Hmmm… I am making my own tips for brokenhearted people out there. I, too was once like you, brokenhearted, and it was really painful. I had blogged about it before but now, I just smiled whenever I see it or had read it again. I am so sensitive and I easily get hurt so, the break-up was really hard for me back then. But now, I would just smile, looking back at what foolishness I have done just to make the relationship work. And so, here are my own tips for you to forget and for you to get over with that person.
STOP and AVOID seeing him/her. Don’t go to places where you two were hanging out before (it would just add up to the pain you are feeling, trust me). Unless you’re really really over him/her.
Stop sending an sms/text message or even call him/her, Unless you’re pretty over him/her.
STOP looking at his/her Friendster, Facebook, Myspace or whatever social networking sites you both have, if possible delete him/her in your friends list (lol). For me, I did deleted our friendster account.
Meet new people, new friends and go on an outdoor activities or any social gatherings. But don’t go out on a date yet or be in a relationship (lol).
Find a new inspiration, a new hobby perhaps.
Learn a new sport, Martial arts maybe? Or learn a new language… hehehe…
GET BUSY on your work or find something that would keep you busy if you don’t have a job, that way, you wouldn’t have time to think of him/her or those happy moments that you’ve been through.
Pamper yourself, don’t imprison yourself on those four wall room of yours, make yourself beautiful or pleasant so he/she wouldn’t think that you’re too much affected.
Stop seeing yourself as a loser, just because he/she left you for some other girl/guy doesn’t mean you are one. Stand up and prove to him/her that he/she is wrong.
Try to see his/her faults, be mad at him/her (lol, that was what I was doing and it kind of work out, for me).
Lastly, PRAY… It’s the best thing that you could do…But don’t pray that you two would get back ha, lol.
Hhhmm… that’s it… Those are some of the things that I have done and it’s up to you if you’ll apply it too. It works well for me though. I guess you have also heard almost all of those tips I have listed above, so it’s really up to you now… If you really want to be free from that person…
UPDATE:
Here are some tips that Miss Janette Toral have added up:
1. At some point, you just have to give up trying to make it work.
2. There will be situations where there will be no closure or simply an unfair ending. Accept it.
3. Don’t make someone fall in love with you unless certain that you really want to have a relationship. There are people who don’t fall in love easily and therefore don’t give up easily either once they are in.
I think a lot of brokenhearted ones try to escape the grieving part or deal with it later hoping for the best. But I see your point that one has to face it and proceed to grieving phase until it is healed. I guess the more you delay, the more you make it harder / longer to recover. Being able to find an inspiration (whether a person or in whatever form), can help lighten the recovery phase a bit. – Jannette Toral.
There will always be a person who’ll be better than the previous relationship, it’s not end of the world, who knows that somebody might be somewhere there near.
