A short YouTube transcript of Anwar White answering a caller who says she misses her ex. White's core advice: people often miss the idea or the feelings associated with a past partner (the imagined future, comfort, trust), not the person; they can recreate those feelings with new relationships and experiences, and should seek healthy new connections.

Navashant.
Naivash. And I can't even know what your name is. My ex and I broke up. He keeps trying to come back, but my instincts won't let me. I'm scared and want new and healthy. But I miss him so much.
You don't miss him. You miss the idea of him. You miss the thought of the future, of what y' all could have had together. You don't miss him. You miss the feelings that you had when you were with him. But what you need to also understand is that you can have those feelings with new people and new experiences. And it's your job to find and seek those things out.
You miss the feeling. You don't miss the man.
Trust. Okay?
