Why can't I seem to move on?

Because you've caged yourself in a place that you don't belong to, so you're feeling that your goals are useless related to the cage you're in. Get out of the cage at first, then think what are your goals and set a plan to reach them.

Sometimes we feel that we can never move forward after things happen I think one step at a time is important as in time join all of the steps together and you will have a future

Because there is still some memories of your ex left. Try to fill your day with more activities that keep you in a positive mood. Go on a new relationship sounds like the fastest way to make new memory. But that's all on you.

You can’t seem to move on because you’re not only afraid to let go of the past and you’re afraid of the future. You can’t imagine life without that special someone until it was over and you can’t seem to move on.

I can't seem to move on because in my mind I feel there is still hope not the person that I really want in my life will see the good in my heart and in my soul. Many times I feel that periods and I can indeed bring a relationship back together when a relationship is really no longer accepted by the other person. The one important thing that I have to learn from all of this is learning to comprehend understand and accept denial that keeps me from moving on.

Well, something is clearly still "holding you back", maybe you feel like you have unfinished business with the situation you find yourself into; My friendly advice would be to try to relax, take a deep breath and keep your mind out of things that might take you back to an unpleasant sensation; and above all, keep in mind that you come first

Because there is still something to gain from not moving forward. Something what didn't came up yet so it is pulling you back. re-visit the situation. : )

you need to understand why you need to move on. so you should start doing things that makes you feel better about yourself. be grateful for the lesson you learn, don't do anything that will make you go back to feeling sorry for yourself. believe in yourself that you CAN be happy without that person in your life. try to engage in healthy social interactions and make new friends, learn something new.

Sometimes, we all have stumbling blocks in life, things that we just can't get over. This may come from the fact such a thing really mattered to us, but if it becomes too troublesome, you may consider checking out a therapist.

Sometimes, we feel like we can't move on because we keep going back to the same thought, over and over again.

Subconscious blockages, how much you depend on the person/thing can linger in your heart/mind. It can take a while to force yourself out of a rut but surrounded by positive energies, atmospheres and people you can do it! It will definitely be worth it.

Because your head has problems that are not closed. You are healed when you close all the doors that lead you to be in an bad position. Sometimes you don't even know you still have open doors, but you must keep running and look for them

Moving on is really difficult, especially when you had a close bond with that person. Focusing more on yourself and making yourself happy is a useful tool in many situations.

Moving on is often hard due to the fact that we get attached to people. When you get attached and start to care for a person, leaving them seems like you’re the one to blame, like you’re guilty of something. People can’t move on because of that feeling. They can’t move on because they can’t accept that it’s passed. That the relationship and the memories are just memories, happenings of the past. Once you accept the fact that the relationship doesn’t and can’t exist anymore, it gets easier to move on. Let go.

you are moving on slowly, the moving on process is so quiet and needs time, at the end you wont even notice that you have moved on

Moving on is something very difficult to do and it is not easy, but remembering to love yourself and always work on you, time will heal.

Science has proved that once you break up with someone you tend to like them more. I, however, have mixed feelings where one moment I'm angry the next, sad. For me, it's just a confusing mess of wanting the person back and wanting to push him away. I really can't tell you why you can't move one, all I can say is that you do miss them because you once (or still do) card for them, and can't just give that up very easily. For right now, give yourself time, because you're human and time will heal almost all wounds, I promise.

Moving on can be a very difficult thing to do, since humans are naturally drawn to familiarity. We don't want to have to start over and face the unknown, as we tend to experience feelings of anxiety. When we start to go out of our comfort zones, the fear can be a lot to handle for some people. Although it can be a mentally exhausting process to go through, moving on from old experiences can be a positive and healthy choice to better oneself. Many things can come into the equation when asking yourself "why can't I move on". This can relate back to self-esteem issues, or mental roadblocks. Gaining new experiences in life can lead to new perspectives and can also lead to becoming the best version of yourself.

Some of us are in a way "addicted" to sadness. We think we don't deserve happiness, and we don't pursue it. Try to see this day as a day of possibilities, and opportunities to turn a new leaf. Happiness can be around the next corner, don't be grumpy when it finds you again, because of something that happened in the past. The past does not exist anymore, it's gone. You are here, alive, and capable of changing everything! To move on you need to accept that some chapters are finished, having even just a small tiny hope about something that has hurt you before, is ruining your precious present, and present is all you have. Surrender yourself to the mystery of tomorrow, and smile at it, because the next best thing must find you welcoming. :-)

I have personally experienced a situation in my life that relates to this. Not being able to move on can apply to relationships, friendships, and even school in a way. The best advice I can give with minimal words is to list out why you should or want to move on. That usually helps me. If you are still feeling this way then you should try talking to the person it involves and both come to a conclusion in which you are both happy. The main goal is to trust the process and everything will work out the way it is meant to be.

