How to get over somebody?

[Anonymous]

a couple of months ago I told my guy friend that I had a crush on him but he told me he didn't feel the same way back.

we are still friends but it's slightly more awkward now he knows I like him. before that we used to talk about if we had any crushes etc but now it's more uncomfortable to bring that up. I always used to grab his arm even before I liked him but now he doesn't like me doing that anymore. he was always a dry texter to me tbh but now he never replies.

I tried to pretend the whole asking-out thing was a joke but I confessed everything to his sister (who I am also friends with) over text and she showed him all those messages.

The thing is I still really like him and I can't stop thinking about him but I really want to get over it because I know there is no chance of a relationship. I really want to be happy with being just friends but I wish there was more. I keep lying to people about the rejection so they believe he likes me back - only my closest friends and his sister and him ofc unless he told anyone else know the truth.

I don't like anyone else in my school rn they are all assholes but I think he has a crush on somebody else and I really want to find out if that's true but how do I ask him casually?

I really really want to get over him but i don't know how

It’s understandable that you may be feeling hurt and confused after confessing your feelings to your guy friend and being rejected. Getting over someone can be a difficult and painful process, but there are some steps you can take to help move on.

1. Give yourself time and space to process your emotions. It's okay to feel sad or disappointed, but it's important to recognize that these feelings will likely fade over time.

2. Focus on self-care and taking care of yourself. This could include activities like exercise, spending time with friends and family, or pursuing hobbies and interests that bring you joy and fulfillment.

3. Practice self-reflection and introspection. Try to understand why you had feelings for this person, and what qualities or traits you were drawn to. This can help you identify what you are looking for in future relationships.

4. Avoid ruminating on the past or dwelling on what could have been. Instead, focus on the present moment and the positive aspects of your life.

5. Consider seeking support from trusted friends, family members, or professionals, such as a therapist or counselor, who can offer guidance and support as you navigate your emotions and move forward.

Remember, getting over someone takes time and patience, and it's important to prioritize your own well-being and self-care as you work through your feelings. It's okay to take things slow and to focus on building a healthy and fulfilling life for yourself, even if it means letting go of a relationship that is not meant to be.

Meet someone else whom you like.

Don't care about what others think. Doesn't matter if the whole planet find out that he rejected you, you're not a drop less valuable because of it.
