Is it normal to check your ex's social media?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, checking an ex’s social media is common, especially after a breakup. It’s worth cutting back if it keeps you stuck, upset, or tempted to contact them when you’d rather move on.
Yes—lots of people look up an ex out of curiosity, habit, or because part of them still feels attached. A quick peek doesn’t mean you’re obsessed or that you secretly need to get back together.
The catch is how it leaves you feeling. If you end up comparing yourself, spiraling over who they’re with, or checking their profile on autopilot, muting or unfollowing them for a while can give your brain some breathing room. No grand announcement required; the block button isn’t a breakup press release.
