I can't get over my first love. What should I do?

The first step is that you have got to fully understand that you must reach the point of wanting to actually get over your ex. The next step is that you shouldn't just stop talking to your ex overall, but you also shouldn't communicate too much. Then you have to realize that just because that relationship is over, it doesn't mean that you'll never find love again! Also it's okay to let yourself cry, so if you feel like you need to, don't hold back! And most importantly, be open and honest about how you're feeling to yourself, and to others.

Distract yourself by engaging in social activities. This is a great chance to meet new people and you may find someone you have feelings for.

Make a little space for it. Just make sure you put it on the corner, where it's easy to forget and easier to find when ever you want.

Fall in love again. There's not much more to it, but you can't get hung up on them, as much as you want to.

just accept where u are right now. examine your thoughts when you refuse to let go. take one day at a time

Learn to understand how to let people go. It's for the better and I guarantee you will find someone.

Give yourself time to adjust with that changes that will happen in your life and the time will come when you will remember the memories in your heart and your mind will replay it again and you will keep on smiling whenever you remember it.

Its been a long time since high school, your first time attempting with love, but the fact is you're still struggling to go on another date. This is probably because your brain distortedly views this past relationship with rose coloured glasses, and ignores the circumstances that made the two of you part. Perhaps, you are daydreaming for months over the 'could have beens' and disregarding reality. But self-care can help you settle closure. Personally, I suggest writing a goodbye letter to your first love (which you don't have to mail), in which you thank them for being a part of a chapter of your life and promise yourself to write the current chapter of your life story without this character. Past is past and it doesn't make sense to re-read a chapter of a book you haven't finished. One chapter doesn't signify the meaning of the entire book.

Getting over a first love can be very difficult. They were the first person you loved and now they aren't there anymore. To get over this, you just have to push yourself. Ask yourself simple questions like, why did we break up? Could we really be together in five years? Was he really "the one" for me? I understand right now you're hurting, and I wish I could say it doesn't hurt. I also know it's hard to believe but there is someone better out there. Just slowly get over ex, go at your pace, no is focing you to move on. Moving on is all up to you.

im in the same position its hard I know but you will probably always love that person but sometimes the only thing you can do is move on or talk to them and maybe get them back
