How can you tell that you have really moved on?

you can tell that you really moved on when.. you feel light when you got to see your ex, when you are happy for him and his life without you, when you are happy without that person at your side, when you can smile, a genuine one around that person, when you can talk about that person without breaking down, when you are happy if you saw that person having a new one, and when you really are happy being alone and just living your life on its best that you can have and you can live without him by your side.

During relationships of any kind we can somewhat get attached to someone. It then becomes difficult to know whether we are ever going to move on. At first it may hurt and that’s normal. But after if it still hurts it doesn’t mean you haven’t moved on. Depending on the situation, thinking about it may always make you upset or feel a certain way. You know you moved on when you are able to love someone else as much as that person. If you think of love and their name comes to your head first you haven’t moved on. Also if you still care about them being with someone else or you care about who they talk to then you haven’t moved on. By moving on you fully are able to say, I wish the best for you but I don’t need you anymore.

when looking back no longer interest you. When the thoughts of the person or situation no longer in your mind. Basically, when you are in a comfortable space with positive energy doing whats best for you. Doing these things brings on good and positive energy and keeping the same energy of people around you brings good vibes to your spirit and life which is living. Now everyone might not be happy for you. But your happiness is all that's important do always what is best for you. Even if no one is standing with you. God is always with you.

I know that I have moved on when 1) Mention of his/her name doesn’t effect me. 2) I don’t avoid seeing or hearing about that person. 3) I am not interested in knowing how that person is doing or done recently. 4) When someone asked me about him/her, I don’t feel uncomfortable and give decent answer. 5) I am not interested in knowing what he/she is saying or has said about me. 6) Not comparing that person with new people in my life. 7) I am able to live my life without any interruption. 8) I am not feeling hurt or anger. 9) I am in touch with my friends and family.

Personally if I can look at my ex and genuinely wish them happiness in their relationships and endeavors ,without feeling sadness and/ or animosoty because I won't be a part of their journey, I know that chapter is finally closed and I can finally move on. It's a big step in stone that I feel one must go through in order to give your full potential to whatever your next task or relationship may be. Easier said than done, I feel it is essential to go through that process before starting anything new. It may take a while but I'd only hurt myself and others if I move on without closing the previous chapter

1. When you hear his/her name, you don't feel guilty or sad. You feel normal. 2. You don't cling onto your memories. But you cling onto life experiences when you spent your life with them. 3. You feel like you're doing great, even though you're alone. 4. You can love yourself more. Because when you moved on, you have time to repent your flaws and get better. 5. You don't feel like coping yourself inside your room or crying over something. Instead, you want to go outside and help many people, or meet friends. And moved one is all about finding your real self back. It's not always bad. It's actually a me-time that you've been asking for.

I don't think we ever fully move on from losses and pain, so anytime something could trigger an emotional response. However, I think that there comes a milestone you hit eventually that works as a statement of your healing process. It's usually when you're capable of maybe not be /okay/ with what happened but be able to look back without absolute fear and sadness. You've "moved on" when you don't feel weighted down by your past, when you are able to create new meaning to your life and find happiness and joy in things that used to mildly trigger you back in the day.

How you can tell that you have really moved on is to liken the situation or circumstances to a scar on your skin. A scar reminds us that there was an incident/accident that cause the wound to appear. As time goes on we nurse the wound until it begins to heal. As the wound heals it turns into a scar. Most scars do not hurt unless you continue to re-injure it and turn it back into a wound. So how can you tell you’ve moved on? You are aware that situations and circumstances happened in the past (because you see the scar) but they no longer cause you an emotional energy (hurt, pain, agony, etc...).

I believe that you can tell that you really moved on from something when you start to feel yourself healing. When a new door opens, and something or someone starts to get your broke heart beating. That's when you know you're healing and moving on. If you arent feeling this yet, just know that it takes time, and the healing doesn't happen overnight, but you will know that it has happened when your happiness is starting to restore itself.

Most of the time its a feeling of weight lifted off of your shoulders. You may not think about it hardly if not at all. Your mind is not clouded by thought of that which has been a problem or a burden. You feel good inside about a decision made, you don't doubt yourself as you would have if the problem or situation still exist. You may be able to talk about what you could not before, and you may be able to help others along the way because of your experience. There is no guilt no burden, just peace of mind. You are now ready to let go and move on.

When you can think about it and your heart doesn't hurt and you stomach doesn't sink. When the thought of being with someone new doesn't make you feel guilty or dirty. When you can imagine your future, and feel positive about it, without including them in it. When you can think about making plans for your weekend and you don't wish you could invite them. When you think about falling asleep at night, alone, and it doesn't feel scary or lonely. When you can sit in a place they would've sat with you, and do something you would do together, and feel peaceful.

