It's not a bad thing. We can not choose who to love. Love is a strange thing. What you can do is accept your feelings and start loving yourself instead.

Although a breakup can leave you still with love for the person, it’s so much healthier in the long run to accept that the relationship is over. Try to focus that love on something else to be passionate about, like a hobby or interest

No and yes. Because a feeling we feel and emotions we get aren't in our control and are just a natural process and a reaction to what we go through, so it's not a choice (not that that's the point) to stay in love or not even if someone that left us. It is bad in the sense that I would rather not be in love with someone who left me, because it hurts, but I can't choose to feel any other way either and that's ok, I don't have to stop loving them, because they are a part of me in the sense that they saw me uniquely, offered me a special experience which then becomes a part of who I am because what they see me as and what they do becomes part of my identity. To lose someone who means a lot is losing yourself, so it's ok to stay in love because that's all we can do and just learn to be ok with their loss and our own.

Well love is something not everyone experiences truly . It is not at all bad to stay in love with a person who left you , It shows your dedication and loyalty towards him . Well you are not at loss for loving someone , because you lose someone who doesn't love you where as he loses someone who loves him dearly . He would soon realize your true love someday .

It is not bad, but it is certainly not healthy. I would talk to a professional therapist about learning how to let go that way you can move on and be happy with your life.

It is normal. Love can´t change from a moment to another. It takes time to really understand how you feel

It's not bad to stay in love but if you can't let go or accept that it ended that's when you should try to change your mindset.

Love is a hard thing to stop doing. It's hard to convince yourself that they may not love you back because it is such a huge emotion.
