Me [18 M/F] with my now ex-girlfriend [18 M/F] 3 months, Something really weird is happening post-breakup

I wouldn't have had to if you didn't post this.

And you know what I say to all of this? It's not that it is not going to work out when you're in a relationship. It's maybe that you're looking for something different and there is no harm in that. Do not EVER get into a relationship if you can't handle that it may not last, or it may not be forever. This is life, shit happens. Move on. But you don't have to eliminate people out of your life. Hell, life is too short to remove people from your life (and social media) and forget about them. They're always going to be something you remember. You spend time with them and I spent time with you, a long time. I will remember it, cherish it and accept that it's over. But us ending didn't mean that I didn't want you in my life. I just meant I wanted you as something different. And you seemed okay with that, then not okay with it and when I changed my mind also, you couldn't understand it. But you were doing the same thing. And to be fair, when we began our relationship, I said "I am not a good person" and that I have hurt people in the past. That wasn't me being dramatic, that was the truth. And I warned you but you still went with it.

Guys (the sensitive ones) have some misconception that girls don't hurt and automatically become bitches after they break up with you. I'll tell you something. After we broke up, I found it mind-crushingly difficult. I hurt for weeks and I know you did too. Time went past and so did people, and I found that I didn't need to keep looking back at my phone for you, spending nights awake thinking if I made the wrong decision. I am not one of those people to change my mind or jump back on decisions. So I went with my decision, we broke up, we moved on and here we are.