In my experience, i can tell if i have really moved on when: I'm able to think about something without letting the memories of that specific thing bother me. This can only be achieved if you have made peace with the past, hence i think this is the best description of how you could tell you have really moved on. Everyone goes about their business differently, so to this question will not be one definitive answer, that's why i base this answer off of my own experience. Moving on isn't the easiest thing to do, especially if you have a lot of history with said thing or person. Talking about it helps you move on.

You can tell that you have really moved on if you don't think of that person anymore, you are happy with where you're at in life, and you are getting out in the world, seeking new adventures and people!

I feel that you can tell that you have really moved on when you realize that there were gifts in the situation that took place in your past and it has made you a better person. Sure, we all have regrets and there are situations that we wish we could go back in time in and change, but I believe that everything in life ebbs and flows and we must learn to embrace who we are and how far we have come. If it's a person that we were trying to move on from, it's when you wish the best for them and understand that what happened was for the best.

"Moving on" is very much a state of mind and a reflection of the emotional recovery that have made / are making. Ultimately, it comes down to the investment you made in your, the emotional and physical affect of the separation, as well as the investment that you have made in processing. This is a question to which everyone will answer differently but most of the answers will be ostensibly saying the same thing: when you do not experience anxiety when you think about or see your ex. Assuming that this is a "normal" relationship without children, domestic issues, or any additional issues that would otherwise complicate the separation, it is something that you will know and feel when it happens. If you approach the separation logically; suss out what you can to understand the reasons behind the separation, particularly after talking to your ex; and taken the time process, it will become clear. There is never a one-size fits all answer to questions like this, but if you can function normally without irrational, illogical or illogically protracted, and/or moot thoughts, that is a good start. It also underscores the point that the onus is on you to put in the work to heal and "move on"; if you play an active role in reclaiming your identity without your ex / getting over the separation, you will be on your way to better understanding the break up, yourself / what you want, and when you have "moved on".

I think you can tell when you can talk about and see that person without feeling something or missing them. I also think that you know you've moved on when you aren't thinking about them constantly and you can complete a sentence without talking about them or mentioning something they did depend on the situation. It's hard to move on but you'll realize that you've completely moved on when you notice that when you normally think or talk about the person, you didn't this time. For example: If you lay in bed and think about this person every night, yet you broke up or separated and you didn't think about them night and it continues. That's a good sign.

you will know if you have really moved on when you can be happy with all those crazy moments and ridiculous things you did together. you have moved on if you can be genuinely happy for his or her new relationship and don't feel the slightest pinch on your heart. you have moved on when you are able to do a lot of things without thinking of how it would have been if you're still together. you have moved on if you know deep in your heart you still love him or her yet you choose to set him or her free.

you know that you’ve moved on from a relationship when they aren’t in your thoughts as much anymore. yes, you will think of them from time to time, because you made memories together and spent time in each other’s company, but you won’t long for them anymore. if we are talking about relationships, you may start to look to have more relationships, whether that’s sexually or just friendships. you may have relationships whilst you still have feeling for them, but in your heart you truly know when you have and haven’t moved on. you know you have moved on if you look at a picture of you together and not feel as if you miss them and want them back.

It is difficult to know when you have really moved on - it could be from a break up, a redundancy at work... I learnt a few things from a NLP module. I close my eyes and imagine the situation as if it were happening to me now... see what I saw, hear what I heard, feel what I felt as if it were happening to me right now. At some point, these images/voices/feelings start to fade away. They grow smaller, fainter, seem farther... and you don't feel like that incident happened to you. It is more like you are an observer watching it from the outside. Then I would say I have moved on...

Moving on isn't forgetting someone. It's forgiving them. It's forgiving yourself. When you don't hate or love them anymore. When you don't imagine conversations in your head about bumping in to them or trying to contact them or asking about them via friends or Facebook. Being moved on is a subconscious feeling of calm. One might doubt being moved on or feel guilty about it. But once completely moved on, you won't doubt or be guilty, but get peace from your own thoughts about them and situations involving them. You can still remember the good or bad times with them but after moving on you'll not try to get back with them or think how you could have been together.

"Moving on" is a process. It's not that one day you'll never think of it or remember it ever again. But it gets easier with time and distance. It happens less often. You find it easier to stop thinking about it and go on with your day. The bad feelings don't last as long. And some days it will still be as raw as the first time it hurt. Some days you won't be able to believe it can still hurt this bad. But these days will be less frequent, and you will have new things to distract you and make you feel good. There isn't any time you can say "right now at this moment, I've moved on". But you will be able to look back afterwards and say "I'm doing better than I was back then".

