Why do I wake up thinking about my ex?

Even though you may not like him anymore, he still is in your mind, because you have a special place for him in your heart.

because you still like him/her , he/she is history , but you had loved him/her once upon a time , so its not that easy to forget him/her, if we take the case of an ice- cream , we eat the ice cream but still its taste continues to be in our tongue , for a while, in the same way , we continue to think about our ex until someone else enters in our life.

That's because you still think about that person a lot, which is normal. Your (now ex) partner used to be the one you first thought of when you woke up and your last when you went to bed. It takes some time to get used to the now different situation.

Maybe something about them is hard to forget, or a conflict between you two has not been resolved yet.

Because even after the relationship ends, the memories remain and that doesn't go overnight. In fact, it wouldn't be wrong to say that those memories don't leave you till you are alive. We humans always remember times when someone makes us feel good about us and when someone makes us feel bad about us. No matter how much we hate our enemy or someone we dislike, we do remember what they did to us. When we remember bad things done to us then it is pretty much obvious that we would miss our exes as there was a time they made us feel the best about ourselves.

It is normal to think about the person who meant a lot to you at one time. You will have shared many moments and memories together. However you are not together for a reason, whatever that reason may be. If you feel it's time to move on from them then you need to take those next steps to achieve this. If you feel that there is something there still, between both parties then maybe communicate with one another and re-evaluate things. But remember, your happiness comes first always.

I wake up thinking about my ex too and sometimes during the day. It's part of your past and a little part of you may still love your ex.

I think it's more common than people think, to be thinking about their ex. You shared memories with this person, connections, feelings and emotions. They were part of your world for a period of time. So just like when we reflect on other memories in our lives, I think it's normal to reflect on these memories with our ex as well. Experiences that we have had in the past can really help us to understand how we are in the present moment, and what to do in the future. So don't feel confused or sad if you're thinking about your ex, it can be quite normal.

How long have you been thinking about your ex? And how long have you guys been broken up for? They sometimes say - physcologically- we think of someone who is thinking of us - That being said it is clear you still miss them with the greatness of your heart and are still dealing with the emotions which came with the breakup. It is a learning path and is very understandable at first for them to easily pop into your mind. It takes time to gain back control over some of our thoughts which hold us back slightly. There are resources out there for you to use to understand more about your mindset.

You wake up thinking about your ex because that person has played a huge part in your life and has once been someone very important to you and might still be important now, as they have been with you before.

You find it really hard to let go the people that you care about. This is normal and shows that you are a passionate and loving person.

You remember something good you guys did together or you dreams about him /her or maybe that person is thinking of you

I would personally wake up thinking about my ex because I missed all of his good characteristics. I know that an ex is an ex for a reason, but still. I didn't like the fact that someone is going to possibly experience a better side of him. And actually work out. I felt like I lost.

Maybe you still have feelings for them or an unresolved issue. Sometimes we regret our decision and that regret takes over our minds and it's all we can think about. They are an ex for a reason remind yourself of this reason . If you still feel the same maybe reach out to them

You wake up thinking about your ex because he was a part of your life. You never forget people like that.

Waking thinking about an ex (whether it be good or bad thoughts) is normal when the break is fresh, and may even come up every so often. It doesn't always have to mean something more than it is: a random thought popped into your head. For times like this, to avoid falling into a tunnel of overthinking, it would be helpful to remind yourself of who you are and that you cannot be with your ex for various reasons.

When someone is important to us and we have spent a lot of time with them it is hard not to think of them. Thoughts of these people could pop up at any time of the day even if we have not seen them in some time. Sometimes there is no real explanation and other times something may have triggered the memory.

You obviously have residual feelings for them. It doesn't have to be love or affection, but you simply miss what you do not have anymore. People aren't used to change, and it's completely normal. Just let yourself slide out of it and you will sooner or later. It's okay to think about them and miss them because you probably had meaningful moments with them.

Sometimes you miss someone and that's okay. Part of it might just be because they were a big part of your life and they are no longer there. Whatever the reason, it is obvious that they had a significant impact on you.

It sometimes happens that if your relationship was a long-term relationship or pretty intense, you still remember your ex even if it's been a while since you broke up. Maybe you dreamt about him/her. You're probably missing your memories together, but not him/her.

Pretty self explanatory - You miss her. It's okay, we all sometimes think about our exes. It's a part of life.

It is because you loved this person and have memories with this person. It's normal to miss them from time to time. or even long for them. Forgetting is easy when it doesn't matter but forgetting something when it meant the world isn't that easy. You are allowed to miss this person just don't forget that there will always be better things waiting for you in life.

There are a lot of reasons this could be, but be careful trying to guess at what unconscious thought means. How do you feel about your ex? Maybe it's time to reconnect with that person, or maybe they're just thoughts.

Often times it is hard to break off our emotional feelings even though the relationship may have ended. It is not wrong to still feel emotional and attached in someway to someone we were once close to. Healing and getting over someone takes time, so you are not alone in this feeling. Perhaps finding spending some time focusing on other interests, maybe activities, friendships, or even other relationships can help your mind to ease into its path of healing. Just know that there is nothing wrong with still thinking about them or having feelings for them, because it simply takes time to overcome. You can do it, one step at a time. :)

Ending a relationship is a big thing, not only is it almost like deleting someone you spent a lot of time with from your life but it is a big step into your future, you will take what you learnt from that relationship with you. It's normal to think about someone, that you spent a lot of time with and thought about a lot when you were together, it's almost out of habit.

As humans, we hold onto kinship and the natural tendency of familiarity. You were familiar with him/her/them, but know that you are no doubt familiar with yourself. Even more so, because your identity is every composite of who YOU are. You wake up thinking about your ex because memory doesn't fail us. Know that the devotion to yourself is one much grander, that the past is only a catalyst for greater things. Nothing wrong with clinging onto old memory, but there is so much more beauty in moving on.

you probably miss him a lot, I mean that is someone you devoted your time and heart to and no their gone if anything you would be a sociopath if you didn't

When someone who was a very central part of our lives leaves, for any reason, our minds tend to fixate on the whys and hows as to try and understand that feeling of loss.

Getting over an ex can be like rolling a boulder up a giant mountain. Your heart's muscles scream. Your body literally aches. It's just the worst. But every day that you try to roll that boulder up the mountain, your muscles get a little bit stronger. Just like every day that you wake up thinking about your ex, life has given you a few more things to think about. Maybe it's a new friend, maybe it's something you learned at school or work, maybe it's just a really funny story someone told you. But your life will fill with new facts and truths and light, and before you know it, your ex will become just one of those truths. You will still love them. But the boulder will start to roll up the hill. Your heart's sore muscles will ache a little less. Your load will lighten. Believe it or not, you will move on one day.

It’s not necessarily because you miss your ex or still love her/him. It’s mostly because you are in a phase in your life where you are not involved in a romantic relationship that is capable of fulfilling the emotional void(which everybody has). And your brain simply matches your ex with this void. However, I have found out that there are many ways to replenish that gap without another person. Thinking about your ex is only so natural but you shouldn’t let the thought linger. You will keep thinking about your ex until you don’t. And that day comes, I promise.
