It's been 8 years and I can't get over my ex, what's wrong with me ?

Your ex is your ex for a reason. Whatever that reason may be know that you have given your 110% and that you do not have to live with the what ifs. Forgive yourself and move forward. Know that greater things are waiting for you to allow you to let them in.

There is nothing wrong with you. In our life time we are destined to meet people that have a profound impact on us in every way. We allow them to take so much of us and we revolve around them, they become our world. When they leave we are forced from their orbit and we become lost, missing their gravity. Nonetheless, we must remember that they aren't our world, we are our own world and we allowed them to share and partake of us. We must love our self and learn to let go enough to heal. It's okay to float amid the stars without their gravity, just be you and accept. The acceptance maybe the most painful but it is the beginning and not the end.

The answer is: there's nothing wrong with you. Everyone progresses differently, everyone is unique in their coping and everyone is special in how they can move on from certain things. Just because you may be slower than others does not mean you have "something wrong" with you. In fact, there are most likely going to be a lot of other people who also are in the same boat as you. Now, how to move on from an ex is different for everyone. The only thing you can do is try your best to take care of yourself, stay in a positive mental space, and find the love that you absolutely deserve and are worthy of.

You might not have got your closure. Ask for closure and focus more on yourself. Your feelings are too strong to fade, so if that relationship was not toxic and that person was good. Try again if you want to. Try to be friends first. If it was toxic, don't go back and focus on your growth. You are more important for yourself than anybody else. Be selfish this time and look after yourself and not think about others. It's hard to get over someone. Be patient. Find out what's best for you and do that. You are going to be amazing!

I've spoken with others who have been in your situation. I believe that we all have a profound need to believe in others, even those who have done us grave harm. Many individuals I know complain about society's "door bang"... However, it seems to me that even in these situations, their minds would stray and imagine some ridiculous obstacle course of goals they might accomplish to regain their good graces. Of course, some people always overlook the most apparent roadblock: the  lack of regard for your ex. "Time heals all wounds," However, the length of time might range from years to decades. This renunciation has to come from the inside. It's something you have to recognize by looking at how you've been handled (which isn't something we're naturally good at). Concentrate on "the one" rather than "the next one." Concentrate on the aspects of your life that make you feel safe and joyful. You won't have time to ponder previous fires after you've done that. Others will be drawn to your joy. Someone who admires and appreciates the person you've evolved into.
