Does recalling a past story mean you are "hung up" on it?


Recommended Posts

if i thought of something that a past boyfriend did, or a friend, or something like that, years ago - and I no longer see this boyfriend, and we've long since broken up and lost touch, and it was something he did that I was confused about at the time, and never understood. but then i moved on with my life, and I shrugged it off, and then something else happened recently that sort of reminded me about that past thing, and i remember it, would that make me "hung up" about it? like, does this mean that I still want the ex-boyfriend and I can't "move on"? I already know the answer to this, as I see it, but I am curious to see what other people think?

 

For example, let's say a former friend did something that had bothered me at the time - i can think of a specific example - i am no longer friends with her - but i know this particular thing bothered me and i never really figured out what the heck happened, or what she was thinking or why she did this thing, but we've moved on with our lives and we don't talk any more, and I have other friends, and I am not staying up at night worried about it, would that make me unable to "move on" if i recollected it one day, and wondered anew why the thing happened? Does this signify a problem in me? if it does I certainly want to fix it. But to me it's harmless recollection and wanting to figure it out.... but maybe i'm wrong? i'm with that if i am!
