Hi everyone! I am new to the forum and I'm so glad I found this I'm gaining so much knowledge and wisdom about LOA and getting back my ex and I love being here. It puts a smile on my face just reading everyone's stories and also the advice you give each other. I can't wait to become more a part of this community!
I had a question for you LOA experts regarding your ex and social media. I spoke to Veronica and she said to try not to look at my ex's social media (for me, it's Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook - particularly Snapchat, I find myself posting things on my story so I can see if she looks at them) which I'm trying to move away from but I am having a bit of a tough time doing it. If anyone has any advice on this! I do find that when I do RS for a few days straight and my vibrations are really high, she does look at it, which encourages me to post more. But I know that if we were in a relationship, I wouldn't be obsessing whether or not she was or wasn't looking at my posts.Β
Have any of you purposely removed your ex off of social media? Veronica said it was counter productive because you would have each other on social media when you are in a relationship.Β
I would love to just hear some thoughts!! Β

I have to disagree with Veronica about deleting her for a while. I think it's much better to delete her and not worry about this anymore. The negative impact of the looking if she saw your post is much bigger than the impact of deleting her. I even think that it wouldn't have any negative effect if you would delete her, as long as you don't believe it would have one. Yes, it's very nice to act as if, but it isn't enough to manifest her. You can have her in social media and put an extra pillow in your bed and still being focused on your absence. By the way, you are focused on her absence in your post and that's the very thing that prevents her from coming back.

It's tough, but you gotta do itΒ
If you have self-control like me, just tell your fingers don't click in there.
For me it's just his facebook and instagram.
back at the beginning, I would refresh his page 50 times a day to see if there are any updates, and for his instagram I would click into every single person (girl especially) who liked his pictures HAHA
now, not only I stopped checking his pages, when his newsfeed comes up on my facebook, I even clicked on the option and choose "don't show his feeds again", so they don't even show up on my front page anymore.
Because you know what, I don't need to know what he's doing. and you don't either for your guy : )
we have no control in what they're doing now, or who they're seeing,Β
there's only one thing we have control in, and that's ourselves!Β
to be honest, things we see on their pages might influence and affect our positive mindset, and that is not good! so let's try to avoid.
I honestly haven't checked anything related to him for the longest time lol
if I can do it you can too! if you can't, you can deactivate your facebook lol or delete him off everywhere

I didnt delete mine but if you follow him on Facebook I removed following so it does not come up on my home page =). I also stopped snap chat I deleted my snap chat. This helped me. Along with just telling myself not to react to negative thoughtsΒ
I deactivated my Facebook. I have more time to learn about myself and LOA and I'm not tempted.
Facebook kills relationships.
