Sometimes it's best to give someone time, especially after a breakup. He might be informing you for various reasons, but surely it's about him, and not about you. Remember, you aren't doing anything wrong, and you shouldn't worry about it. He might still have feelings for you, or he just needs to take his time before becoming friends or even just acquaintances again. If you need anything, come talk to me! I'm open to listening!

May be because he is unable to face you,u can simply try asking him in a general way to know why is doing that!

He told me it wasn't work out because of distance, and because he needed to "find himself" again. As if our relationship, took parts of him away? I think we push each other away because we know how hard it is to be alone, and we go searching for the confidence needed to be ourselves again. I suggest maybe he's looking to separate who he was with you, from who he is now?

It is possible that he could be mourning the breakup. Talking to you or seeing you could trigger old feelings, and it may be too difficult for him right now.

There could be many reasons why he is ignoring you. It could be because he is trying to cope with what happened. It also could be because he wants to be alone.

Most likely he needs some distance from you, in order to feel better again. I did the same. felt in love with a really good friend but she got another guy. I took more and more distance because i couldn´t stand the pain seein her. Everyone handles breakups differently, but taking distance is quite common I think

People are weird and complicated. He could be ignoring you for a number of reasons but the most likely is that he's trying to move on/get used to not being in a relationship with you. It's awkward getting over someone and getting used to not being in a relationship so he's probably just dealing with it in his own way. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Some people find ignoring someone an easier way to adapting to post-breakup life. But if it's concerning you it may be a good idea to talk to him about it and ask why. :)

Well that depends on why y'all broke up to begin with. It may be that he is ready to move on with his life and keeping in touch with you will prevent him from doing that. It may be that he is ashamed of what he did and doesn't feel worthy of your attention. Or it may be that he feels guilty for letting go of the best thing the ever happened to him.

After a breakup it can be very hard for both you and the other person. He is ignoring you for reasons that you might have not considered. It could be because he has work or something is going on in his personal life. Either way, just Gove it some time and he might start talking to you again.

I know how frustrating that feeling can be, no one likes to feel ignored, especially by someone they love. Some people have different coping mechanisms and handle breakups differently. Maybe he just wants some space and some time to himself to make sure he made the right decision for himself. I am so sorry you are feeling ignored by him. How many times have you tried to reach out? Want to tell me a bit more about your break up? I am here to actively listen and point you in the right direction of great resources and information that might be useful.
I still love my ex. Should I feel this way?
