Q&A: Two years after a breakup I still check their socials

You are not only looking at their life. You are checking, again, whether they are doing better without you. The habit is a cheap form of emotional self-punishment: self-worth tied to their sense of loss, compensation hunted in their regret.

Admit that the relationship can no longer feed you. Bring the attention back to the ruin you actually live in, and to the rebuilding that belongs to you.
