Go to mexico, get a bottle of tequila and howl at the moon.

If it's a consolation, you'll soon hit another mine on this minefield...

There isn't a shortcut or fast track to getting over grief. In an effort to forget the person, there's a tendency to forget the lessons learned from the situation. I think the best way to move on from relationships that sour is to reflect. What went well? What didn't go well? And from there reevaluate what is important to us in the short term and long term. Sometimes people can forget who they are and allow a relationship to define them, but it can't be understated how important it is to know and love oneself. I wish you peace and positivity in your trying times

Lobotomy, jk

Do things that bring you happiness and have fun, meet up with your friends when you are ready and let lose. Break ups are hard ofc but dont become that way yourself, i know for me when i have had a rough end to a relationship i cared less about everything. Which is a good thing in a way but only for a short amount of time, dont stay that way is what i mean sorry. But you could try channeling that feeling into something creative like art or music to let go of it, i find that helps people a lot.

I hope you feel better soon OP and remember that as bad as things feel rn it wont and doesn't last forever <3

People are not going to like the real answer.

It starts long before the breakup.

One must be the best option for people out there. This is going to mean working on one's self. Just showing up isn't doing anyone any favors.

One must live in a happening large city where there are jobs and industry- enough to sustain a healthy population that can generate singles.

Then, one must cut thy screen time and actually get out there and work, shop, socialize, go out- and yes, this includes bars. Being an internet shut-in is death.

Then, upon socializing, one must be more of a player. A slut. Immediately everyone is going to argue with this. They all are going to say "No! I only do relationships!"

Alright, but this means repeating the mistake of making one person the whole world. They didn't get out and meet enough people- so one person then becomes IT- and often times it's someone who ain't great...

A hidden part of having a good pool of dating options, friends, family that are GOOD in your orbit is people will behave better. No one person is "The whole world" and yes, competition is very real.

And, to directly answer the question- the best thing to do after a breakup is to be arm-in-arm with someone even hotter.

Too bad for them. You had your chance. See ya!

Keep busy so there is less time to think of things you're wanting to forget.

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to move on after a breakup and honestly, it’s harder than I thought. I know time helps, but I’d love to hear what actually worked for you.

What did you do to stop thinking about them? Any tips or little tricks that really helped?

With an anime marathon.

Banged someone half her age.

Then laughed as she tried to do the same and ended up bankrupting herself being a sugar momma for a guy half her age and losing everything she had including her home.

So the answer is bang someone half their age and sit back and watch the show.

It is kind of hard for some of us to forget the first person you ever had sex with.

She crosses my mind every once in a very long time still. Hey, I wanted to marry her. Did you expect me to forget that part?

For the most part I have forgotten most of the rest of them ... which is a very short list. If you aren't being careful you can end up with a parting gift you wish you never had gotten.

Time.

Step 1: Do not consider (whoever broke with you) as the only individual able to love and understand you.

Step 2: Get yourself busy working out, reading books, etc for some time.

Repeat 2- until it becomes a trivial feeling.

Do evaluate what went well and what didn't went well, so you learn what to do and what not to do, in your next romantic relantionship. After you're beyond the grief period of the break up.

Good luck
