When a relationship ends, especially if you're not the one
who ended it, how to get over someone becomes very important. It’s not always easy to get over a person
you’ve been with, though. If you’ve been
with that person for a very long time it’s even harder. It might be pretty easy
to get over a relationship that’s lasted 3 months. But if you've been with someone for 3 years,
it's hard to get over that person at all, let alone get over them quickly. Fortunately, there are some things you can do
to speed up the process.
When you're wondering how to get over someone, sit in a
chair in your living room or bedroom, wherever there’s a very strong sense of
the other person. Remove anything that
reminds you of that person a great deal.
This isn't always easy to do, but every little bit helps. If you've bought a dog together, for
instance, of course you won’t want to get rid of the dog. But anything your ex bought for you that’s on
display like a knick-knack or something hanging on the wall would be a good thing
to remove for a while.
If you have lots of things that will remind you of your ex,
you're probably wondering how to get over someone without making your rooms
completely bare. But even if you picked out practically everything together,
you don’t have to remove everything to make this work. Just choose items that
have particularly strong memories.
Maybe you picked out the couch together, but it's one of the
throw pillows that you bought or the figurine on the end table he or she gave
you as a gift that seems to make you feel sad when you look at it. Remove those items and store them for a
while, just to make things easier on you.
If you’re having a really hard time and feel that you can
handle it, you can think of all your ex’s bad qualities. Of all the methods of how to get over
someone, this is the one where you actually think of your ex the most, so if
just the very thought of them brings you to tears you might not be ready for
this step. Think of the things you disliked the most about them. If you can’t thing of anything, just move
on. But most of us can come up with a
long list of things we dislike about someone, especially if they were the ones
to end the relationship.
A popular method of how to get over someone is to simply
start dating again. Many people balk at
this idea—they think they still love the ex and aren’t ready. You can do this even if you’re still in love
with your ex. No one says you have to fall in love anytime soon. But dating or even going out with friends
isn’t just how to get over someone, it’s how to keep from feeling sorry for
yourself while you try.
