What's the meaning
of tears at me?
"Once I graduated, we starting falling apart. We are still decent friends, but nothing like we were then. But I keep coming back to him in my mind. Nothing I do gets me away from it, and it tears at me."
Thanks a million!

So I guess it has two meanings?
I also found another idiom that's similar "tear at your heart", but I guess this could be different than the one the author is using.

Jin_HSo I guess it has two meanings?No. It's just that there are (as usual) multiple ways of explaining the same thing.
