It's normal to feel those emotions considering that you've established a relationship with them. They say that you don't really miss the person, but you miss the memories you've had with that person. It's hard but acknowledge the feeling and redirect your thoughts by doing things that YOU love.

It's totally normal! From my experience, the best way to stop that is to go deeply into that feeling, care for it. Then.. care for yourself ;)

Yes, missing someone makes you feel closer to someone even when they are not there. So, it is normal. To make it stop you will need to just give it some time.

Of course! Missing people is a natural human response wether they’re gone for a day or forever. Don’t feel bad if you miss someone. Although getting over it is different for everyone, I like to write down my feelings (sort of like a jounal), listen to music, and go on walks. Best of luck!

It is completely Normal and acceptable to have feelings for someone and to also miss them dearly! We are human beings who derive off of intercultural communicational techniques of empathy and interaction and when someone important in our lives is no longer apparent well then it’s painful to go through but ITS OKAY TO FEEL THOSE FEELINGS! The BEST possible way to stop feeling those feelings is by not avoiding them because burying them will regurgitate them out later when you would least appreciate it, but by facing yourself and being completely honest and open with YOURSELF and have that inner dialogue that really speaks about how you’re thinking and feeling about this person and work through your feelings. When you do this you start allowing yourself to heal because you are facing the issue and then you address why they aren’t in your life anymore and why they don’t need to be and if they were good in your life then address that too and include the positive impact that they had on you and why they are no longer needed to be in your life anymore. Understand not everyone is meant to stay but it’s okay to be upset about it 💜

It's normal that you dedicated a part of your life to this person and now they are strangers. So it is normal to feel the lack of this person, the first step to get out of this situation and accept and follow with your life ahead, I know that difficult but over time is improving.
Go out with your friends, meet new people, keep your time filled and your mind. Think of all the things you want to do and do (of course they have to be within the law).
And after a while you'll start to feel better.
It's a difficult road but step by step you'll get it.

What is “normal†to one may be different for someone else. What is normal anyways?? 🤔 I think what is important is to be kind to yourself, gentle, forgiving + compassionate. I also think it’s important when any emotion or feeling arises, is to ride the wave. By this I mean notice and acknowledge it rather than try to suppress it and get rid of it. Fighting emotions delays the acceptance of them-riding the wave is about allowing your emotions to be with you without acting ineffectively. Similar to a tidal wave coming and going, you will get back to a place of calm rather than emotional turmoil-accepting painful emotions allows for freedom from suffering. You can’t stop the waves but you can learn how to surf â¤ï¸â¤ï¸

I think it is because when you are having feelings of missing someone you are, in my opinion, allowing yourself to feel those emotions. I think that when we start to decrease the amount of time we spend thinking of someone we are acknowledging that this person meant something to you and you might feel guilt because of not spending time missing them. Over time these continual thoughts begin to decrease which could vary! For me, I went with my emotions, dealing with each as they occurred and did not rush these emotions because I needed to heal as well.

yes, it is completely normal to miss the feeling of missing somebody. missing a person can take up a lot of your time and effort, and when you eventually no longer miss them, it can be a strange feeling of nothingness.
you aren’t alone, many people miss others- whether it’s from a death or a breakup, or any other reason- missing people is normal.
it is also normal to move on from this. it can be difficult but everybody will get there eventually.
to stop feeling like this, try to distract yourself from those thoughts. begin a new hobby, such as drawing or photography. spend time with the people you enjoy being around or start a new series on netflix to distract yourself from these thoughts.

It is normal to have the feeling of miss someone that was there in your lifetime at one point or another. Either way, you can stop it once you focus on the good things and moments that you did experience and cherish. Rather than focusing on the what-ifs that go on in the present. Also, you can focus on people who ARE there for you in your own lifetime. Then, you will be distracted from the past and will be able to dwell on the people who are not there because you are making more bounds with those people around you.
