You can’t Unlove someone, you can only learn to live without them. It might seem like a daunting and painful process, and it is. But one day you’ll look back and be reminded of how strong you actually are. Make sure you have plenty of distractions and people around you to make you smile. Maybe have a movie night or go on a walk with a friend? Anything to keep busy. Exercise is known to benefit mental health so maybe that’s a good option? Do you have any work to do? That’s a common method of distraction, you’ll get there eventually, just take your time.

Love has a few parts. One part includes the feeling/emotions we experience. Another major aspect of love is action, which is the part that gets shared between someone and someone else. Communication is a key type of action to show you love someone. One strategy to help reduce emotions/feelings of love is to stop communicating with the other person completely, both directly or indirectly through others. That non-action/communication might help reduce some of the feelings/emotions. We can also reduce love for a certain person by re-thinking who that person is to us. When we love someone, we love who they are/think they are, so conceptualizing that person differently, maybe as a stranger or someone who's now non-existent, might help reduce feelings/emotions of love as well.

You need to focus on yourself and accept the feelings you have for that person while at the same time continuing with your day and your life. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel as hard as it is. Focusing on your goals will save you from remembering the past times with that person. Finding things that make you happy and focusing on you will help you meet new people and it will also make you feel happy. The important thing to accept is your feelings to not feel bad about feeling what you are feeling.

I don't think you can consciously unlove someone. It's a process and it takes time. But I can assure you, no matter how terribly hurt you feel, this pain won't be around forever. It would take time, yes, definitely, but there would be a day when you'll just not feel it anymore. But you just need to have faith and be patient. Some of the things that can help in the process are: 1. Cut off all forms of contact, ideally. This can be hard but if it's possible, the best thing to do, to heal faster is to cut off contact, unfollow them, mute them and it may seem harsh, but even block them, if you need to. This would require courage but it would be best for you. Now if you're in a situation where that is not possible definitely, then try reducing contact to minimum. 2. Distract yourself: Now that we've removed triggers, you need to find other things to keep yourself occupied. What I've found most effective is doing some activity or work that feels meaningful or impactful to you. Work towards your goals, your dreams. If not, get a hobby. Just anything you enjoy doing. In fact, I'd say set aside specific time for doing something you enjoy. And do it. You may not feel like doing it, but you'll feel happier after doing it. Another thing I've found helpful is working out. Any form of physical activity, really. It releases endorphins and can really help in uplifting your mood. Just give it a shot. 3.Make a list of all the bad things: A helpful tip I've learnt from Guy Winch is making a list of all the bad things about the person, all the negatives they did. Whenever you find yourself thinking about them, go through that list. Keep it in your notes app if you need to. 4.Vent it out: You're definitely going to want to vent out multiple times. Don't judge yourself for that. As many times you need to, find people willing to listen. Talking about how you feel can really help. And the listeners at 7 cups are a good place to go for that. 5.Be patient: Be kind and patient with yourself. Don't beat yourself up if you find yourself not making enough progress. Healing curve isn't a straight line going upwards, it's a wave. You'll have days when you'll be fine and then you may start feeling low, but that's okay. Be kind to yourself.

In my honest opinion, it's not about unloving someone as much as it is about learning to live your life healthily and being able to accept apologies that were never given. Without context I can only gather that someone has hurt you and you had trusted that person. From experience I know how painful that is. People often don't consider the feelings of others when they do something and that, most times, leads to defensiveness, anger, and resentment. My advice to you is to reflect on the situation at hand. What happened? What precursors were there to this event? Is there anything I could have done differently? Also ask yourself how you can move on and be happy and healthier without this person, as you are the most important person in your life.

Hello, I'm sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I can understand how it feels to lose someone that you have strong feelings for. It is hard to forget someone that you may have shared so much of your life with. I can't tell you that there is an easy quick fix for getting over someone but from my personal experience, time and help from people close to me like friends and family helped but we are all different. You are the expert on you, tell me what you think might help you stop thinking about this personn?

I don't think you can unlove anyone. Love – the time, effort, emotions, and experiences – that's just something you can't take back. And why should you? It's a beautiful thing to connect with someone like that. Once a relationship ends for whatever reason, I think the most you can do is be grateful for what you had, and remind yourself that you can love yourself just as much and that you are still whole and complete without them - you're probably even greater now that you've gained so much insight and experience. You don't have to unlove anyone when you focus on yourself and your existing relationships, because you won't even have to think about that person anymore.

You cannot unlove anyone. Once you fall in love with someone, no matter how much time you think or even believe you need to take to try and overcome them, it just won't work out that way. Love is a strong passion you feel for someone and no matter how long you try to attempt to I love someone, it just wont resolve anything. Instead, you should try to love yourself. Self- love is probably one of the most important items in this world that a lot of people desire. Even though most claim it is hard to find self love it is never hard to attempt.

Take it one day at a time the love for them never really goes away but it slowly becomes easier to deal with. One day it will become easier and you will be able to move on past that person and you will be able to find new love and they will slowly become a flash of a memory. I feel for someone years ago but there not a day that goes by that they dont cross my mind even if its just for a second but then I remember that they taught me lessons that I will keep with me forever.

It isn't about unloving someone. Your next step would be to focus on yourself and be who you are. Getting over a break-up takes time and self-reflection. You might not be able to choose who you love, but you can choose your thoughts and your behaviour about it. Accept the way you feel. If you fight or suppress your feelings, you'll feel conflicted. So if you love someone, then let it be so. Love freely, and express your feelings always. There's nothing better in this world to love and let your feelings be free to whoever you choose to give it to.
