How to get over someone really?

[Anonymous]

It's been almost 3 years now. And it's like dealing with addiction. This is ridiculous. I want to be able to accept a new person in my life.. Yet she pops up in my head as a calming thought whenever I feel anxious. Or whenever I have a conversation with a date.
I don't want to be obsessed.. And I do a good job avoiding thinking of her but still it never fully goes away.

She could’ve been the love of your life, or at the very least someone that impacted it greatly. You may never fully get over her or the thought of her, but you can still live your life. I don't know if you’ve accepted that she’s gone, but once you do that, and then not search for her in other women, that makes all the difference.

This all sounds about right

I believe she could’ve been ‘the one.’ If she wasn’t you wouldn’t have such a hard time moving on let alone 3 years. You may not fully get over her but you can still live life.

Well, let's hope you're wrong 😅

I was exactly the same with my ex. Took me 3 years to let go and move on. I was only able to do that after I found out he was in a new relationship and loved her. Killed part of me inside when I found that out, but I did eventually let go

Well I'm glad you did ☺
I found out about a boyfriend after me. And that it didn't work out and didn't last long.
But it still felt good to know she moved on from me and I felt I could do the same.
I'm not quite there yet

I hope you got there soon. There's no time limit, but I'm sure you'll get there

The one who got away..

What happened between you two if I may ask?

[Asker]

I noticed I wasn't able to make her happy anymore because of my own failures. And the relationship turned into me hating myself for fucking up my life and my relationship.
Basically we both were in a mentally bad place. So I thought maybe this means we would be happier apart. Which is why I initiated the break up.

Just ignore them and distract urself

Easier said than actually implemented irl

Just unfollow them and block them on ur social medias
