How long does it take to get over someone?

...read more
I don't think it's so much getting over that someone, but it's trying to get over all the memories you created, all the amazing times you shared, the ups, the downs, the laughs, the cries, the pain, the arguments, the love. Going past a place where you spent time together or smelling their perfume, that's what makes it even harder to move forwards. It takes time, some people take weeks, others takes months, others take years, some may never really get over that someone. It's difficult, it's painful, you'll feel okay one day thinking you're moving forwards and then you'll find yourself crying the next day. You need to give yourself time and be kind to yourself.

Everyone is different. As much as no one wants to hear this, it's true. Some people can be over a person rather quickly and some can take a while. Make sure you have a good support network around you to help you as you work through the hurt.

It's on you. You're the one who decide when you are willing to let him/her go. Just take everything as lesson or experience

There is no real answer for this, there never will be as everyone is different. As is everyone's relationship and love.

That varies from person to person and it also depends on how much you liked them in the first place. I think

There is never a real timeline for getting over someone. Some say that it takes double the time that you were with someone to get over them. I find that to not always be true. You just gotta live your life. Keep busy with friends or family and one day you will realize that it doesn't hurt as bad as it did before.

Unfortunately that varies from person to person. Some people move on almost immediately while others take years to fully come to terms with the loss. Best thing to focus on is being happy with yourself so that when the time comes for that next person to cross your path you're all the more prepared.

I would recommend reading up on grief and loss, as every person deals with this transition in separate ways.

It takes as long as it takes. Every person has their own timeline. Do not feel like you need to rush anything. Feel your feelings and when the time is right, you will heal.

There will never be a set time for how long it takes to get over someone. However its different for everyone , and some people may never get over the loss of someone close.