I think it's when your emotions are no longer affected by that person and you can talk about him/her normally. You don't feel like texting that person anymore and stopped feeling sad about him/her anymore. You stopped thinking about the past memories that you had with each other and began to realize that he/she might not be as perfect as you thought, and perhaps you could actually reflect on your relationship and learn something from it. I think it is not that you completely forget about that person, but still remember the moments that you have with each other and knowing that he/she has been in part of your life and made you happy.

It depends on the situation. If you have lost a person due to them passing away. I know I have moved on when I already accepted what is my new normal and my new reality and realize that said person would never want me to feel sadness and grief to such an extended period of time but that does not mean I would forget them in any sort of way. When it comes to losing someone because of a break up, I've known I have moved on when I have accepted that everything is just a memory now and it's something I can learn from and remember once in a while and feel like I once again can feel that I loved my self more.

Moving on from someone, or a situation that has happened takes time. First you need to look at the steps and see if you have done them. The steps are, understanding how the situation happened, why it happened and the last step is to accept what has happened. When you have followed those steps, comes the real moving on process, where you start to feel okay with what happened. Only when you feel okay with a situation, or a person then you have truly moved on. You will not feel the same heartache anymore, nor feel any negative emotions, but rather be somewhat happy and okay with the past because it has shaped you into the version that you are today.

When you don't think about that specific person anymore or not constantly, when you are hanging out with your mutual friends and it doesn't feel awkward. You've reflected on the relationship and understand it is over now, you are willing to accept that and continue on. Also that you are most positive then you were during the breakup period, most importantly, you aren't planning to get back together with your ex. You're not checking their latest posts on instagram, checking their facebook status, or secretly following them on twitter. Overall, when you are the person you are without him or her, when deep down you feel you have inner peace with yourself.

If I don’t think about the person and try not to get in touch with them. I don’t get attached. I’m fine. I just like helping people by talking to them as much as I can. It’s the least I can do. I try to make them comfortable but that doesn’t meant that I’m attached it just means that I care and I try to care as much as I can it’s what makes me me. I’m trying hard to help people and that makes me feel great and makes me feel important. This is a great platform and I love it

It can feel important for people to delineate when they have moved on from an aspect of their past. At the same time, though, it can be difficult for a person to tell when they have truly closed the book on a chapter of their lives. Perhaps one way a person can assess whether they have really moved on, is to take inventory of how often that aspect of their past crosses their mind in day-to-day life. For instance, if I'm trying to move on from a breakup in a relationship, I might ask myself, "how often does [name of ex] cross my mind?" I might even assess how disruptive it is to my day when I am reminded of that person, or reminded of the breakup itself. The more often you think of that aspect of your past, and the more affected or disrupted you are by the memory or recurrence of that past aspect, the less likely it is that you have truly moved on. Conversely, if you find you do not often think of that aspect of your past, or find it does not cause you distress or discomfort, the more likely it is that you have put it behind you.

Knowing you have moved on is challenging. The life events that we find jarring or traumatic are usually really jarring and traumatic. It takes time for scabs to form and for the wound underneath to heal. How I have found that I have moved on from traumatic or difficult times is that I have the same empathy for the person that I would for anyone. About 10 years after a difficult friendship disaster, the other person reached out to me with a question about getting help for her autistic son. What I felt for her was the same that I would feel for any mother who was trying to do the best for her child. I didn't feel moved as though this was my sister reaching out to me (the ex-friend and I will never be there) but I didn't feel malice or resentment. I felt what I would if a casual acquaintance had asked me. I had moved on. How do you know you moved on? With respect to relationships, maybe you are able to treat the other person with the basic care and empathy you would a stranger or casual friend.

When everything stopped reminding me of them. At first everything I did, saw, or heard would bring back a memory or just the thought of him. I would try to convince myself to get him out of my mind and to stop daydreaming about us. One day I heard a song we use to sing together and I didn't immediately associate it with him. After I realized it was our song, it reminded me of him. I realized I had stopped thinking about us and it felt a little sad, since that meant it was really over. It was also a relief because I moved I had moved on.

Moving on is a subjective topic, some people take a day to move on while others might take several years. But when you have finally moved on, you won't think about your ex in your idle time, you won't imagine yourself with them when a romantic song plays, your life will be more than just chasing that one person. When you feel you are now ready to date, not because you need to make another person jealous or get over them, but you need to find someone who deserves the gem you are, is when you know you have moved on and the feelings for that person are now dead and nothing can make you love him/her again. You might feel happy for their success or love them like a friend does but you won't ever want to be with them as a partner, that is when you know you have moved on.
