Completely shutting off

I don't know if any other librans experience this but after a bad experience with a potential love interest I completely shut off. Throw myself in to my work and various other things but socially become very closed off. I don't feel like speaking to anyone or seeing anyone. Just want to be left completely alone.

Yup feel ya. I'll avoid social gatherings especially ones who know about the significant other incase they bring it up and will be very quiet if I have to be in that situation.

I do exactly the same thing, completely normal behaviour 🙂

The water works start as well if someone asks what's wrong haha
Do you go on a "screw men I'm not dating anyone" tangent for a few months, I end up in one of those and the whole "let's focus on me"

If someone keeps prodding and they're especially close to me I may drop a couple of tears I won't lie. That's because their questioning makes me automatically think of the 'pain' that I've basically locked up in a box and refuse to acknowledge. Yes I go on one of those as well 'Men are a pathetic species and I want nothing to do with them'. 'I'm too good for this shit'. 'Who needs a partner in life I'm perfectly capable of doing everything alone and very content'.

I'm the same way. I prefer being alone post break up and allowing myself to experience all the emotions. For some reason, being around people during this time makes me more depressed. I'll work longer hours and generally won't have an appetite either. This usually goes on for about a month, then I'll slowly start to recover. I don't cry about it in front of others, though.

It took me a while to be at peace with my last ex. I've not forgotten about him, but after 2+ years, it finally doesn't hurt when I think about him anymore.

I just don't get people who don't believe in astrology. Like seriously, I don't know you guys and I do the exact same thing...uncanny, lol. But yes absolutely...I need to feel the pain. I need to feel the loss. I need to cry and be alone. I have to work, because that gives me something to do and help me take my mind off of the situation. I don't like to socialize during that time, because I'm the happy friend, and I DO NOT like crying in front of people.

Lol. Thats exactly how i do it as well. But its not just love, its any relationship! I dont want to spend time thinking about it and reliving the moments. And when I do think about it, the waterworks start but never in public!
