short-term, i think you need to focus on getting through this “hang-out” (whether that be “pre-gaming” beforehand or simply distracting yourself) then evaluating what you even want with this guy (friendship or dating, etc.). next, stop yourself the next time you find yourself spontaneously making plans or joining in on them. if you have a habit of canceling/flaking on people, then it’s probably a good idea to stop going out with other people for a little while.

basically anything you've been thinking about trying out- DO IT NOW! breakups are always painful but from personal experience, the ones that hurt the least were the times where i had my focus set on what i really wanted to do but maybe didn't before because i was focused on the other person.

tbh making posts like these is just gonna make it worse! its indulging in your subconscious desire to somehow be in thought-contact with him, to still center him somehow, to still make him relevant, to still feel affected by him. cut it out completely! you've already gone through the journaling phase and the debrief phase with your friends (and the posting about it on forums phase :p!)  so then its time to do boy removal. stop talking about him, stop stalking his page, stop thinking about him and more importantly- you in relation to him. instead of 'what can i do with my time to get me to stop thinking about boy x', maybe switch it to i simply just: i need some fun little hobbies to make my time feel better. you were always real and complete...so continue always being real and complete... and maybe also pursue some new dick if that is your thing.

One trick that's helped me is to focus on what I'm gaining instead of what I'm missing. Like, maybe you're catching up on that show you've been meaning to watch, or finally getting some alone time to recharge. That stuff's important too! Another thing – try to limit your social media time when you know you're feeling vulnerable to fomo. It's way too easy to fall into the comparison trap. And remember, there'll always be other chances to hang out and have fun. This isn't your last shot at a good time, I promise. Sometimes the chillest nights at home end up being the most memorable. So take a deep breath, do something you enjoy, and cut yourself some slack. Fomo's just your brain playing tricks on you. You're not really missing out - you're just doing your own thing. And have a speedy recovery!
