The first step is to quit obsessing over them. Quit stalking their social media. Throw away pictures, notes, or objects related to them. You don't need them in your life anymore. Keep yourself busy and try to not think about them as much. Also, do NOT resort to finding someone else to be with. You need to know that you do not need someone else in your life to be whole.

Try to remain friends with them, but distance yourself.
Don't be afraid to talk to new people.
I have gotten over my girlfriend by talking to other people - not as a romantic partner, but as a friend.
Gaining new friends helps to fill the whole of your ex partner.

In my personal opinion there is no single best way to get over a crush. With that said, I know it can be difficult to get over a crush, and I think you have several things you can try to see what works best for you. First of all, I would ask that you you consider perhaps being mindful to keep yourself involved with your friends and family that are supportive of you as you go through the process of getting over this crush. Also I would really recommend that you consider taking really good care of yourself, by practicing good self care and being extra nice to yourself, in ways that make you feel happy and positive about yourself, every single day that you can do so. If you find it helpful to you, you might also consider journaling, and/or expressing yourself through any creative outlet you enjoy. I also personally think that time will help with this, as, in my experience, when it comes to crushes, the feelings usually fade over time. Give it time, and be gentle with yourself, would be my personal thoughts on this.

The best way to get over a crush is to just let time wash the feelings away. Crushes are swift moments of infatuation. It may feel like you will never get over her/him, but eventually, if the feelings are not reciprocated, you will.

focus on school, life, friends, family. In my opinion it is good to have things you don't let the person you like or dating be the center of everything you do. Have things that you do by yourself or close friends. So when that relationship or crush does not work you have things you can do that do not make things think of that person.

Put your happiness as your priority. Work on being the person that anyone would admire. Motivate yourself to be better than whom you were yesterday. All that focus would easily boost your self-confidence and consequently make you get over a crush. Goodluck!

Realising that things dont always work out the way you'd hoped, and the next person you find will seem to be 100x better

For me personally the best way was to accept and understand the reason why something worth that person won't work out.
For example your crush already has a partner, your crush already has another crush or simply doesn't like you , right now you aren't able to maintain a relationship, etc
When you found the main reason you focus on that. That also helps with not getting your hops up, for example : no, the person is in a relationship and does not like me, I'm just interpreting things wrong.
For me it helps to avoid that person a little ( but don't completely distance me from them) to get them out of my mind.

The best way to get over a crush is accept your feelings, admit you have a crush, distancing yourselves, meet new people, and take care of yourself and focus on you. Try to find things that distract you. If you got turned down, try to not become bitter. Try focusing on things that make you happy and that you enjoy. Meeting new people also opens up new horizons.

Focus your attention on something else. Find something that you enjoy doing and do it often, it will distract you.
