How can you tell that you have really moved on?

1. When you hear his/her name, you don't feel guilty or sad. You feel normal. 2. You don't cling onto your memories. But you cling onto life experiences when you spent your life with them. 3. You feel like you're doing great, even though you're alone. 4. You can love yourself more. Because when you moved on, you have time to repent your flaws and get better. 5. You don't feel like coping yourself inside your room or crying over something. Instead, you want to go outside and help many people, or meet friends. And moved one is all about finding your real self back. It's not always bad. It's actually a me-time that you've been asking for.

I don't think we ever fully move on from losses and pain, so anytime something could trigger an emotional response. However, I think that there comes a milestone you hit eventually that works as a statement of your healing process. It's usually when you're capable of maybe not be /okay/ with what happened but be able to look back without absolute fear and sadness. You've "moved on" when you don't feel weighted down by your past, when you are able to create new meaning to your life and find happiness and joy in things that used to mildly trigger you back in the day.

How you can tell that you have really moved on is to liken the situation or circumstances to a scar on your skin. A scar reminds us that there was an incident/accident that cause the wound to appear. As time goes on we nurse the wound until it begins to heal. As the wound heals it turns into a scar. Most scars do not hurt unless you continue to re-injure it and turn it back into a wound. So how can you tell you’ve moved on? You are aware that situations and circumstances happened in the past (because you see the scar) but they no longer cause you an emotional energy (hurt, pain, agony, etc...).

I believe that you can tell that you really moved on from something when you start to feel yourself healing. When a new door opens, and something or someone starts to get your broke heart beating. That's when you know you're healing and moving on. If you arent feeling this yet, just know that it takes time, and the healing doesn't happen overnight, but you will know that it has happened when your happiness is starting to restore itself.

Most of the time its a feeling of weight lifted off of your shoulders. You may not think about it hardly if not at all. Your mind is not clouded by thought of that which has been a problem or a burden. You feel good inside about a decision made, you don't doubt yourself as you would have if the problem or situation still exist. You may be able to talk about what you could not before, and you may be able to help others along the way because of your experience. There is no guilt no burden, just peace of mind. You are now ready to let go and move on.

When you can think about it and your heart doesn't hurt and you stomach doesn't sink. When the thought of being with someone new doesn't make you feel guilty or dirty. When you can imagine your future, and feel positive about it, without including them in it. When you can think about making plans for your weekend and you don't wish you could invite them. When you think about falling asleep at night, alone, and it doesn't feel scary or lonely. When you can sit in a place they would've sat with you, and do something you would do together, and feel peaceful.

In my experience, i can tell if i have really moved on when: I'm able to think about something without letting the memories of that specific thing bother me. This can only be achieved if you have made peace with the past, hence i think this is the best description of how you could tell you have really moved on. Everyone goes about their business differently, so to this question will not be one definitive answer, that's why i base this answer off of my own experience. Moving on isn't the easiest thing to do, especially if you have a lot of history with said thing or person. Talking about it helps you move on.

I feel that you can tell that you have really moved on when you realize that there were gifts in the situation that took place in your past and it has made you a better person. Sure, we all have regrets and there are situations that we wish we could go back in time in and change, but I believe that everything in life ebbs and flows and we must learn to embrace who we are and how far we have come. If it's a person that we were trying to move on from, it's when you wish the best for them and understand that what happened was for the best.

"Moving on" is very much a state of mind and a reflection of the emotional recovery that have made / are making. Ultimately, it comes down to the investment you made in your, the emotional and physical affect of the separation, as well as the investment that you have made in processing. This is a question to which everyone will answer differently but most of the answers will be ostensibly saying the same thing: when you do not experience anxiety when you think about or see your ex. Assuming that this is a "normal" relationship without children, domestic issues, or any additional issues that would otherwise complicate the separation, it is something that you will know and feel when it happens. If you approach the separation logically; suss out what you can to understand the reasons behind the separation, particularly after talking to your ex; and taken the time process, it will become clear. There is never a one-size fits all answer to questions like this, but if you can function normally without irrational, illogical or illogically protracted, and/or moot thoughts, that is a good start. It also underscores the point that the onus is on you to put in the work to heal and "move on"; if you play an active role in reclaiming your identity without your ex / getting over the separation, you will be on your way to better understanding the break up, yourself / what you want, and when you have "moved on".

I think you can tell when you can talk about and see that person without feeling something or missing them. I also think that you know you've moved on when you aren't thinking about them constantly and you can complete a sentence without talking about them or mentioning something they did depend on the situation. It's hard to move on but you'll realize that you've completely moved on when you notice that when you normally think or talk about the person, you didn't this time. For example: If you lay in bed and think about this person every night, yet you broke up or separated and you didn't think about them night and it continues. That's a good sign.
