Seeing someone from my past changed how I see myself

Hi everyone, I am Jadon, and I want to share one moment that has been sitting heavy in me. I recently saw someone who used to be very close to me and instead of warmth there was distance in their eyes and a careful tone in their voice. The conversation was short and polite and it felt like we were strangers who only shared memories in my head. After that day Geometry Dash, I started questioning my own worth and replaying old moments trying to understand when I stopped mattering to them. It made me feel replaceable and small in a way I did not expect from such a brief encounter. Has anyone else felt this kind of deep sadness after realizing a bond existed only on one side and how did you begin to heal from that realization.
