Because sometimes you might still love them but in another kind of love and it is hard to see someone that got away

If there was a lot of hurt feelings involved in a breakup, there may be a lot of hurt between you. Depending on the reasons for the breakup, it can feel as if there's an unbreachable gap between the two of you.

There could be many reasons, but mostly it happens bcs you have something to share, memories, feelings. You've been bounded to each other mentaly, and that makes you more than two random people. Someone takes it easy, someome has to suffer. Move on, be patient and everyting will be fine

It's probably difficult to talk to an ex because it ended poorly, or even if it didn't, you just feel awkward after it ends.

because there are so many raw emotions that you had with that person and i believe if you truly love someone you will always still care for them regardless of what has happened.

Because we used to know them as our significant one but now they aren't significant anymore to us. And it makes everything awkward and strange.

When someone used to be a big and important part of your life, it can be difficult to share or open that part of you again after the relationship is over.

it's so hard to talk about an ex-lover because it just seems unnatural to talk about regular stuff when they still know so much about you, it's hard to treat an ex pretending nothing ever happened between you two.

Most of the time, when you are over someone or they have done you wrong. It is harder to reconnect with them. Especially after you have healed

It's hard to talk to them because there is a lot of painful memories and nostalgia left, and that can be triggering for a lot of people.
