How do I stop thinking about him?

You can't stop thinking about him, he's going to be present in your thoughts because you're not over him yet. The only thing that will help you get over him is time. I got into a car that smelled like my ex-boyfriend's car today and I almost started crying-- I felt pathetic but then I realized how beautiful it was that something so simple and dumb could make me feel something so real. It's best not to forget what you had, but let yourself focus on other, more important things as he fades into the irrelevant. It's ok to be reminded of him from time to time and it's equally normal to think of him even when you don't want to. Some things demand to be thought of and we don't have much say as to whether or not we'll think of certain people.

You may find that it helps to busy yourself with other tasks. If you're a student, maybe that means immersing yourself in a textbook, or making a study guide. Maybe it means finding a hobby to help absorb your time with, like reading, drawing, writing. For me, it's those moments when I'm not doing anything that allow my thoughts to run rampant, but it's important to remember that time heals all wounds. In time, you -will- forget about it; not permanently, but at least in a way that doesn't cause you pain anymore. I wish you the absolute best-- stay strong!

You can stop thinking about him by realizing that only you matter and nobody else. By realizing that nobody is worth wasting your time over. By knowing that you can't compromise on your peace of mind, dreams and life for some human.

You don't. It just fades with time. The thoughts hurt less and less, and become fewer and farther between.

Go out more often, socialise and be around positive people. Have entertaining things to do, focus on your life goals.

Keeping you mind occupied, go out and run, do exercise, paint, watch dumb cartoons, cook a new recipe, chat with new people, and only go to sleep when you feel like you are tired, so when you're lying on your bed you don't have to think of him. :)

Your mind has a series of patterns. It is natural that there are many things that will naturally cause your brain to make the connections to a particular person or thing as well as a tendency to repeat the pattern (The more you think of something the more your brain is programmed to think of it) Try retraining your brain. Next time you think of something that makes you think of "him" think of something else instead. For instance if you think of "him" whenever you think of cars, think of cars and than direct your brain to the thought of driving, or tires, or road trips. This will speed the process but even without doing this eventually your brain will form new patterns on it's own and you won't even notice that you no longer think of "him."

Ya know, I cant say that you will. You just have to keep going, no matter how hard it hurts and I will hurt for a while.What I can say is comparing him to every guy you meet wont help, that'll only make it harder to move on. Before you go on a date, always have a "he could be the one" mindset. Your next date could be everything your last couldn't be.

You may not be able to do that right away. If you can, congratulations and I am really happy for you! But if you can't, you can begin my deciding HOW to think about him.
