Don’t put too much effort into forgetting them. In fact, don’t even focus on the thought of forgetting them at all. Distract yourself with something else. Focus on yourself and your work or school. Try accomplishing as much as possible in other areas of your life, and you’ll forget about your love life in a second. Fall in love with SOMETHING else. Feel free to unfollow them on any social media. It’s not a childish act; it’s an act of a grown man/woman who knows that there is a bit of truth in the old saying: ‘Far from the eyes, far from the heart’.

Falling in and out of love is scary. Ultimately you will probably always care for someone but the level of care changes as your feelings change. Taking a step back and creating distance between you will be helpful as you will no longer rely on the other person for emotional support. You will become stronger as a person and your self confidence and esteem will also improve when you start believing in yourself again. Some of the emotions you feel will not be comfortable but hang in there because you will grow and be a stronger person for it. Good luck!

It is an interesting question , as is it even possible to unlove someone? It is more about burying the feelings you have for someone you love, so you get to a point of indifference. Usually when you love, it is also natural to move to a state of hate or anger, as in both scenarios emotions are high. Indifference to me is the unlove state, where you can keep the emotions measured and are not vulnerable to pain or hurt as a result. In my opinion, just like love cannot be planned or rehearsed, unloving cannot be planned or dictated!

Well, one can never really unloved someone. With time the love fades away but the feeling stays. At one point, we get tired and start accepting the reality. The day you accept the reality will be the day you'll actually be able to move forward.We might feel alright when we avoid the thoughts and emotions and put it far away. But, it will come back with a lot more damage when it comes. Keeping it stretched is also a burden. You cannot keep holding it for long. Eventually you'll have to let go. With the passing of time, you'll learn how to live with it.As it's said "Time heals everything." Just trust the process that's time and dont give up on yourself. Everything will be fine one day.

If you feel someone is worthy of care, respect and see good things about them , this is just natural and healthy loving. Love on itself shouldn't be unwanted. Unless it is mixed with some other unhealthy thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. From the sounds of this question the person who is loving here is experiencing something unhealthy and wants it to stop. It would be great for them to identify what is unhealthy and mixed in with this love they have. I would urge the person to unpack this perhaps through therapy,counselling or here on 7cups. It's really important to not hate the phenomena of loving but the unhealthy worlds we have built around it.

I don't believe you can unlove someone.If you meant that you loved them than you always will.There is a small piece of them imprinted somewhere inside you.However you can get to a point where your tears are spent.You can get to a point where the wound has healed and the scar is not visible. There is a point where the space that they held in your head becomes less and less until one day they are not there anymore. You can think of them fondly from time to time but it won't elicit the same reaction it once had on you.

I focused on why I wasn’t able to actively love them anymore. And realise that, out of self-respect, and the ability to love, I deserved to love someone actively. Everyday, when I would think about them, I asked my mind kindly to stop that and focus on something else I love. When I was feeling low I would talk about these feelings so I wouldn’t harbour them. And, one day it just came, that I didn’t really care that much anymore that I couldn’t actively love someone - even if I still loved them in my own way, and allowed myself to move on. Never looked back.

It depends on everyone. The first step is to accept that you truly loved them, but it might be best for you to move on. Try finding new hobbies, or talking with people things out with people who may have gone through simmillar things as you. Around the first couple of months trying to move unlove someone, try to avoid anything that may remind you of them. It is also okay to cry and let it out, but at one point you have to pick yourself up, and continue on with the next chapter of your life. But remember, that in some cases, tere might be a small part of you that always loves them.

You cannot really unlove someone, if you unlove them, it wasn't love in the first place. You can try and break contact with someone who you really want to unlove, disconnect. I'm saying this with my personal experience. Unloving someone can be done by also loving yourself much more than you love anybody else, that really helps. Start loving yourself so much that you don't have to love anybody else. When you fail to directly find love, you try to find it in other people. So just why not love yourself again and again...and till eternity :) (this is tried and tested) thanks.

Unloving someone is not difficult, but it takes time. Your heart and mind have their own way of acting. But to start with one should get busy in their routine job, and be open with your feeling or decision. It is okay to feel sad and agitated, just be patient and time will settle your restlessness. Do not try to hide or suppress your feelings, you can offload your feelings to your close friend. If it seems easier said than done, then look around in the real-life situation of people you know. You will find lot of stories like yours, and how they just don't matter with time.
