Well, that sucks. Me (M24) her (22F)

For context I (24M) was involved with this girl (22F) I used to work with (I know don’t shit where you eat etc etc). Ultimately in the end she decided we should just stay friends. We ended on good terms, so I thought at least.

She’s since left the company and I won’t lie at some point I had to mute her account on IG because I didn’t wanna keep getting reminders of her while trying to move on. I didn’t wanna fully unfollow her though because I didn’t have any real problem with her, just didn’t wanna see her constantly popping up every time I’d open the app. She was a frequent poster.

Fast forward to recently (like months later) I find out she unfollowed me completely. I’ll admit it hurt a little at first because, at least on my end, I didn’t think there was any bad blood between us. Either way I think this is ultimately the best outcome for me to fully move on now. It’s a conflicting feeling because part of me did wanna create some distance, and I did technically get what I wanted. I guess having the door fully closed does hit different when it finally happens. I guess I foolishly thought we’d still be somewhat on friendly terms after this? Idk, I have no one to blame but myself here.
