You don’t actually want to check his socials — you want relief from anxiety.
Checking won’t calm you down; it will make your thoughts louder.
You’ll tell yourself it’s just one quick look. It never is.
One look turns into checking his following, his likes, and reading into everything.
You’ll start creating stories in your head with zero context.
Social media is not the truth — it’s a highlight reel.
You’ll compare yourself to people you don’t even know.
You’ll spiral over things that have nothing to do with you.
Checking his socials will not make you feel better — it will make you feel worse.
This urge is about control, not information.
Looking will reopen a wound that was starting to close.
Every time you look, you reset your healing.
Checking keeps you emotionally attached.
You’re giving him access to you without him earning it.
It keeps him present in your mind when he doesn’t deserve that space.
You already know how this goes.
You’ll feel sick when you see he followed a girl or liked her picture and start wondering what it means — even though it means nothing.
Nothing good comes from this — you already know that.
Not knowing is part of moving on.
Close the app instead of reopening the wound.
