Does anyone else take a really long time to get over people? Platonically or romantically. I'm talking years, not months.
I really want to hear from others who struggle with this. Every time I read posts about friendship breakups or romantic breakups, the consensus is that it can take a bit of time to get over them...but when people say "a bit of time," they really mean "a few months to a year."
I'm still thinking about a friendship breakup from 3 years ago. And a relationship that ended 5 years ago. I have been in therapy for over a decade, I am living my life and am successful in several areas, but I would hate to see either of these people on the street and when I think about them, I definitely don't feel total indifference like I wish I did. It's horrible because I don't want to think about them at all. Can anyone relate?
*It would be really nice if people who this doesn't apply to didn't comment on this with "it took me 3 months to get over a 20 year friendship"
