I stopped thinking about a boy I was obsessing over when I realized my own worth, that I'm pretty and kind-hearted without him. I'm good without him. It taught me a lesson not to hold onto deadweight. I deserve someone who sees my worth. You do, too! I know it! For me, it wasn't him. I keep my head up and focus on my happiness and goals. I put myself in his shoes and feel that he is safe and happy. Putting yourself in other people’s shoes expands your perspective and helps understand others. Healing takes forgiving others and ourselves. I let go of when I used to obsess over him; changing is how you grow, even if it's hard at first. Find other hobbies and grow who you are as a person without them. Put yourself out there to try new things, explore new interests, and make new friends. You’re doing amazing! I’m so proud of you for working toward growing!!

Pick up new hobbies/interests. It is difficult, but when you zoom out a bit, you'll realise that the world is much bigger and does not revolve around this one person.
The more you gain new experiences, the better it will get.So try and go out or meet new people and not get consumed by your thoughts. You could also try listening to music, trust me it does heal.
Also, dont be too harsh on yourself. Just give it some time, time heals a lot of things. So keep yourself distracted and with time you'll find it easier to get over this person.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