Inaction is the cause of stagnation. To move on from something, you must replace it with a healthier activity. For instance, a soda drinker can sip lemon water. To get over a relationship, turn the focus on yourself. Work on personal goals and improve yourself. Then you will attract a better partner. But please do not sit home in PJs eating ice cream or you will feel worse. Go for a walk and enjoy nature, drink 7 cups of tea! You must take care of mind, body, and spirit to allow yourself to heal. Time is needed to get over past hurt.

For me, why people can't seem to move on is because they are choosing not to. There is a saying: "If you don't like where you are, move! You're not a tree." Moving on is starting with yourself and how you want things to change. It's okay to cry. Let it all out. But don't dwell on it too long. Life has so much to offer! There are many things that you can divert your time into: Family, friends or hobbies. Try new things that you've haven't done before. Socialize and meet new friends. Travel to places you've always wanted to go but never had the chance. This is the perfect time to find yourself again. It's always hard at first but you can always get back up. Little do you know you've already moved on. All it takes is a little courage and it starts from you.

Our minds have trouble letting go, we're only human after all and it's only normal. This is especially the case when we don't acknowledge how we feel and try to ignore it. Sometimes facing grief, no matter how painful, is the only way we can move forward. Take it one day at a time, and allow yourself to heal, don't force yourself as this has the opposite effect. Repressing certain feelings might result in anxiety, depression, dysthymia, and obsession. When we can’t move on, sometimes it feels like we have no control over anything anymore. It’s important to empower yourself and try to accept the past as we cannot change it, but we still have a future and this might give us some form of hope.

Moving on takes a lot of effort. You will have your good days and you will have your bad days. Some days you may drive out to old places just to sit and cry. And that's okay. Most people cannot move on because they hold onto the hope and emotions that came with the relationship. They want to believe that somewhere, deep inside the person that they lost, they will realize what they have lost and want to come back. That is the toxicity of some relationships. No matter how hard we try, we cannot let go of someone who was once ours. The easiest thing to do for me personally is just talk. Talk to people you trust about how you feel. Talk about your anger, your sadness, how hurt you are. Just talk. Talking is the best way to let it all out, because how can we move on if we hold all this anger and sadness within us? We can't. So talk. Let it all out.

moving on from a person / relationship or whatever it may be is hard especially when you love them a lot but moving on is healthy to do. maybe one of the reasons you cant seem to move on is you are still thinking about them. try to distract your mind and body from them. surround yourself with people / activities that make you happy and make you feel content if you like dancing take a dance class if you like painting pull out the pens and paint if you like singing turn the music up. accept that it’s okay to still have reliefs towards them even if they are not there anymore. it’s a healthy mechanism.

Moving on doesn't happen overnight. When a relationship lasts a long time, you have built a close friend that you have spent every day of your relationship talking to that person and have become attached to them and used to their company. It's normal for moving on to take a while so stay patient. You just have to try and distract yourself by staying busy and not thinking about that person and surrounding yourself with support from friends and family and eventually you will become used to not spending time with that person. Often, or at least in my own experience, we think we cannot move on but really we are just missing that person and their company.

Moving on is hard...life will get you down but you have to help yourself up. What I mean is no matter how hard life gets there will always be another day....a new day to start over. I cant love on from my ex. He hurt me bad but I still love him. Love hurts. Love motivates. Pain doesn't last forever. It might feel like it does but no...it doesn't. Life is beautiful and you won't get to experience it if you stay in bed and cry. You have to be strong and work on you self. No matter who or what hurt you...keep going. I know it hurts...hurts alot...but be strong.

It seems like you are holding on to your past and don't want to cut ties. Try to be open to exploring the new opportunities and possibilities. Live your life and you'll find amazing people on the way who will make you feel more wanted and happy than the previous ones but that doesn't mean you should not care about your past. Always respect and give time to your previous friends. But don't let anyone hold you back in any situation, you are the writer of your own story and I think you know best who are the people you want to be with. And you are the answer to all your questions!

I was with my boyfriend for 2 happy years, till one day I couldn’t recognise him anymore. He turned pretty violent towards me, and it seemed like his goal was to make me cry. I broke up with him shortly after I noticed this change, but I’ve felt empty inside since. It’s been 5 months and I’ve had a short ‘fling’ with someone briefly, but nothing felt right, because it wasn’t him. I still have this ache, and the fact I’m seeing him changing drastically now, turning to drugs and wasting his money on alcohol, and hanging around with the wrong people. It breaks me to see the person he is now. I sometimes just imagine him walking through my door and giving me a big hug, whispering in my ear ‘I’m back now’, but I guess I’m just dreaming. I just do not understand why I can’t seem to get over the same person who hurt me.

At times the idea of moving forward can seem scary. Depending on the type of relationship you've had with the other person. Also, people don't like change. Because of this falling in a routine or hold habit can be common. Just know that once you feel ready to take that first step, it will become easier as you move forward. You are not alone in this. It is a process of learning and growing. But I'm sure you'll move forward when the time is right for you. Lastly, know your true worth that is Upmost importance during this time.
