I can't get over my ex boyfriend. What should I do?

Meeting new people can help, more than we think. because that make us see things clearer. why should we accept the fact that we can not be with them (our exes) anymore? because some other people worth to get over these feelings, they can show us everything is easier when there is someone to walk with during this ordeal. With addition to that it will keep us busy and away from our sad feelings. of course there could be more solutions to get over an ex. Everyone has their own way of overcoming difficulties. Also, We should always ask for help from people we trust and people who seem like they care enough to listen.

First I am sorry for the pain anyone is feeling over loosing their ex boyfriend, loosing anyone is tough. Second the misnomer of "get over" anything is possible. It's not. You can however slowly move forward, it won't happen overnight. The key is finding the real reason you can'r move forward, to do that I hope you have friends to count on. If you are reading then find someone here on 7cups you can lean on. Just talk to them about nonsense if you want. Play happy uplifting music, help someone in need. There are so many things good things you can occupy your mind wth. In the end you never want to "get over" that person. Everything has a purpose. Rejoice in the time you had, they will always be apart of you.

The best advice for getting over someone is focusing on yourself, it may not sound helpful but in my experience when you put your head into bettering all the other aspects in your life such as work or even a hobby, you forget about the pain and start feeling better and better about yourself.

Focus on yourself and your own life. Spend time and energy on improving yourself and focus on things that you like to do or experience. Work on being happy with yourself and where you are. Take steps to reach that point. Most importantly give it time, because letting go does take time. Allow yourself to let go even if it is painful. It will pass. With time it will be easier to handle. Also remember it doesn't mean you have to stop loving someone. As long as you can move forward and also be open for new people and experiences. Connect with others that you can relate with in a positive sense.

Focus on something productive, try new things. Use this time of being single to meet new people, bond with family and friends and improve yourself! You don’t need a man to make you happy!

If you want to heal from apast relationship, it might be wise to take some personal time to reflect on the relationship . Allow yourself to feel like joy and pain and anything else associated with that time. This may allow you to have a sense of closure. Hopefully that helps!

Learn to love yourself and invest time in doing things for you only, like fill your time with productive things: doing sports, going to workshops... and you will forget about him :)

if you cant get over your ex, you need to start making yourself busy at all time, try hide all the conversations you guys have so you are not attempted to reread. hide all the pictures and you cant know the code, so you wont keeping looking back at the pictures when you guys were together. try to make a list of things you hate about him and keep reading it everyday. you might get over him slowly but its a progress and it might help

I know its hard, ive had break ups as well. What you should do is keep going about your daily routines and activities. Do things you enjoy, even if right now you cant find much joy. Mourn the loss but realize you are going to be ok. Your life is full of promise.

Find something to take your mind off of things for a while keep itself busy ... Or find someone new to take ur mind off of the old

Try and get your mind off of him. Hang out with friends, bond with family, or even do something for yourself! Get a haircut, change your hair color even. Do something that's going to make you feel better and relax you. I like to paint and play the piano when I need comfort.

There's a new age process called cord-cutting that helps to sever emotional ties between people, that can be helpful.

Talk about it with friends, and try not to focus on it. Find healthy coping mechanisms in your life that work for you.

You can try to focus on yourself a bit , to start telling yourself over and over that your ex was just something from the past and not it's gone , That you don't even need anyone who doesn't want you around , Try to care for yourself more and the people you really love and those who care about you , you will get distracted by your own awesomeness and you will forget about him and you are going to find someone who really value your beauty.

You should hang out with friends, lose yourself in an activity, ... Anything that could take your mind of of him, because thinking about something often will only make you think about it more, until you start to ruminate. If this is too hard, or is working in reverse, another way is to grant yourself half an hour of thoroughly thinking about him (per day/per 12hours/...) After those 30min., you prohibit yourself of thinking about him for the rest of the time.

Try by distracting yourself to the things you like and block him from all other social apps or contacts.

What you should do is like read book that are funny and are not about love so that it will help you get him out of your head.

Try going out more, maybe you just haven't found another person that you like as much yet. I can't help you much, since this hasn't happened to me. :)

Take your time, do things you love. Connect with other people who will support you and help you get through it, know that it's normal to miss people who are no longer in your life. Talk to someone about it, talk to your ex about it if it's necessary. Don't blame yourself for whatever happened in the past, and maybe love yourself before you love others.

Everything takes time, especially heartbreak. Cry, express yourself and hold nothing in. Staying physically active is also a very important part of recovering.

focus on something else. find a new hobby that can distract you from the breakup.

Try to find a new hobby, make new friends, talk to old friends. Of course, grieving is necessary, but if it's interfering with your life you may want to consider talking to a therapist.

Talk to your friends and do something with them or your family. The most important thing is to get out of the house and get your mind free of all those thoughts.

Ask yourself what it is you miss about them really. Depending on what it is see how you can compensate being single and doing these things for yourself. Breakups are always worst the first few weeks and maybe even months however eventually you find your way. Remember you were just as whole now as you were before they entered your life.

Getting over someone you had an emotional connection with can be very hard. Wheather it was you or ur partner who ended the relationship it ultimately leaves you and him/her with many insecurities and questions about and to yourself such as "did i do the right thing?" "Does that mean im not enough?". In my opinion the first step in getting over someone is to clear out your head from all the doubts and seek peace in the ending of things in order to e able to look beyon and reach step number 2 which is to learn to love yourself. Which is important because u must reassure yourself that you are no less than enough and that you are capable of being on your own. Step number 3 is to distance yourself from any confusion or altercation concerning your ex, its best not to have them walking in and out of your life as they please which leads to step number 4, be confident that you will find someone for you, but in order for the right person to come along you must be the right person that can be found.

Don't contact him for a while. That means absolutely no facebook messenging, skyping, texting or stalking. Don't look through your old photos or e-mails -- put them away. If you are still grieving and are feeling a bit anti-social, staying at home is fine. Read a book, watch some TV shows, get yourself an organised timetable for daily routines, Or you can go out and hang out with friends, and maybe even reach out them for help. Keep yourself busy. It's hard, but remember the hardest part is already over when you decide to take action. Don't reach out till him until you're emotionally stable enough and rational enough. You can do it!

Take it one step at a time. A break up is not an easy thing to get through. But always remember why you break up with your ex in the 1st place and accept it. Then try to move on knowing that you can do better.

You have to think with a positive mind. sometimes in order to get over someone you have to just let go...I personally am a very attached person and I find it hard to let people go but sometimes you just have to give up and move on...try take your mind off things by going out with friends or doing something you enjoy like a sport or a hobby

It is so difficult to get over some you care about. One minute they are in you life the next they are permanently gone. The best that I found to get over a boyfriend was to acknowledge the loss; acknowledge the pain; busy yourself with great friends and healthy activities and also take some time to take care of yourself.

If you can't get over your ex boyfriend, from experience, the best thing to do is to look for new things to do. Find something that can keep your mind off of it or something that makes you feel better about yourself. You can start small. Try to improve yourself. Know that life keeps going and you need to make yourself happy.
