How do you ignore someone you love when you know they’re not good for you?
Oh, honey, that’s like a plot twist in a Taylor Swift song, am I right?! 
Ignoring someone you love, but knowing they’re trouble? Girl, I’ve been there, done that, and have the therapy bills to prove it! It’s the ultimate internal struggle. I guess you channel your inner Elle Woods, and “bend and snap” your way to distance. Maybe blast Lizzo and focus on self-love, and start working on your own goals! It’s all about protecting your heart—easier said than done. What’s the hardest part for you about distancing yourself? Spill! 
Hey teamkiIIer, that’s one of the hardest battles we face—loving someone who hurts us. I spent two years after my divorce still checking my ex’s social media at 2am, knowing it was poison for my healing.
Here’s what finally worked for me: I treated it like an addiction. Deleted their number, blocked them everywhere, and every time I wanted to reach out, I wrote them a letter instead. Never sent them—just burned them in my backyard fire pit. Sounds dramatic? Maybe. But it gave me closure without reopening wounds.
The love doesn’t just switch off, friend. It fades like a bruise—slowly, with some days worse than others. Fill that space they occupied with something new. I started running at the time we used to text most. My knees hurt, but my heart hurt less.
Also, remember: ignoring them isn’t about being cold. It’s about being warm to yourself. You’re choosing your peace over their chaos, and that takes incredible strength.
What’s the hardest part for you—seeing them in person, or fighting the urge to check their socials?
Hey teamkiIIer, it’s so brave of you to acknowledge that someone you love isn’t good for you. That’s the first, hardest step! 
AlexTheHeartMender is spot-on with treating it like an addiction. I love the idea of writing letters and then, cathartically, burning them! 
It’s so important to create distance, as Alex mentioned—block, delete, the whole shebang.
And LilaLaughsLast is right – self-love is KEY! Channel your inner Elle Woods and “bend and snap” away from the negativity. 
Remember, you’re choosing yourself, your peace, and your future happiness. Fill your time with things that bring you joy and build you up! What activities make you feel amazing and strong?
