How to forget my one-sided love?

One-sided love can be mentally and emotionally draining. In my experience, it is easy to forget one-sided love by refraining from giving it to the non-reciprocal person, and rather giving it to myself. To love myself; my mind, body and soul. I have learned that people come and go, love and romance comes and goes. The only person who is permanent in my life is myself. That is the most important relationship that I had to improve. To forget about them, I had to focus on myself! Become the best version of myself, cultivate self-love, and redirecting that one-sided love to the ones in my life who do truly love me; my friends and family members.

Dealing with a failed relationship is not an un-common thing these days. In the first place you had the courage to love someone even without knowing it may work well or not, so you should be able to deal with the second part as well! You can't run away as such from failures. Learn to walk through it. Listen my friend failing in your love is surely not the end of the world. There are better things waiting for you in the horizon. Numerous ways are there to get out of love failures in theory. But in reality the task is always difficult. Upvote the answer if you like it!!!

Hi there~ I know how hard it is to have a one-sided relationship with someone. But I would encourage you to not beat yourself up just to fall in love. Love is not something to be forgotten. It is a feeling that can't be forgotten. And it's not your fault that you fell in love with someone who couldn't give you that love back. It is a human emotion that you felt or feel and there is nothing wrong with that. A lot of times we think, we are at fault for loving someone and call ourselves the reason for 'our own sufferings' when that is not the case at all. It is the disappointment that you feel when you don't get the love back. Well now how do I move on? It is easy. It is to accept the fact that you did nothing wrong. You did the absolute best thing you could ever do and that is to feel the love. Once you do that things simplify in your favor. You realise that it was never your fault to love and the fact that nobody needs to force themselves to accept feelings. In this way you learn how to respect yourself and the other person who is involved.

You can forget your one-sided love by embracing it as a part of you that is so generous which can allow you to love someone selflessly. Why would you want to forget such strong quality of yours? It just adds up to how lovely you are. You are just amazing. Develop a good routine full of habits that captivate you. Surround yourself with lots of good people, who can make you "feel good about yourself"(its important). And allowing yourself all the time you need to move forward to next chapter in life. It is not easy, yet possible. Only thing required is Perseverance. Allow yourself baby like sleep. Cry when you feel like, eat when you feel like, be regular at work/study, maybe skip on a really bad day, talk to listeners, friends, family, watch good movies, play, laugh, do excercises, go for walk. Even 3 activities would do great to start with. Embrace your growth in you sweetheart.

It might be difficult to forget one sided love. Still one has to realise that there nothing outcome will be there with the one sided love except hurting one self for not being loved by the person on the other side. In the end it is not a love as the person on the other side is not ready to accept the love which is of no use. Thinking of this love all the time yields nothing but pain in the end and hurting oneself. The best thing is to realise that this is not live and try to engage one self in different activities.

One-sided love, we have all been there. Rather than forgetting, it is important to remember that it is a great feeling to love, we love and if it is not reciprocated we move on to love someone else a little more. Loving someone who does not love us back is nothing personal. It is not about you, it is about them. They may be dealing with something of their own. As the saying goes, it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Because in the end, all we are left with is hope.

Give Yourself Permission To Grieve. When you are faced with an unreciprocated love, it can really hurt. so try not to have a mindset which only tells you to move on without allowing you to feel the hurt first. Once you feel like you have let the hurt sink in , try distracting yourself. Practice self care as much as possible. Engage in activities that bring you in contact with other people. Try cultivating a hobby. Maybe distance yourself a little from them at least for some time so you get space to think about what you actually want.

Frankly speaking, it's hard to forget your love, whether it's one-sided or two-sided. Only thing that is do-able is accept the fact, meet new people, explore yourself, enhance your talents/capabilities, self-care, and most of all, love yourself. Once we start accepting the fact, we will eventually get out of it...even if we don't stop loving that person, we'll be able to live with the love for them in our self. Focus on yourself, give time to yourself, understand yourself better. Focus on your career because your careering is going to be with you for the rest of you life.

Personally, for myself I’d sit down and remind and clarify for myself what my values are and my needs and wants in a relationship and partner. Probably on paper. Then I’d think about what do I want my life when it comes to relationships and love. I’d consider and write down any ways in which their behavior, and mind with them, has supported or interfered with what I value and need in a partner. I’d probably make a pros and cons list even for the good and bad of staying with the person. That would probably give me my answer and make it easier to walk away.

Take time for yourself and try and do something that you are going to enjoy and love everyweek. For example, take baths, walking, gym, sports, journalling, reading, video games, journal anything that will keep you busy and then soon you will fogot. Its a hard process but life will get busy and every day as you move on the person you are thinking of will get less and less and less. You are strong, you are brave and loving something/ someone to much is never ever a bad thing, If you can get some therapy that really helped me.
