How do you get over the past?

[Reesi]

Sometimes I still cry over things that happened 14 years ago does anyone feel like this too but majority of the time I'm happy

The past is just that... the past. It is nothing other than a memory. Memories cannot harm you. They are phantoms... images in your mind.

Once you realize that the things that hurt you are no longer there to hurt you, you can move on from the past.
You can also. turn the past into a learning experience. Avoid behaviors that had bad results.

Did all. i say really work? It can, but it takes time and a new perspective on. life.

I’m reading some self help articles they said to be conscious of your thoughts. See your thoughts as a stranger in a car asking you to come in. You can refuse to come in and protect yourself. Refuse to entertain a thought that you recognize is negative.

When you get to the point you don’t want to allow it to hold you back.

Sometimes love cuts very deep into a person. And it can scar you for a lifetime. Memories are hard to vanquish. I dated somebody years ago when I was in college. We were planning on getting married that coming summer. She dumped me and did not give me a reason why. She did not return my calls or messages. I even stopped by her work and she totally ignored me and left the area. I still carry that wound some 50 years. But I have learned to get over it. I also received help. I can empathize with you. So hang in there. Just remember you are a child of God.

Reject any negative thoughts immediately and replace them with something positive. If you get it out of your conscious mind fast enough it won't have enough time to make it into your subconscious mind and keep bothering you.

It is normal, adolescence is the best stage of life.

IT really depends on what exactly happened that will determine if it’s worth getting over or not.

[Themostabsurd]

You cry over things that happened when you were 16? Unless they were severely traumatic events that's fucking weird.
