Why do we miss someone that we messed things up with?

[Anonymous]

I went out with a guy earlier this year. He was everything i was looking for but we just went was too fast, i freaked out... I still think about him...

Is this normal?

[TheBootyChest]

Yeah, it's normal for things like that to happen.

I think it's because we don't realize at the moment what a huge mistake we could be making. If we stopped thinking about the moment, and instead at that moment, think about the bigger picture instead, we could see things more clearly and make better decisions.

I think its normal, i still think about people from the past. I saw a girl the other day who looked just like a girl who ghosted me a few years back

Dang, do you miss her?

[MrHopper]

I miss our conversations we had some nice chats and stuff, but i hadn't really thought much about her since after she vanished. It happens a lot though i get people chat to me then vanish, no idea why i just assume its how the world works!

becuase you haven't moved on and got things going with someone else
