Was I in love with him if I still think about what happened 6 months later?

We texted only, I stalked his posts on a political forum and found him to be very intelligent, and snarky/witty.

I messaged him and we got along well at first, but then it became slightly abusive (he negged me, we were passive aggressive at some point). Then he ended it.

I’m usually a very private, introverted person, but it was the first time id opened up to someone and been vulnerable with them and my emotions, thoughts and insecurities.

I was slightly traumatized and depressed after he ended it, though I’m better now.

I still think over what happened from time to time. Is it possible I’m just being hard on myself for having been too open/vulnerable and ashamed by the rejection, or did I genuinely have feelings for him?

It's normal to feel confused, and that's what you are right now confused, because everything you have talked with him rushes through your mind and all, and you ask yourself why this why that and you also give yourselfs a thousands WHAT IF's but trust me, it's not worth it. If you really had feelings for him you would fight and solve it, but since this ended and it's remaining like this then it was meant to end... don't ruin your head because of this, move on, learn from it, put your priorities high you're better than this.

You 'texted only' and you fell in love? Dear god. You're good at making up bullshit in your own mind. Which is common, but still... REALLY?
