I can't get over my first love. What should I do?

Sometimes it helps to meek in mind that there are different people for each of us, for different phases of our lives. Your first love is significant and a relationship you will cherish always, but also a part of your journey. Sometimes time is the only healer of the initial heartbreak from this kind of loss, but I would recommend not focusing on "getting over" your first love, but instead finding a shelf in your heart to store that part of your journey so you can use it for self-reflection as time goes by.

You will never forget your first love. But all I can say is it takes time. Try meeting someone new and just hanging out with friends. Something to get your mind off them. It won't be easy but when the time comes you'll be over them.

You are full of passion.. and that's a wonderful form of energy, I would suggest you try to put this energy into some other use.. maybe help someone in real life, make yourself available for help on 7 cups, make yourself busy with learning something new(an instrument, a language, or some life skill like swimming), My idea is you can do whatever you want to with this energy, dont waste it by crying over a person who left you and to whom you mean nothing.. he does not deserve your tears!!

You won't and never should... In time you'll understand why that's so. Just be happy for them and move forward with your own life.

First loves are rarely forgotten, precisely because they are our first--when we were with them, we were unscarred, and so we thought that we are unbreakable and that because we are loving and loved at the same time, we can endure anything. Unfortunately, most of the time that's not true, and so we experience our first heartbreak. We get our first scar. Most of the time, we don't ever truly get over it. I know for myself that I haven't really gotten over my first love, but that doesn't mean that I am not moving forward. I guess what you can do is acknowledge how important your first love was/is in your life and in who you are today, because for me, that's something you can't change. But you can move forward with it. Maybe you don't really have to move on and get over in order to move forward. Take it with you and move forward. :)

Your first love will always be hard to forget, but always remember on the good things and the mistakes and learn from them. Remember why you guys broke it off in the first place and why you should move on.

Time is your best friend right now, so let time do it's thing and you find a passion whatever that may be. You're probably comparing all the guys you meet to him right now (if he was great) but you will find someone so much better! I promise you

Find your friends and find yourself. Go on adventures and try new things. Time heals all, so fill your time with fun things. Eventually you will start to like someone else, I promise

I know it's hard to get over your first love but one day you will wake up and the pain will have gone. It just takes time and if you have good friends I'm sure you will it through

Life can be a long beautiful journey :)....often times our first love impacts us as much as it does because it is our initial introduction to that beautiful feeling of love and caring with a significant other. Coming off a relationship with a first, it is important to try our best to focus on ourselves and keep growing as an individual. That can be focusing on our responsibilities or focusing on our passions and hobbies. When we focus our energies on treating ourselves well and with compassion, it often makes it easier for use to be at ease with some difficult feelings. Staying true to ourselves and pursuing our own personal happiness as best we can, will always be a healthy pathway to all sorts of healing :)

First love is the imprint in our hearts that will always be remembered. In time you will move on and you will love again, you will never forget but it will be easier.

First loves are often hard to get over because they are your first everything. They teach you what love really is, make you happy, and you feel like you're living a real fairy tale. The thing is, if you found that in a person before then you can find it again in someone else. It will just take time. And you have to be willing to put in the time to get over someone and find someone new.

first loves are always hard to get over because you will always have a soft spot for them , but dont worry this is completely natural, everyone feels this way, just carry on with life and you'll soon find yourself not thinking about them, i hope this helps.

You cant get over your first love? Give it time. Times the healer of a broken heart. Do other things to keep your mind off it.

I'm also still in the same boat in a way. I did finally move on after almost a year but it crosses my mind here and there. It took time for me to let go of the issue and then I took time to make sure I got myself back to normal. Eventually someone has came into my life and reminds me of him so much but its different as well. although I may not know how you are feeling totally but I know the experience and its not fun. youll be okay though...it just takes time!

Love again.. either fall in love or make someone fall in love.. Either ways the victory is yours...

Understand that these things take time. You're not going to get over your first love overnight, so there's an element of this that's simply out of your control. However, you can also do some self-reflection; why did the relationship not work out? There must've been some reason, given that it ended. Remind yourself of that. Perhaps he/she just wasn't right for you. Perhaps you weren't right for them. Perhaps the timing wasn't right, or other circumstances were at play. Take these sorts of things under consideration when reflecting upon what happened. Through reflection comes understanding, and through understanding: peace.

first love never forget because it was the first and it is not bad, should now allow to be loved by someone else, let it happen

Cut all contacts with your first love. Find a new activity, hang out with friends, and or travel to new places.

It is not important to get your first love. The most important thing is to get your true love,you will meet your love someday.
