Checking your ex’s feed turns recovery into a daily referendum on their mood. Muting them is not punishment; it is emotional first aid. When after the breakup did you stop checking your ex’s socials?

I’ve embarrassed myself many times in my life, as we all have. How we react when it happens matters.

Wanting regret can look like indifference, but it still makes your self-worth depend on your ex. Freedom begins when their opinion becomes irrelevant.
