Time is the answer. You can't force your body to get rid of emotions whenever you like. In the meantime, learn to love yourself by meditating and taking care of yourself mentally. This is the most important thing in life. Let your emotions remove itself in good time

I believe you cannot unlove someone you once loved dearly. Either they can be replaced by someone else for whom you feel even stronger love for or you can only learn being without them which is extremely important to survive. When we want to forget someone we try harder to forget them which never works because the more you try to forget them the more you will fall prey to your own emotions. The best way is to accept your feelings, validate your emotions that you are having, and avoid criticizing yourself for feeling things that you are feeling. For instance, if you are feeling love for someone you cannot have or don't love you back, accept it. If they have cheated on you & moved on to someone else, just accept it. The more you accept your current situation the more you are validating it & making things easier for yourself. The problem arises only when we deny those facts we don't wanna hear or those facts that we just cannot approve of. We must not forget that whether we deny it or accept it, the fact is still gonna be the same. Then why hurt yourself by rejecting facts? Henceforth, just accept that you can't be with that person. Teach yourself to do things without them. If they were someone you used to do your life with, it will be indeed the toughest task for you. With the conviction to move on with your life you can do this. Time is the biggest healer. Give yourself credit each time you try, this will motivate you. If you only try a few times & criticize yourself for not getting results out of it, it is only gonna demotivate you which might make you think that you can never forget/live without them. Remember, there is nothing that humans cannot do. We alone limit ourselves.
Put your effort on moving on, not on forgetting. Put your effort on yourself, not on them. The more time you had invested in them the same period of time or even more will be required to move on from them. It is all about how strong your emotions for them were.
Good Luck,
Lots Of Love,
Angel.

I don't think you can. You can't just erase them from your memory. But you can learn healthy ways to cope and in time move on.

I guess, as a starting point, you need to know that it takes time. When you really love someone, your mind and heart gets emotionally entangled with the person that you are in love with. SO, unwinding that, takes its own sweet time. While I don't know if there is any fool proof way, but I do believe that being occupied helps - especially occupied in things that you love doing - could be anything - swimming, dancing, singing, traveling, anything else that interests you. I've also seen socializing help some people - so, if you have been a social butterfly in the past, maybe its a good idea to reconnect with friends who you have lost touch with..

To unlove someone seems to imply that you once loved them but that love and the actions of love have ceased. So, something changed, either the other person changed or your view of the other person changed. So, how can you unloved someone? You can stop loving them, you can say or do unloving things, you can separate yourself from them? it seems that you might unloved someone most because they have hurt you?

You can never unlove someone because the happy memories that you once had were all real and genuine.

Well, as for me, it take time, love and forgiveness. No matter which kind of relationship it is. Could be with your parents, your sister or brother, a friend or even your companion. When it hurts, it hurts. You will never forget but if you find in your heart enough love for yourself, you will forgive the person and move on.

There is only 1 way which is accepting the truth that this one is not your one and trying to search for someone who loves you back and gives you what you demand to be satisfied.

in order for you to fall out of love with someone, you must love yourself more. loving yourself more makes you realize that you don't deserve to cry for someone who doesn't love you back or who doesn't respect you, it simply makes you indestructible and it makes you see your worth. you have to make yourself occupied so that you'll have no time to think of him or her, like studying harder, or doing things that you love the most, or spending more time with your friends and family. you should never hold a grudge, even if that person broke your heart because holding a grudge won't benefit you & it's actually a toxic for you.
