Do you guys ever do this? If you find that a certain place reminds you of things that you'd rather forget and people you'd prefer not to remember, don't you always want to get away and never look back?
I've had this issue for a while now, and it's part of the reason I kind of stopped keeping in touch with certain people because they will serve as a constant reminder of everything I've been through. But of course, the only thing that other people will ever remember is the fact that I stopped talking to them and I didn't keep in touch. The same people never ask if I'm ok or what is going on. The only thing they do is assume that I must not like them.
Sometimes I wish I could explain this to the same people so that they would understand, but I'm always worried that they will never look at me the same way and they won't talk to me like we used to. I just feel like they'll constantly ask if I'm feeling ok or if I'm doing better, and that's not what I want to hear from them whenever we talk.
So what can I do in these cases?
