No it’s not a bad thing if you still love someone after a breakup people will still feel something to you aswell if you broke up with them don’t worry you will forget about it and you will stop thinking about that but for now you might still have feelings for that person that left you and if you would like you could always tell that person maybe they still have feelings for you too and if they don’t then it’s ok then you have to keep going and always keep your head up high and forget about all the bad things in life ❤️

It does not make you a horrible person, it just doesn't help much to heal your wound. It is natural to maintain feelings for someone even after they have broken your heart, so no one should feel bad about it. However, no one in the world deserves to feel like that! It is a horrible feeling and it is impossible to move on from the pain if one keeps dwelling on the past. Best way to get over someone is to keep reminding yourself that you are a superstar, and you do not need that person in your life. They left... their loss!

Depends. How the other person and what your goals, needs and wants are? It is very difficult to live life though. In my own experience, I think soonest you move on, easier is the life. Move on doesn't necessarily means finding someone new, but able to let go from past. Mindfulness and yoga practices are based on living in present moment. I guess, continue loving is kind of living in past. So it is better to let go of past and embrace present moment. If more details of the relationship is available, I might be able to say more.

Of course not love. You can still long for them and want them back with all of your being and be in love with them but it doesn't mean they're coming back. They might, but it's best to let go when this happens. It's a grueling and painful experience but it's what must be done. I had a guy who I fell in love with- I really fell in love with him, he was my first love- pick my best friend over me, and it devastated me. I became depressed and I couldn't function and it was a bad time for me. I was still madly in love with him but I was also angry. I was angry at myself for "not being good enough" and mad at my best friend for being what he wanted. But over time I learned to not just forgive him but to let go of him. He wasn't the one and he couldn't realize what a wonderful person I was. But it was hard and took a long time to get over him. I just hope the process is easier for you and you don't have to go through the emotional and mental trials I went through after he left.

Now, I wouldn't say that it's bad. If I told a member that it was bad to feel this way, that would be counterproductive. They might think that they are a failure for not being able to move on. However, I'm not encouraging staying in love with someone that left you. It does no good to be stuck on someone for way too long and miss other opportunities that may arise. What I'm trying to say is that it's normal. Validate their feelings but remind the member that doing this won't bring back the loved one. Ask forward-looking questions, rather than focusing on their ex.

It is completely normal to stay in love with someone who has left you. It shows that you still care for that significant other. I have recently went through a breakup and I still love her and there is nothing wrong with that. It means that I still care for her and I will always be there for her. Love is never ever wrong, it is a true gift to have the opportunity to love someone that has been there for you and who has been a big part of your life. So to answer your question again. No, it is not a bad thing to stay in love with someone who has left you.

Not at all, it simply means that you still care for them even though they decided not to care for you anymore. That is nothing to be ashamed of, at all, and you should always treasure feelings like that. And besides, knowing that you still care just makes you a better person over all. To be in love does not always mean being in a relationship. It usually means finding someone you care about, and want to get to know more than you already do. So no, it is definitely not a bad thing to stay in love with someone who left you. Just be sure it doesn't hurt yourself in the process :)

Loving someone is never a bad thing. Loving someone is your choice, being loved by them is their choice. If you truly love someone, you won't get hurt even if the person doesn't love you back. It doesn't matter whether the person is with you or not. People don't get hurt because of love, people get hurt because of expectations. Sometimes we get lost in this materialistic world and we forget the beauty of this world. Sometimes we forget how to love and we start complaining when things don't go the way we want. We always have a choice.

It honestly isn't a bad thing at all! Love is a complex human emotion. Rejection is a societal stigma. Allowing yourself to love someone even after they've left you speaks very highly about your attitude towards love and towards your ability to manage your emotions. Remember, however, that you can stay in love with someone who left you. But it is harassment if you cross the line and try to contact them after they've explicitly "left you". Allow yourself to embrace the complexity of love rather than run away from it. Give yourself the freedom to know what it feels like to love unconditionally without expecting anything back in return.

Absolutely not!! It is completely normal for someone to still love a person whom had left them. Although it is not the most convenient at all times, its still completely normal and I would not worry too much about it if I was you. You'll forget about them soon enough, but until then you should talk time to treat yourself!! You deserve it!! If they left you then they probably don't see how great you are and you deserve much better!! I hope the next person you get with teats you like Royalty. Wish you the best and have a wonderful day!!
