How can I stop thinking about someone I want to forget?

If the crush isn't too consuming, we could simply enjoy the sensations. If it's too difficult, my suggestion would be time and distance. We could also try focusing on filling our lives with other things. More meaningful things, we can manage, such as personal goals. If we keep our mind empty or unchallenged, it will wander.

The best thing to do is to stay busy so you're distracted and thinking about other things. It also helps to not talk to them anymore if you still do. Another thing that helps is to delete or block them from all social media so you don't see them anymore; out of sight, out of mind! Good luck!

The more you wanna forget someone the more you will remember them. So stop trying to forget and accept they were a part of you life and try to move on.

Acknowledge the feeling. Think of something unpleasant immediately afterwards. Or allocate a time to think of the person and try not to do it outside that period.

I will be honest i am in the same situation. I think that it helps if you dont see this person or do something that reminds you of this person. Because when you do that its hard to forget. One thing i was doing was trying to fix the problem. By constantly talking to this person and engaging. Now i havent really talked to this person and that helps.

I know how you feel, i've been there, many times, time is only thing capable of doing such a thing, when i was in your situation i read a quote "Even the strongest feeling, if unrequited eventually fades". I didn't belive it at the time, i thought it wasn't true and yet one day i came to realize that it was true all along. Some days you will still find yourself thinking about that person because getting over real love ain't easy, but believe me eventually you will.

You can use distraction (sport, art), talk to some interesting people about things you love, organize something big like a travel or a party, realize that you're the only one who realy deserve your attention (yeah, you should think about you first), and do all the things that make you feel happy, and try new things ! Adventure is always exciting, it helps us to build very strong personality. :)

Acknowledge to yourself that your spending too much energy thinking of this person. Make a commitment that whenever you find yourself thinking of this person, you acknowledge the thought and tell yourself to think of something else. Be consistent and be gracious to yourself. It could take some time...

Time is all you need. One day, without notice, you realize that you don't think in that person. It's simple at all.
