100% Real Talk

It pains me to see someone I’ve once had genuine action for be mistreated by someone else. It’s not just the fact that it’s my friend that is getting hurt that irritates me. But I have the tendency to imagine scenarios about how me and the person I had strong feelings for would have turned out as opposed to being with the one who is causing them pain. I also get some random thoughts like, “I would have never treated you like that.” or “I honestly believe that you would have been happier with me.” which results in me unconsciously reigniting those dead feelings. Then I’d have to spend the next couple of days playing the role of the jealous friend and have to suffer through the emotion pain of having to get over that person once again. But it only happens when it comes to someone I’ve really liked and that hasn’t happened more than one or two times so it really isn’t as bad as it seems.
