We can't control who we do and don't love, it is unnatural for us to turn off those feelings, many people have gone through the same feelings you do, I can assure you, it is not abnormal

I wouldn't say it's a bad thing, but it depends on why that person left you. I can personally admit I'm still in love with my ex, even though we broke up last year due to being far away from each other. I respect the reason he gave to me (LDRs are not easy), but I still have feelings for him, and he admitted that his feelings for me hasn't changed. So, if the reason the person had for leaving is not a “bad reason”, I'd say it's not bad to stay in love.

Yes it is. Simply because that person literally has moved on. You should be out enjoying yourself I’m sure they are doing the same thing

Try to move on with your life. It's not easy getting over a relationship - try and see the positive things from it but sadly if they don't feel the same way about you, you can't make someone stay. Remember to treat yourself kindly whilst you get over this though.

Depending on if they love you back, being with somebody who doesnt love you could result in another break up, leaving sadness to carry on throughout.

I think that without finding a way to reframe this care for someone to having "love for them" will keep you feeling stuck. We are all worthy and deserving of being loved in return. You deserve to receive love back from someone whom you are giving your love to. By staying in love with someone who's left you you are keeping yourself tied to them.

We ca not really choose whom we stay in love with our not, since it's an emotion we do not control. Love is a weird thing, and to some it might not make sense to still be in love with someone who has left us. However, it might cause you more pain than good. Trying to improve yourself, maybe start in the gym or join a pottery course, can make you think of something else. Then one day, be ready to start meeting someone new. Someone who won't leave you.

It depends on the circumstance, however i am a true believer in thinking that if you and your partner breakup, there is always a reason behind it. More for you to have time and different stages withing your life to wish you had them back, and wish you missed them. I don't think its a bad thing to stay in love with the person who left you, however there will always be days which are better than others.
