How can you tell that you have really moved on?

When you no longer feel an emotional attachment to the person that you were with, when the thought of them no longer triggers a negative response.

Really moving on differs from person to person. Some people feel like they move on when they begin to start dating other people. Personally, I know I have moved on when I start to feel better about myself and know my worth in life.

When you move on you don't care about seeing that person anymore and don't think about the person anymore. You have found something else to put your energy into.

Moving on happens very very gradually. Many times, thinking about it too much causes you to hang on longer. That is why many times, people suddenly realize that they've moved on months down the road. You know you've moved on when you've stopped thinking about the person daily, don't feel an urge to talk to them, and have that moment of insight.

When a guy/girl asks if you’re single, you respond with a resounding “Yes!” (and not “Yes, but I just got out of a long relationship”). You no longer reread old text messages that he/she sent you. You’ve stopped checking his/her social media pages. When you hear he/she is dating someone new, you’re happy for them (or at least indifferent). When you realize that you still have a photo of him/her on your phone, you delete it without even flinching You don’t feel awkward when you run into him/her in public. I think these are what I know of! Hope I helped!

When you go on with your day thinking about yourself more. When at the end of the week, you're like "Oh! I haven't thought of him for a week?!". When everything you've blamed yourself for seems to go away. When you start accepting that it wasn't because there was something wrong with you, but because it was just not meant to be.

You know you have moved on when you don't expect a text every day, or a phone call. You don't really find yourself thinking much about that person every day.

When you no longer feel hurt and talking about the previous experiences no longer bothers you as much as they used to be. Thinking how to know if we've really moved on shows that we have moved on, or that we're almost there:)

When you're no longer frustrated or worried about it. You seem lighter and happier. The pain isn't in your chest anymore. Your mind isn't constantly fighting over thoughts. That's when you know that you've truly found happiness and peace within yourself :)
