How can I stop thinking about my ex?

there is no one way to stop thinking about your ex. if it's best for you to just ignore them and block them then great, but that doesnt always work. time is going to be your best friend. it always takes time. you have to come to terms with you you really feel before you are able to move on. what draws your mind to that person? you have to figure that out before you can just stop thinking about them. odds are you deserve better anyways. another way is to surround yourself with friends and family who love and care for you. there is no one way to just stop thinking about your ex, so find what is going to work for you.

Sorry that you're going through this, and i hope you stop thinking about him! So in my personal experience i really struggled with this because i still loved my partner even though we broke up. Anyhow, i found out that the best way to get over it and stop the thoughts is to surround yourself with other people. Whether it is family or friends - someone supportive. Someone that will keep you on your toes or try to distract you. That lasted for a while, but i decided to try doing things i haven't done before. Yoga, painting, etc. It really took my mind off of it. I hope it get's better!

As cliche as it sounds, it will take some time to get over an ex. The best way to get over them is to do what makes you happy or rediscover passions you have and discover new interests to cultivate an appreciation for the self. It will take time, and no one says that it's easy.. getting over someone that you care for takes a lot of time and patience for yourself. Aside from doing what you can to indulge in yourself and to distract from your ex, it's always good to remember that with this process, its okay to hurt and to miss them. They are/were someone that you cared deeply for. Allow yourself to feel both positive and negative emotions to navigate your way through the breakup, and be gentle with yourself through the process.

this isnt the easiest question to answer. but personally, id say it takes around 3 months to completely get over someone. during those three months? try distracting yourself. try playing a new game, theres a bunch of cool free ones that are coming out. join a discord server. make new friends. find a new hobby. just hang out with people in general. keep your mind busy, trust me, it helps. change up your sleeping schedule maybe, change helps a lot. also get rid of anything that reminds you of them. get rid of the songs, the clothes, the posts.

It’s totally normal to be ex addicted, even after months have passed. After a breakup, your ex becomes the default setting that you mentally and emotionally go to no matter what happens. Whether you’re trying to get back out there and date or just staying single for the time being – you’re unhappy and in a constant state of pain, anxiety, and rehashing. Everyone you meet is a highlighter (they do nothing more than highlight the absence of your ex). There are no erasers in sight. We are all energetic beings and the second that someone can sense our indifference as genuine (and not as a means to elicit a reaction/drama), they panic because they know right then, that they are no longer in control and that you are no longer a bench-warming option. People ALWAYS want what they can’t have/let slip away. This is true even if you’re not in communication with your ex. Energy always transcends conventional communication because energy is our only way of truly communicating.

When you think of your ex you think about a person previously associated with you. Would you please take a moment to think what does the word 'EX' actually mean. Ex means OUT, ex is a Latin root which means OUT. Next time you think of your Ex as a person 😄 You know what to relate him/her with.( Word OUT) This is just an general idea and very easy to penetrate into your mind. Because we are so emotional on certain topics like our past relationships, there ought to be a very unusual yet interesting way to make yourself understand about it.

When we break up with someone it's hard to move on. We have formed habits of texting or calling them. Living with them. We need to reach out to others. Text a friend. Go to an activity, church, book club, sporting event. Find something that occupies your time. Renew that hobby, read a book, watch a movie. Shut your phone off and focus on other things. Bake, take a walk, go to a museum, do something that you haven't had a chance to do in a while. Stay active and busy.

The best way to stop thinking about your ex would probably be to focus on yourself more. Do some self care. Hang out with your friends. Spend time with your family. Try to get rid of traces that remind you of him/her. Delete their pictures, and try to avoid them for a while until you know that you're completely over them and are able to talk to them without getting attached once again. Spend time doing what you really like whether thats playing video games, shopping, watching Netflix/Youtube, etc. I think that would be the best way to stop thinking about your ex :)

It is okay and normal to think about your ex, especially because so many moments and experiences have been with them. The main suggestions I can give is to take some time off social media, when you go on social media it can think make you think about them or take some time off with your phone. And do things that can distract you from thinking about them. This can be running, baking,singing,anything you enjoy doing and if you do not have anything you enjoy doing. You should find one! It will definitely help you get over your ex. The main suggestions I can give is take some time away from your phone or social media, delete any memories or pictures with them even if it may be hard.

Unfortunately, there is no quick and easy fix. Its a gut wrenching feeling having come out of a relationship and not being able to stop yourself from thinking about an ex. Your best friends will be keeping yourself busy and time. I know those answers suck, but they truly will get you through this. Picking up a hobby, whether it be a form of exercise, maybe something computer based like gaming or graphic design, or if you would rather something practical like building things with polymer clay or painting. Spend time trying to find a hobby you like, and just immerse yourself as much as you can. Of course there will be times where you stop and think, its inevitable, you are human, but overtime, you will find other things to stop and think about.
