How do I get over wanting to contact my ex?

Well, concentrate on your life. Do things. Go out and have fun. Maybe find a new person. Just get your mind clear.

Blocking or removing their information from your timeline on social media helps. Or even having space from all social media altogether and focusing on yourself.

to move on, you need to not contact your ex...concentrate on other things that will make you a better person. Delete negative people from your life.

Think of why he is your ex. Think of why it didn't work out in the first place. Don't pu yourself through the emotions again. They wasn't worth it first time.

Its difficult to get over the urge to talk to this person. besides being a lover, your partner was also your friend. its up to the individual to come to terms with the breakup and realize that they are better off without that relationship. there is a reason it ended after all

You could try to delete their number or write a king list if all the negative characteristics your ex has and realise why you're not together

It is never easy breaking up, you have become accustomed to having another person at your availability for everything and then it stops. Keeping busy can help you avoid contacting your ex and may take your mind off of them as you attempt to move on. Find a new hobby, volunteer, and focus on self as you transition to this new stage of life without your ex. Give yourself time as well as permission to talk it out when you feel like you want to contact them, so often we as people feel guilty about to still harboring feelings for a person when we know it’s over when in reality it’s very human of us. The pain of a breakup will be there for a while but accepting it and trying to move in a different direction can help you avoid the need to reach out.

Remember why they're your ex in the first place. Allow yourself to remember but not live in the past.

This want should fade over time. When you first breakup the common reaction tends to be wanting to stay in contact with someone and that is perfectly normal. When you have a good relationship with someone it is hard to break it off all of a sudden. With time this will get better and hopefully both of you will be able to move on with your life.

Try to move on by concentrating on new hobbies or activities. Keeping yourself busy is one of the best ways to get over someone.
