I'm 22 if it makes a difference.
Yes, it does. You are young, and it shows in the lack of maturity you are displaying in your posts. That is not meant to be an insult; it is simply a fact.
I understand, as do most of us, what it is like to go through one's first major break-up. We've all been there, all survived and most of us come out on the other end just fine. Most likely, this will not be your last break-up, either -- but take comfort in the fact that subsequent ones are never quite as bad.
You've gotten some good advice here. The only thing I will add is to try to tone down the drama in your thinking and your actions will then follow-- "torturing yourself," for example, is a bit extreme. You made what you believed and still seem to believe was a smart decision. Life is all about decisions -- some we later regret, but hopefully, you learn from that and acquire skills and experience that will help you next time. Now, you have to move on and focus on your life and your next steps. What he is doing now is not relevant to your life anymore.
You have your whole adult life ahead of you. Look forwards, not backwards.
