How to Get Over Someone You Obsess Over

Getting over someone you were obsessed over can be really hard. Here's an easy 4-step guide to help those who are in need of forgetting someone they used to obsess over.

[edit] Steps

  1. Ask yourself why you’re still holding on. Answer it truthfully, too. Maybe it’s, "Oh, well, we had such great times together", or, "I just find that person so great". Whatever it is, answer it.
  2. Ignore them. Now, I this is usually hard. However, you will get over it. Don't talk or even look at that person. It's hard to control your thoughts, of course, but when that someone pops up, acknowledge he/she's there. Trying to shoo the thought away makes it worse, but inviting it in isn't good either, so don't do anything about it. Let it hang there until it passes.
  3. Avenge yourself for their bad doing. This is not meant in the harsh physical way. It means you should do everything to show them you don't care anymore. Sometimes, this can simply be achieved by being your normal self. Stop trying to impress them if you did so in the past. Instead, start doing the things you want to do, such as wearing clothes you actually like, doing sports you love, listening to music you like, etc.
  4. Take your time. Forgetting takes time, don’t forget that. Getting over someone cannot easily be accomplished in 1 day. It can take as long as 3 years and sometimes even more. But when the time comes and you realize it's officially over, try to get to know someone else special too. Whether it's just a crush or a real relationship, it's nice to care about someone new and have a fresh start.


[edit] Tips

  • Hanging around friends and family can really help get your mind off things, and perhaps even help you. Try and socialize a lot.
