Everything that works in getting over someone, and what doesn’t
I’ve tried lots of random hacks and this works
So something is over, blech. We’ve all been there. A situationship where you caught feelings for an idiot, a partner turned out to be a sociopath, or maybe you just got ditched for being way too into early Mesopotamian literature. It happens to the best of us. Anyway. You need to move on! There is life after Person A. Here’s what works (and what doesn’t).
- Accept that you’re going to slip up.
If you read nothing else on this list, this is the one. If you’ve spoken every day for six months, yeah, you’re going to struggle to accept zero contact! That’s okay and not something to beat yourself up over. Instead of getting upset with yourself, be kind. What made you text them? What were you hoping for? What do you need to do to stop it happening again?
2. Make things easier for yourself.
If you can, block them. That way you won’t be checking your phone and feeling sad. Not ready for that? Delete their number. It’ll make it harder when you desperately want to tell them about your new friend at work and realise that’s a bad idea ten minutes later. I honestly feel so much better having done this.
