I REMEMBER THAT!
Yeah, been almost a year for me now. I recently had a bunch of the same awkwardness but I think that it's back to the "par for the course" level, and I'm comfortable enough with myself now that I don't sit and feel like nobody wants to talk to me anymore.
Hooking up with a fuckbuddy helped, I guess.
Eventually I managed to get settled though, and I'm quite happy being single now, have been I suppose since the relationship ended. It's weird, being socially dedicated to someone for so long and then suddenly having to interact with everybody else without that piece of you. It feels like you're missing a key part of your character. And it's true, a large chunk of your life is now missing.
The way you fix it is you fill up those holes with new definitions of who is you..... did that make sense at all? Here's a better way of putting it:
Never be afraid to sacrifice who you are for who you can become.
I think I got that off of one of those bathroom stones (Y'know, the ones that say "We aim to please, you aim too, please").
Give it a month, you'll be sociable again. Or at least, you'll feel like you're sociable again.
Go watch Swingers. Excellent movie about that situation.
