To get over somebody and move on is it best to just push all your feelings away and just act like they don’t exist?

You could, but ultimately it will come back and bite you in the future. It's best to deal with the feelings, and process them in a healthy way. Ignoring them will just cause them to appear in different ways. Otherwise, would you have really moved on if you still have unprocessed emotions associated with that person?

As long as you aren't rude there's nothing wrong with wanting to protect your feelings

Is that what you call that? Protecting your feelings?

[TheMajesticKing777]

I guess so, what would you call wanting to get over somebody?

[TheMajesticKing777]

It's definitely not a selfless choice lol

That’s true. Just ended things with this guy bc of long distance and when we talk I can tell he’s trying to push all of his feelings for me away and act like they’re not there. He’s even tried to tell me he doesn’t have feelings for me anymore. But then the next day admitted he still did. It’s like he wants push away his feelings for me and convince himself he doesn’t have any feelings for me either

The thing about that is that you can outsmart reality, cause reality will always catch up to you
