your circumstance and getting better and not comparing to other people. Plus, if you were going based of facebook, well everyone looks happy and perfect on facebook. You never know truly what people are going through. Don't worry about other people they are not you.

 

I am trying to learn this mindset as well.
