Why do I feel the need to check her FB page ?

[bananatree99]

Back story - fell out with good friend around 6 years ago. We still live in the same town but the town is big enough to never bump into each other.

But why do I feel the need to snoop on her FB page and her IG ? I'm curious of what she looks like now and what she is doing. We were very good mates for 25 years. She instigated the initial fall out, she was nasty to me beyond belief. I wouldn't be friends with her again after what she did to me/said to me.

I wish I could forget about her completely. It's her birthday this month, I wish I could forget the date of that too. There was a lot of things unsaid by me at the time to her over her behaviours towards me. I regret that. I don't feel I had closure of what happened and I maybe never will.

I just wish I never felt the need to snoop/pry/care about what she looks like or is doing.

Natural curiosity but don't be obsessive.

Just because she was nasty to you it doesn’t mean to say that you don’t have a sense of mourning for the good relationship that you did have for many years.

perhaps perversely you might want to see that life isn’t going very well for her and that if you saw a post where she expressed some happiness it would give you a good feeling.

Or perhaps you’re just curious to see the things she’s up to the haps compare it with your own life as to how things have turned out.

maybe you even hoped that she might mention you.
