Thanks to both of you for the helpful advice. Stephen, you’re so right about the longer you wait, the harder it becomes. Maybe I will text this guy not necessarily because it could lead to romance, but to do it to show myself that I can, and that whatever happens, rejected or not, it’s not the end of the world.
Paula, I do journal which is good because it gives me a chance to self reflect and I have tried to do affirmations, but on my low, sad days, I completely find it hard to be positive. I have never heard of EFT but will look into it.
Thanks again!
