How do you move on if you are still in love with the other person?

Am actually still figuring that but i think focusing on what you're good at like.. writing, painting, studying etc . Helps a lot because just then you do realize that your self worth and confidence is bigger than tieing it to someone's attention. Actually a therapist here sent me this: “It happens like this. "One day you meet someone and for some inexplicable reason, you feel more connected to this stranger than anyone else--closer to them than your closest family. Perhaps this person carries within them an angel--one sent to you for some higher purpose; to teach you an important lesson or to keep you safe during a perilous time. What you must do is trust in them--even if they come hand in hand with pain or suffering--the reason for their presence will become clear in due time." Though, here is a word of warning--you may grow to love this person but remember they are not yours to keep. Their purpose isn't to save you but to show you how to save yourself. And once this is fulfilled; the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits your life. They will be a stranger to you once more." -Lang Leav And keeping it in mind helped me a lot. At the end remember that: if you love something let it go if it came back to you then it was yours from the start

I make him love me and if he does not, I will continue my life and be confident that someday I will meet those who love me

By focusing in your future and what you want to accomplish. Love is energy that you carry with you, and even if it didn’t work that energy will bring you to the next step. Remember to be grateful for the time it last, accept the learning experience and move it to the future. Ask yourself, what did I learn and how I will use it to better myself? Good luck.

Oh my... honestly, this is something i need to answer for myself first, as i am in the same situation at the moment. I am on my journey of moving on, and I’m taking baby steps, which is okay. I don’t want to lie to myself by saying that I’m over someone I’m not, so it’s really okay to take time. I try to move on by starting a new chapter in my life that’s simply without him; i hang out more with my friends, i focus on other people who matter in my life. And although i often need to remind myself of my own qualities and self worth that isn’t associated with him but simply with me and who i am as a person, i am eventually going to be okay with not having him in my life.

From a young age, I learned that people the closest to you, are the ones that will hurt you the most. I learned that attachment, is a dangerous thing, because nothing will hurt as mush as your own expectations of someone. The faster someone learns to let go of attachment, and let people you love go, the easier it will get to bear the pain of losing that loved one. I know it sounds harsh, and that people will argue, but that’s the sad, hard reality and truth. The faster you realize that nothing is permanent, the easier life gets.

I describe my personal experience: In September my boyfriend and I broke up. I thought I was going to get over it soon and that's because he treated me not very well, but the reality is that no, it is not easy. At the beginning I was in the stage of wanting to go back with him, of crying around the corners, it was like I couldn't saw no way out. Now that we are in April, I am doing much better, but I still cannot say that I have forgotten him, I wish ... My best friend gave me a really helpful advice, wich is remembering all the bad things he did to me (or, in case he didn't hurt you, remembering all the bad things related with him), instead of remembering the good ones. I promise you it is very useful. It doesn't automatically magically turn the page, but it helps a lot. In my case, I also have it more difficult, because he is also my classmate, that is, I have to see him every day. But I'm sure it's a matter of time: the longer I go without seeing him and nothing, the sooner I will forget until he falls into oblivion. I think time is the key, but there is no recipe or anything like that. Friends, spending your time on things you like to do, studies and above all, not stalking his social networks, they are things that help a lot too, I wish you the best of luck!

The truth is, you will never stop loving that person - and that is okay. Love changes. It one day won't be romantic love but rather loving them for the person that they helped you become, and loving the memories you shared. It won't be easy, but this shift will happen naturally over time. So don't try to rush this process, it will only make it harder. During this time it is important that you come to terms with loving yourself again, you have this extra love - give it to yourself... you deserve it! Again, it won't be easy and it will take time but you can do it, I believe in you.

Moving on/over someone will take time. I can't tell you it’ll be over tomorrow, next week, next month or even next year. I still think about ex’s who’ve done me wrong and we’ve been separated for years. But, I did eventually move on from them. I won’t tell you to get under someone else or jump into a new relationship with someone, because that doesn’t always work for everyone. If you want to truly move on from someone, you have to start with yourself. Start surrounding yourself with people and things that make you feel happy. Being around things and people who make you feel like you belong will always make you realize how happy you were even before they entered your life. I can’t tell you it will easy. Yes, there will be days where you can’t get out of bed, or you won’t be able to fall asleep, you’ll see their social media feed and start thinking about them all over again - which is normal. You’re human, of course you’ll think of them again, etc. Once you find yourself and do the things that make you feel happy and good again, you’ll start to move on. You might not forget them, and that’s normal as well. But you’ll finally accept what is in the past and what you have now and what you have set for yourself in the future. I wish you the best, you’ll be okay and you have all of us on 7 Cups to support you.
