Expert Answer

Learn how to create your own safety in your body by connecting with your feelings and needs. There is something powerful in naming how you feel and what you need, rather than stuffing your feelings away and taking care of everyone but yourself. Let yourself feel everything and name those feelings, then take care of yourself and give yourself whatever you need.

Question

How can I forget about the girl?

Community Answer

While you many not forget the girl who hurt you, the hurt will lessen over time, even if it seems like it won’t. When love doesn’t work out, it’s painful. We feel the pain for a while, then the pain lessens over time. We find our way, and we meet new people. If you are having trouble moving on and it’s been a while, you might benefit from seeing a counselor.

Question

I want to forget my love failure, but it's impossible. How do I move on?

Community Answer

Try doing things to distract you. Spend time with your friends and family, take up a new hobby, or learn a new skill. Start keeping a journal. Most of all, be patient with yourself. Over time you will find that you are able to go longer and longer times without thinking about it.

Question

I had a crush. I heard that he hates me. How do I recover from this? I feel depressed because I loved him.

Community Answer

It can be difficult when your crush doesn't feel the same way about you. Know that it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you. Take some time to focus on your health and happiness. You may also want to talk to a therapist or counselor about how you are feeling. They can teach you coping strategies to help you recover from this.

Question

How can I forget my ex-lover?

Community Answer

Focus on loving yourself and being happy with your life more than you focus on forgetting your ex. Over time, you will naturally think less and less about your ex. In the meantime, do things to make sure you are healthy and happy like getting physical activity, spending time with other people, and reminding yourself that you are a great person.

Question

I am a girl. my boyfriend cheated on me with a girl that he loved before our love. I want to take revenge. He voluntarily created many problems with me just to avoid me and leave me. I sacrificed many things (even my studies) for him. What can I do? Please help.

Community Answer

Give yourself time to get over heartbreak. You want to seek revenge right now because you are angry and hurt, but revenge is never a good idea. It can cause you more pain and even embarrass you. Instead, focus your energy on yourself. Do things to take care of your self-esteem and health. Do things that make you happy like participate in an event, talk to friends, or go for a swim.

Question

I can't forget my lover. What should I do?

Community Answer

Forgetting your ex-lover can be hard to do. Right now, focus your attention and energy more on yourself than you on your ex. With time you will get over your ex-lover and one day find that you haven't thought of them at all. Right now, do things like eat right, get enough sleep, get physical activity, and spend time with friends and family.

Question

I don't can't forget my friend, but he is avoiding me. Why?

Community Answer

It is hard to forget someone that is or has been important to you. Do things that take your mind off of him. Spend time with your friends and family, develop your hobbies and interests. You may want to try emailing or texting him to find out why he is avoiding you. If you can't find out what is wrong, you may just have to accept that friendship is not the same.
