This is a unique question, I don't think I have heard many cases of missing the feeling of missing someone but it makes sense. It is completely normal to feel that, there is nothing wrong with you for missing the feeling of missing someone. While I don't know many people who have felt this personally, there are people out there who have. How to stop missing that feeling is something I don't have a great answer or explanation to since I don't know your situation but here's my best advice. I would say that to stop missing that feeling, you must first figure out why you miss that feeling. There are reasons why and I am sure you could figure it out, especially with the help of a therapist or listener here on 7cups. Once you figure out why, you can talk through those feelings and resolve them without having to go through missing someone or missing that feelings. I hope that makes sense and I hope it helps. :)

Yes, it's absolutely normal and natural, if not one of the most natural things in the world. This is because for us, humans, it is much more difficult to feel happy, calm, confident, loved, satisfied and content, than it is to feel sad, depressed, lonely, unsatisfied and unfulfilled. This is because all these strong emotions of sadness and suffering produce strong chemicals in our brain that our brain eventually becomes addicted to! Like drugs, substances linked to sadness and suffering are highly addictive! Yes, the human brain is addicted to suffering, loves to suffer, and will do absolutely anything to get you to feel that way again! Negative thinking, reminiscing about past times, listening to sad songs. Have you ever felt that feeling happy and calm, or meditating and listening to happy music really takes out all your energy? It's because your brain is fighting you and wants you to be blue again! Practice positive thinking, positive affirmations, do things that make you HAPPY and invest time in self-growth and improvement. Don't let a simple muscle govern your life - realize your full potential and be who you were meant to be!

Yes, it is very normal to miss someone because we all have emotions. It’s okay to miss someone, everyone in this world miss people/things. You are a normal human being and you should never put yourself down. Make sure to think good thoughts and do meditation, try to have a different perception on thing and don’t think of this as a bad thing. If you miss someone this is just showing how you felt about someone and maybe you should talk to them or try to understand why you miss them. This is a very normal thing and don’t put yourself down.

I would say it is very normal as we have evolved to become social creatures. We have a yearning to miss someone as in terms of evolution its those that stuck together that managed to survive. This is why ostracism was such a powerful tool back way back when, because those around you were all you had. It's important that we miss people otherwise we can become isolated and bitter. We will always need someone around us to help our souls shine that little bit brighter. I would suggest that missing the idea of missing someone is a yearning for you to connect with someone. I imagine the feeling will be assuaged once this yearning has been met.

I think it is normal. Especially after two of my long relationships during an empty time, I found myself longing for a little love story and having the excitement of having someone to miss. I believe one way of stopping it could be to spend time with friends or channel that energy to other things you could, whether a hobby or something else. For me it happens, when I have dated back to back and I have left no room in between for myself to heal. In my experience, devoting some time to myself helped me get that feeling off my chest and wait for something to happen organically.

I do miss people and although I do have their image in my mind, their energy in my heart I do still miss the possibility to talk to them, to see them, share some meaningful time together. I do not like technology and zoom meetings are not the same as when we see someone in person. Do we want to stop missing someone who is important to us, or was important to us? As long as we can function and do our duties and work throughout the day it is ok also to miss meaningful people in our lives that we want to be with and share the time and space with. I think that it is a great honor to have people that were or are in our lives and that we do miss them when they are not with us.

It is normal to feel the loss of an emotion that was once prominent in your life. However, losing that emotion is an indication that you are truly moving on from the pain or loss of losing someone close to you. It is signs that you are growing stronger and more independent. When we lose negative emotions we open up room in out life to feel the positive emotions. Let it drive you to achieve the goals that you have been putting of in your sadness. Let the freedom inspire you to fulfill your full potential and become the best version of you.

Yes its normal to have the feeling of missing someone. To move out of it we have to do self talk- Can I live with the beautiful memories and move in life. Do something which you are passionate, engage yourself in learning something new which keeps you driving. Try to make new friends. If you are still stuck then consult a professional like a Counselor/ coach. Well in this process do keep checking with your thoughts and emotions. At times we can write about the person we are missing.All the above will help us to move on in life and at the same time not get drowned in it.

of course, it is perfectly normal to feel this way especially after you had lost someone who you had a very deep and emotional bond with. Even though this may be hard, these emotions are most certainly manageable. There are many ways to stop these feelings. The most important thing to remember is that this feeling will not last forever. This feeling is only temporary and it is essential to get this off your chest with someone you trust and/or look up to. Also when feeling down, it is good to do something else constructive to help get your mind off things

I believe it is normal and is also the step to moving forward. It is not always easy though. Long ago I had a massive dispute with my best friend so we separated and went our own ways. At the time it was very difficult because the part of me wanted to keep feeling that same loss all over again. It got better after some time. IT took me a while to understand the situation in order to start healing and moving forward. It was quite an experience and I am grateful I got to experience it. The experiences that we go through in life are what shape us.
