Defining love is extremely difficult because every person is different and also every couple is different. It can sometimes be very simple but also very complicated too. Some people believe in love at first signs, and others are so bitter that they even give up on love. To put it in simple words, love is always complicated. Sometimes we make the right choices and sometimes we don’t. But, trying and failing is better than not doing anything about finding your soulmate. We have made a list of several signs that indicate you still love your ex. Breaking up with someone does not mean you stop loving them immediately.
1. You are still hopeful
This is normal, especially soon after the breakup. If we still have deep feelings for our ex it is normal to hope for getting back with them. But if this feeling keeps going on for weeks or months, you definitely love your ex.
2. You check their social media
Usually, after breaking up, we want to end every contact with this person, including social media. But if you are still not brave enough to delete them from your social media accounts, you might be afraid of not knowing anything about them all because you still love them.
3. You still need your friends support
Our friends are there for us through good and bad times. They are the people we turn to after a breakup and who will always try to cheer us up. But, if you still need your friend’s support after a long time, it is probably because you are not able to let go of the past.
4. You question your worth
One day you are perfectly happy, and the other day you are no longer with the person you love. This may cause you to doubt yourself a lot and you might wonder whether it was your fault. This might happen if you don’t love yourself in the first place.
5. You deny and feel ashamed about keeping tabs on them
Letting go and moving on is one of the most painful things we need to do. But, if you don’t want to admit that you are unable to let go, just because you don’t want to avoid being judged by your friends, it is probably because you still love your ex.
6. You keep thinking about the good times
Remembering good times is what life is all about. But, constantly rethinking about the good times will not be helpful if you want to move on with your life.
7. You look for people with similar traits
If you want to repeat the same mistake, you might want to try to find a person who resembles your ex a lot. However, this is not a healthy way of healing from a breakup. Instead, give someone else a chance, who might be the right person for you.
8. You can’t picture a clear future
Moving on after a breakup is always difficult and it might interfere with our vision of the future. However, this should clear up after some time and once we get back on track. But, if you still can clearly see your future, it is a clear sign that you miss your ex and you probably still have feelings for them.
9. You feel like you lost the love of your life
This feeling is very strong. It is actually very toxic because you will just torture yourself by thinking you have lost your soulmate and that you will never find love again. This person was not the right for you, and your soulmate is still out there waiting to meet you.
10. You are not sure who you are
If you actually felt true love with your partner, after breaking up with them you might doubt or even question your identity. You were able to identify as one person with the, and all of a sudden you are alone. This is actually not the end of the world as long as you remind yourself that you will always have another chance for love.
11. Seeking attention
This is probably the worst way of dealing with a breakup because it will reveal your extreme vulnerability and make you look desperate.
12. You over analyze the end
Relationships end for a reason and instead of thinking about it, try not to make the same mistakes and move on.
13. You can help but reach out
Reaching out is only acceptable if you still have your personal items at their place and you want them back. Any other situation is a sign of unresolved feelings.
14. You are sensitive to any kind of rejection
Rejections always hurt but we are particularly sensitive about them after a breakup. It is difficult to deal with any type of criticism during this time, but always remember that you will not feel this pain your entire life. It will get better after a while.
15. You mold others into your ex
This is just as bad for others as it is for you. If you start a new relationship make sure you do it because you want a fresh start, not just to find someone who you can turn into your ex.
