Do you only appreciate things after you lose them?

[Anonymous]

Recently broke up with a guy and still can't shake it off. it was soooo cozy with him

[D_Bone_Steak]

No.

Fuck no.

I'm usually pissed off when I lose things.

I'd value it if it was around when I need it, but now I can't find it.

[SuchSightsToShowYou]

You're just feeling remorse right now.

You broke up with him for a reason.

If you got back together with him, after a few days or a few weeks you'd probably be back to feeling as bad as you did before, and break up with him all over again.

No... i have the habit of caring n loving what i have... after loosing them i miss them except ex boyfriends

[Radiate143]

No because I'm not a dummy and I know a good thing when I see it.

[Radiate143]

And because you are having second thoughts about a break up it doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't for the best.

Breakup wise I appreciated her more after she was gone, but I already appreciated her immensely and would never have left myself. So I did have a similar effect but relatively mild due to how highly I appreciated her.

[BCRanger10]

No "only". You might appreciate some things more after they're gone, but that doesn't mean you didn't before.

[Nikki1989]

Yes, it is what is called "loss aversion."

[jshm2]

No. That's a sign you've not matured much, and are still a kid at heart.

Try not to sweat on past they might have acted like an ass cuz something fell off or got stuck, it was never theirs anyways they all came from my vessal and I told them I will suck a girl's dick

[Juxtapose]

That comes from a lack of introspection. You should look within more and realize how good you have it when you do.

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, I'm not blind enough to ignore the value of anything I care about.

[Intheclouds00]

Most people do because we tend to forget the bad stuff first and romanticize the past

[robocop666]

I did not realise how good my martial arts teachers were till they retired and I went elsewhere.

[Sunlight4]

Many people don’t know or understand the value of things they have until they loose them.

[justabuddy]

It will get better. You will realize why things didn't work and move on.

[ProbablyClueless]

No, thankfully I do not suffer from that.

[MemeSupreme]

kinda

best to have reminders before you do

[Wise4myage]

Yeah that’s very common.

[Emmytexrex]

It's when you don't have value for what you got

[Crazzyyworld]
