Like I said I still occasionally think about these two women - especially the first one from 8 years ago. It's like I'm permanently scarred by them. But thankfully it's nowhere near to the levels it used to be. Not as worrying as before. But at the moment, most of the time - if I'm working, playing videogames, watching sports, or just generally busy with life, I go days without thinking about them for days, on very rare occasion a week or more. If I stayed away from social media I probably would've forgot about them tbh. I'm not friends with them on fb nor do I follow them on insta. But social media has allowed me to remember them and they occupied my mind then they initially would have done when I started to get a crush on them.
By the way the first girl I saw 2-3 a times a week from Autmun til Late spring way back in 2011 - only talked once. The second girl I saw Autumn/Winter 2013 - only talked twice. Just saw them occasionally around campus the next couple of years.
