Or you feel like you don't matter to them?
Probably this.

I've always saw it as caring deeply but I'm starting to think it's just abandonment issues. I really hate it about myself. I'm still lingering over an ex who I haven't seen in god knows how long and he has clearly moved on. I haven't really vented about it to anyone because it's just that ridiculous of me and I'm ashamed. I've been bottling it up and it's starting to make me feel down when I shouldn't be. I'm constantly trying to force myself to understand that it shouldn't matter to me anymore.

Why do you think some people have a harder time letting go of people or past relationships than others?

I realized that it's nearly impossible for me to move on from people no matter how insignificant they were.

Do you think it's a personal thing? Self-esteem issues?
Do you have a lot of cancer placements?

Actually, no. I don't have any water placements. My sun, moon, and mercury are in the 8th house, though. I've also started to read into progressed charts which is interesting to me. My progressed sun and mercury are in Scorpio and my moon is in cancer. Do you pay attention to those? I went back and looked at photos of myself as my moon progressed and it's crazy how aligned they are. When my moon was in Aries I was always in fights at school. In taurus, I was in my first stable relationship, and when it was in Gemini I actually broke up with that guy and basically lived at the bars. Now, I'm just super introverted and the thought of going out with friends hardly intrigues me.

I have too. You aren't alone. I am not sure why. I don't think you should be ashamed?

My ex was really abusive physically emotionally sexually etc . I was ashamed because i felt not moving on meant i had asked for it in some way. I was really angry and felt I had betrayed myself.

I decided not to question it. That' helped me move on.

I know. I get mad at myself for not getting over it, too. I'm ashamed because its like O-M-G MOVE ON ALREADY! The few friends I have are probably done hearing it so I just don't talk about it. I guess questioning complicates things and I should just accept it for what it is.

This is very good information! I need to learn to read progress charts. How did you learn to read progress charts?

I'm not sure if I fully understand so I'm sorry if I'm not much help.. Anyways!! I clicked on my progressed chart and I was like ummmmmmm... I'm not a scorpio so I was trying to figure out what it meant. Natal placements are engraved into you and your progressed placements kind of compliment it.

Read into it!

I have a Tau. Sun and Aries moon. Tau sun likes to own and sees people as extensions of oneself. Aries moon feels everything so intensely and hates to lose. Life is a winner take all situation. A relationship ending means a notch in the loss column. This is just me though.
I feel like Taurus can cope with it, though. Ye know?

That Aries moon is a killer though. You give you heart and soul to another so letting go when it doesn't work is really hard. I understand the OP's issues.
