No this isn’t about a oneitis or an LTR, i recently lost my closest friend to a long battle with cancer. I’ve tried to keep it as closed up but I don’t know where or who to go with this. I’ve tried to keep myself busy with the gym and my studies in general but I struggle with moving on to the point it’s affecting my drive, and it’s harder to hide from the people around me. I’ve never been one to show my emotional side, so I feel even the tiniest crack in frame will destroy my relationship with people who see me as the rock. I don’t really have any trusted male friends since he passed, and my LTR is obviously not an option to confide in. What can I do to preserve my relationships while not letting myself slip further into this hole?
