How do you get over someone you have incredibly strong feelings for and can’t stop thinking about but they don’t feel the same? 😬

@willeeyahm Thank you for your words! That’s what I’m hearing. And I am definitely trying it’s so hard, I think about him all day from as soon as I open my eyes until I go to sleep. And even if I get up in the middle of the night I’m thinking about him. I just want to cry all the time but I know that’s not the answer. You’re right though, it’s definitely going to take time.

I want it to happen but I don’t think it ever will and I need to just face reality and take your advance move forward. Thank again for your words. 😊

I assume its not an ex boyfriend but someone you happen to know and like and it’s not likely he has the same feelings for you? Distance yourself from him, don’t check his social media, just allow yourself to invest in anything or anyone other than him. Be sweet to yourself. Treat yourself to nice experiences. And as others said: it takes time, and allow yourself that time. It’s a process.

@g.erardo Not an ex or anything like that, someone I was talking to every day and hanging out with. I don’t think he had the same feeling for me at all. I am trying to distance myself though and give myself time, it’s just hard you know. I guess it mostly my fault for falling so hard too. I should have known better. I just couldn’t help my feelings. I feel so stupid but it is what it is at this point. I just need to suck it up. Thank you!

@gius3pp why not talk to him about it? you think he doesn’t have the same feelings but what if it’s mutual?

@serey I know he doesn’t, believe me I’d know if he did. It’s ok, I just need to try and distract myself and deal with my feelings. It’s just tough but I guess I gotta do it. I wish there was an easier way. Lol

Yes agree, time. It’s so hard, you’re right. If it works for you, try and remember that it WILL get better.

Get busy doing things you want to do/achieve. Be it working out or going for the art class you have been thinking about. That way your mind isn’t wandering about when you have free time. But also, take the time to reflect the qualities you like about him and picture that for your next partner. Lastly, make sure to surround yourself with your friends, and know that you have good people around you.

Space and time! Enjoy the life you’ve got and pursue the relationships (romantic and platonic) that actually want to spend time with you

Cut him out of your life, no contact, so you can move on

Also, give yourself some grace. Time will help for sure. Give yourself credit for being able to develop deep feelings for someone. You obviously saw something in him that appealed to you. And that’s OK. It shows you’re human and are capable of falling for and loving someone even though they may not feel the same for you. 🙌🏼

I had a similar experience recently, and the tool that helped me the most was navigating my awareness and questioning why would I like what doesn’t like me. This opened a deep wound of rejection and abandonment, and taking care of it has been life changing. Take a look into what kind of wound you might have, we all have em to a different degree. And become more aware on what triggers those wounds, and when you perform to numb them. 🫶 ✨

And in case you needed to hear this, you seem like a lovely person, kind and sweet. You deserve to be with someone who can see you and chooses you fully.

@sailormars Thank you so much, I’m definitely trying to navigate through my emotions and feelings. I know it’s going take time buy slowly getting myself together.

@gius3pp my pleasure! Something that helped me a lot was a quote that said “when you obsess over someone is because you crave change in your life, if your life was something you really loved and enjoyed you wouldn’t let anyone external steal your peace” And it made me move differently about the whole situation. Just leaving it here, I know how much it hurts, you’re doing a great job 🫶

@thee_daveed I’m not really into doing that, I feel like that’s just a temporary bandaid anyway. I’ve just been focusing on myself and putting energy into bettering myself .
