social media + overthinking

idk if this an appropriate subreddit to talk about this lol. lately i've realised that the lesser i'm on social media (especially tiktok), the less i'm prone to overthinking about my life. i'm currently in a horrible situationship where i like the guy and he's just keeping me around for the fun of it all. i'm completely aware of my circumstances and where i stand in his life. every time i scroll tiktok, posts about "why doesn't he want me, why can't he commit to me, i'm not the one he wants" keep appearing on my fyp. and honestly, it makes me feel like shit thinking about it deeper. i've been trying to detach myself from him but it's definitely been tough. i've started playing roblox/journaling/watching shows to help me fall asleep instead of scrolling on ig/tiktok. i feel like it has helped? it's given me a distraction from my situation. i've been getting into manifestation as well and just reconnecting with myself. i really hope i can leave him soon lol... anyway this is ur sign to put that phone down and do something else

TLDR: How do i get rid of the other girl??

my SP is my friend (?) of sorts, our relationship is complicated. we kiss, we hug, but don't really have a title. initially before all the physical affection i'd been manifesting for him to see me as more than just a friend. it definitely came true since it went from just being online friends > hanging out > cuddling and stuff, and sex is definitely in the talks. we do talk daily romantically and call at least once a day. the other day he also told me "i'm deciding on whether i want to commit to you", which is big because he once told me he'd never date me.

what i'm having trouble with, is that there's this girl he used to be interested in that he still plays games with for hours on end, and he posts them playing together but keeps me known to only his close friends. i can sort of feel there's still some romantic tension between them idk if that's how i should be saying it. it makes my stomach drop. i have awful anxiety which leads to doubting myself and then i spiral. i've been working on that, affirming that i'm the prize and there isn't anyone better for him than me.

so i want to know your best methods to achieving commitment and loyalty please!!! i've been listening to subliminals, robotic affirmations, scripting and letters to the universe. lmk, and thank you!!
