How to Get Over Someone

Did the relationship with someone you thought you would share the rest of your life with just come to an end? Doesn’t it feel miserable as you are trying to figure out how to get over someone you have loved and broke your heart? Do you feel that he or she was the one – your soul mate – and you feel like you will never be able to find anything like that again? The worst case scenario is if your boyfriend or girlfriend left you and has already someone new because of whom you might have been dumped. It is a really devastating experience when it happens for the first time but thankfully there are ways to cure the wounds and find meaning for life again.

Getting over someone you have loved is not going to be something that happens over night like you would suddenly feel perfect again – it will take time and effort – but if you do things right, the process of healing your broken heart will be much easier and faster. When one door closes, another one opens, but we are often looking so desperately upon the closed door that we can’t see the one that has just opened for us. One thing that you should not do is to keep regretting upon what has happened because that will prevent you from moving on. Although your feelings are really bad, you should always remember that there are so many people in the world waiting for you and the end of the relationship is actually only the beginning of a new life. Cry if you need to cry and don’t keep everything inside you, but once you have cried enough, start looking for new activities that will take your thoughts away of the old things and will give something new and exciting to your life.

Don’t do the mistake of jumping right away to a new relationship just to cover your pains. This is the biggest mistake people make, because the reason for a relationship should never be bad feelings or insecurity. You should always try to recover first and learn to live and enjoy your life on your own before even thinking about a new relationship. Two persons should be together only because they want to even though they could be happy alone, too, not because they are insecure, wounded from the last breakup and can’t stand being alone.


Stop repeating to yourself that the person is your soul mate or that you are still in love and feeling miserable. Don’t tell yourself how wrong it is that the relationship ended or that you’ll never get over the person. If you get obsessed by these phrases all the time, they will become a self-fulfilling prophecy and you are actually locking yourself into those hurting feelings. Although the feelings are not going to change in one night, you will gradually start feeling better only after you evolve in how you are dealing with your feelings and stop letting them control you. Take a new perspective in your self-talk and focus on being thankful that you have this kind of person in your life. Appreciate all the good things about them and be honest about their shortcomings, remind yourself that they are not perfect, because no one is.

Two Reasons behind the Worst Feelings

1. You think that the person was the one. This is something I blame movies and society for. It is just wrong to make people believe that there is this one magical person for everyone and once the person leaves you, you feel like your life is over. This is simply not true. There are millions of people in the world and hundreds of suitable “soul mates” for everyone even in the same country you are living in, even though you would be the pickiest person in choosing a partner.

2. The relationship was based on neediness. People often seek relationships to fill their needs: They might feel lonely and insecure or feel like they are not normal if they are single because everyone else they know is in a relationship. In order to get over someone quickly you have to realize that you are a full person that can be happy and enjoy the life even without a relationship and that the reason why you will start another relationship is because you enjoy each others’ company – not because of insecurity.

Tips for Getting Over Someone You Love Fast

  1. Make sure that there is no chance of reconciliation and that the relationship really is over. Don’t allow any talks about just having a time-out and don’t let yourself fall into the on-off –relationship trap.
  2. Clean your life of your ex. Give your ex back all the stuff that’s left at your place and get back all your stuff from your ex’s apartment. If there’s something valuable that you want to save, store it away somewhere that you will not see it all the time. Box that kind of things up and put it in the closet or an attic – it doesn’t matter as long as it is out of your sight.
  3. Talk about it as much as possible. Don’t keep your feelings inside but instead talk about them with people that are close to you such as your family and closest friends. The more you talk about the feelings, the better you will start feeling.
  4. Have fun right away. Go abroad with your friends and have the best vacation you’ve ever had or buy something new that you have always wanted. You deserve it and you will show yourself that life has still many things to offer you even after the breakup.
  5. Get back to the normal life as soon as possible. You have probably more time now as a single person so use that time wisely. Keep yourself occupied and work, go to the gym, meet friends often etc. Don’t stay alone at home too much – that will only make you feel worse.
  6. Meet new people. After you have recovered enough, start getting new friends and dating new people. Remember not to start a relationship right away though if you are still feeling bad, but just enjoy meeting new people and seeing that there are lots of great things to look for in the world.

Remember that getting over someone you love is never easy but you will definitely meet someone new eventually and fall in love again like the last time. At some point your ex will be just a part of your past and you will wonder why you felt so bad at the time of the breakup, but you will also understand that it was a normal feeling that everyone feels sometimes and a crucial part of your life that makes you more grown up and mature and ready for all the great things that are waiting for you out there.

If you, however, still feel that you should get back together with your ex, that is of course possible. I think that the most comprehensive system with information that really works for getting your ex back is the Magic of Making Up (How to Get Your Ex Back). It is the only system I can really recommend if you want to know which exact steps you should take in order to make it all work again and want to know something that really works.
