One-sided love is all love. When I love, I think fondly of another person. Beyond that, I believe that is what is known as 'greed'. I had a friend as a kid who was my 'everything'. He told me to make a racist joke and act inappropriately in public, and I listened. I didn't blame him in the least for that. When he told me he didn't want to be my friend I felt devastated. I think of him until this day. Is that love? Do I need to forget? No matter my answer, what he did and what I did are done. I remember the past, and so it hurts, I remember the past, and so I try to 'act normal'. What you carry with you into the future is a choice you make everyday in what you do. Because of that memory, I am different.

Love is one of the strongest emotions. So forgetting it can be challenging. However, there will be times when we must move on from a relationship. If I were giving my best friend advice to this question, I'd say, when you think of the one-sided love, cherish the good times. You know the ones that made you smile and laugh. And then channel those same "giddy" feelings back towards yourself. Always remember, you deserve love and you can always receive it, should you be its provider. Life is precious, so engage in sports, activities and gatherings that help you feel great about yourself and increases the love you feel within. Love is one of the strongest emotions. The right one will find you. Until then, you just hold down the fort :)

One sided love is beautiful and terrible. It's pure and innocent but it cuts your heart in pieces. You always hope that it's mutual. That somewhere your love is shedding their tears for you. That you are loved by them. But when it doesn't happen, you break. It stings, hell it burns! But there's nothing you can do, the scars have to fade naturally. Spend time with your friends. Quit staring at his pictures. That is all you can do. You will have to let go. And it will not be easy, at all, but you will be free again and find the love that deserves you.

No one is perfect, even the people you love. Identifying and reminding yourself of a person's negative qualities (even if they're just little things) can help you stop idealizing them and, for lack of a better phrase, start seeing the other fish in the sea. Acceptance will also play a big part. That is, accepting that, even though you love them, they do not feel the same way about you and you cannot have them in a romantic capacity. Get out and meet new people, build friendships, and reinforce your sense of self-worth. You deserve more then them, anyway.

It is hard to forget anything that you love because you put that time and effort in. This is somebody that you deeply cared about. Those memories and thoughts don't just go away overnight. However, remember that you deserve that love right back! Try to focus on loving things that do love you back. You can spend more time with friends and family that care about you. You can focus on hobbies. Most importantly, remember to love and care for yourself. Also, don't feel like you need to forget within a certain time. Give yourself compassion to take the time that you need to move on.

RosesEmpress here, welcome and glad that you reached out. I understand that you want to forget about your “one-sided love”. Sometimes we ask the wrong questions. And that is ok. There are many ways to get to the truth and so many many questions. Maybe it is not about forgetting but about remembering how to focus and develop a relationship with ourselves. Therefore, either its about: “how do i forget, or how do i distract or how can i get out of this situation “ the answer remains the same. Focus on your relationship with yourself. How would your best day look like? How would your best date look like? Take yourself on a date and see how that feels. Get to know yourself. Be aware of your thoughts so you can change the focus. You are in control, you can do it!

Dive into distractions. Practice self-care. Let yourself be upset. Reach out to friends and family members.Be honest. Explain why you've decided to end the relationship. ... Talk to a therapist. Working with a mental health professional can help you recover from the breakup and examine your own role in relationship imbalance. ... Take time to recover. Look forward to the future. Set goals for your next relationship. Cut contact with the other person. Put yourself back out there. One-sided love is basically a feeling of loving someone who doesn't feel the same for you. In short, one-sided love can be referred to as an infatuation or any kind of attraction but as well as this is true love too. This feeling is for someone who does not reciprocate your feelings.

Remember you are not alone and this happens to everyone. The only thing which will help you to heal is "distance". Try to stay away from whatever belonged to him/her. After doing this for more than expected days you might still not forget mentally. Sometimes, it's such a bad experience that people go in the wrong direction. But you can do it. He/she left cause he/she was not meant to be so have faith that things will get perfect even though everything which you did for them might have went unnoticed, unappreciated. I wish you the best.
