Why does it matter if your ex is thinking or not thinking about you. What matters is what you think. Like Budha said - What you think, you become. And Everyone want to be Happy. When you are anxious about what your ex might be thinking, you are losing your peace of mind. You are forgetting to live in the current moment, and your happiness is in someone else's hand. That is pathetic. Why do you choose to suffer? Choose happiness. Choose Freedom. let others think what they want to think. Love without expectations. and always Love. Keep loving. Keep smiling. Spread happiness and be happy

All you can do is ask them and hope they give an honest response. Then again, they're your ex for a reason so contacting them wouldn't be the best idea. The healthiest option is to just move on and it's hard to do but with time it will happen. From personal experience, it's taken me 1 week or even 6 months but it comes eventually and it's one of those things that no matter what you do it all just comes down to how you cope with it. That being said, I hope you're taking this time to focus on yourself and find your hobbies and other interests.

It is usually, generally not possible to know what another person is thinking (or whether someone is thinking about you) unless they explicitly tell you. If your ex says, writes, or somehow otherwise clearly informs you that they are thinking about you, that would be a sure way to know that they were thinking about you. Unfortunately, without them doing so or taking similar action, it is hardly possible to know what is going through their mind. Depending on your relationship with them, you might feel it is appropriate to ask them, but if you don't feel asking is appropriate, then without them informing you, it would be difficult to know.

Hey, I’ve been in a similar phase. I think the only way to really know is when she or he occasionally reaches out to you , asking you how you are and what you’re up to. Don’t become to clingy though, wait for him or her to reach out, don’t be too available even though you could climb walls having them reach out to you. Stay cool don’t respond right away. You will make yourself more interesting that way. In today’s world another sign could be if your ex is checking your insta story etc in case you guys are still connected.

You will know if your ex is thinking about you if he tries to still contact and keep in contact with you or you even talk on a regular basis and are friends. He will check in with you periodically to let you know he still cares. He will tell you he thinks of you and misses you. He will wish you happy holidays and special days. He will remember all of the special dates for the both of you. That is how you will know you are still in his heart and he still thinks of you. He will maybe even try to hang out or try to see you.

I think the question here should be, why do you want to know? In my opinion, and in my experience, relationships end for a good reason - perhaps you are not seeing that right now but regardless of how things ended - it is a new opportunity for you to move on to better things. You might feel right now that, that was the best thing - you'll never get better, maybe you feel like you don't deserve better? Take it from someone who has been down that road and thought those feelings - your ex has let you go. It's painful but it's also a good thing for you. Concentrate on yourself for a while - practice self love, take self care sessions and take yourself out on a date. Seriously, go out and get yourself some of your favourite food, take yourself to the beach and get an ice cream and just sit in the sunshine - go do that thing you've been wanting to do but can't because you're single. Get yourself on a plane and have a weekend away for yourself! When you love yourself, opportunity comes. At some point in your life, whether it's tomorrow or in many years to come - you will cross paths with a soul mate. They will make you see what your old relationships had been missing - cherish those first few moments. The butterflies, the nervousness - that first kiss. It's exciting. Be excited for your new future now that nothing and no one is holding you back. You deserve good things - give them to yourself. (Taken from my own personal recent events - sending love

Unfortunately, if you aren't talking to them, you won't know if they are thinking of you. I've wondered the same thing, and it's usually when I'm thinking about them. It's usually at a time that I miss them or wish they were with me. It's important to acknowledge that wondering about them just means that the feelings you felt for them were real. Once you acknowledge that, it's important to not bruise your ego wondering if they felt the same. It's a maddening process of forgiving yourself and accepting that you still think about them and then letting go of worrying about how your ex felt/feels.

There's no way to know what anybody else is thinking unless you ask them. Focusing on your own thoughts, however, can help lead you through what's important to you, what's bothering you, or what you want: why is it that you're considering what your ex is thinking? Remember to give yourself space to feel and mourn a relationship, and also to be gentle with the thoughts that surface while you adjust to your new normal. Focusing on your own self-care can help alleviate some stress about what your ex is doing/thinking. "Let yourself process the grief - The only way out is through, and by allowing yourself to feel, you can move forward and feel better. It is going to take time, but it is possible. The five stages of grief, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, are crucial to learning how to move forward without the one we lost."

For starters, you should ask yourself why you want to know if your ex is thinking about you. Perhaps it's time to move on. However, based on my experiences, if your ex reaches out to you, initiating contact, likely it is because they miss you or, at least, were thinking about you. Other ways I can imagine you could tell is if they post about you on social media or talk about you with their friends. You can't read their thoughts, unfortunately, and more likely than not, you aren't even around them, so it is incredibly difficult to know what they are thinking. Step back. I know it feels good to know our exes are thinking about you, especially if you miss them. Or maybe it just feels satisfying to know they miss you, regardless of your feelings towards them. I've been there. But instead of wondering if they're thinking about you or not, try evaluating why you are still thinking about them, and try to create a plan to heal and move on.

It may be difficult to determine what someone is thinking about. Perhaps messaging them and engaging in a conversation can put your mind at ease. However, It is crucial to remember that feeling confused or missing your previous partner is normal and part of the process. Therefore, recognising and identifying your feelings will allow you to reflect on your decisions. As aforementioned, you will never truly know what an individual is thinking about or their thought process, unless you communicate to alleviate the feelings of unknown. Also, if you feel as though your mind is occupied with thoughts of a specific individual you can always distract yourself doing different activities.
