Getting over someone is a grieving process. You mourn the loss of the relationship, and that’s only expedited by ’Out of sight, out of mind.’ But when you walk outside and see them on a billboard or on TV or on the cover of a magazine, it reopens the wound. It’s a high-class problem, but it’s real.

Azaria frames a breakup—especially one involving public figures—as a form of bereavement rather than mere disappointment. The language of mourning and “reopening the wound” emphasizes that emotional recovery is nonlinear and easily disrupted by reminders. He contrasts the common coping mechanism of distance (“out of sight, out of mind”) with the reality of celebrity culture, where an ex-partner’s image can be omnipresent and unavoidable. Calling it a “high-class problem” acknowledges the privilege embedded in the scenario while insisting the pain is still authentic, suggesting that visibility and status can intensify, not erase, ordinary human vulnerability.
