Once you finally focus on yourself. You know you moved on, when you're able to look in the mirror and smile. You know you moved on when you stop hearing all the voices in your head saying you're not good enough. You moved on when you're finally happy and when you can finally stand the thought of being yourself.
It can be really tough to move on from anyrhing. It really can. And it's normal. You know why? Because you're human.
But once you finally do, your life become the most beautiful and comfortable place to be and you don't want to be anywhere else.
You're beautiful. Stay yourself.

For me, I felt moved on when a metaphorical dark, gray cloud moved from over my head. It took a lot of time, but one day, I just felt free. I was not being held back with hurt, sadness, or desire to be with my ex. I felt I had a clearer head to reflect back on our relationship and what went wrong. I wasn't reminded of my ex 100 times a day by random things. It also felt a lot less scary to start dating other people and I was excited about the possibility of a new connection!

You can tell that you have really moved on if you don't think of that person anymore, you are happy with where you're at in life, and you are getting out in the world, seeking new adventures and people!

It depends on the situation. If you have lost a person due to them passing away. I know I have moved on when I already accepted what is my new normal and my new reality and realize that said person would never want me to feel sadness and grief to such an extended period of time but that does not mean I would forget them in any sort of way. When it comes to losing someone because of a break up, I've known I have moved on when I have accepted that everything is just a memory now and it's something I can learn from and remember once in a while and feel like I once again can feel that I loved my self more.

There are many ways that you can tell if you have really moved on. It is so hard to reach the end of a relationship with someone. There are many emotions going on. A major sign that you have really moved on is when you don't really experience emotions when you think about the situation/person. Those raw, fresh emotions may just turn into a dull feeling. Another sign is if you don't think about the person constantly like you used to. You can go long periods of time without them entering your mind. People can have a huge impact on our lives, especially when they hurt us, but the best thing to do is to move on.

For me personally, I know I have moved on when I can think of or see the person and have no feelings or attachment. Getting to this point will probably take a long time, but once you get there you'll know.

You will find yourself genuinely happy, and realize that it hasn't crossed your mind in a while. And the thought of it right then won't bring you down.

I think that is when you will be able to think about it/or them, without feeling hurt/sad/angry/terrible.

When you start to think of your own happiness, doing things for yourself and actually loving yourself truly. When you look your reflection in the mirror and smile, truly. When you are happy with what you are seeing.

You don't smile at the persons name anymore, you don't look at your phone every minute to check if you have a text from them and you're happy
