A few observations. Ending a relationship is not always the answer to happiness and rarely resolves all your problems – unless it was abusive1. Did you try to address the issues with counseling before it ended? Are you feeling regrets perhaps?

Also, it seems like you are seeking validation through social media. Social media is not a place to find truth or reality.

Regarding your ex and your friends – was the way in which the relationship ended done in a way that offended others? Although you may be a deeply caring person, actions show more than anything and your friends may perceive things differently. People don’t typically display negative thoughts with friends as it’s not good to spread the negativity. Or, perhaps you weren’t as good of friends than you thought.

You mentioned living your 20s. Are you in fact in your 20s? Or are you trying to reach back to do something you feel you missed out on. If so, it’s nof possible. Focus on where you are today.
