How to get over your first love
How to get over your first love - Getting over a break up is hard;
however, getting over the first break up is definitely the hardest. The
reason it's so much harder than all the other breakups is because it's
our first love. So it's not just any old regular break up for us, it's a
break up with the person who first taught us what it means to love.
You probably spent most of your time together and now you have a
difficult time picturing what your life's going to be like without them.
In fact, just the thought of losing them is terrifying. You might have a
hard time believing that you'll ever be happy again. But if you follow
the 3 tips below, I guarantee that you'll be able to get over your first
love and move on with your life.
1. Do not talk to your ex for the next month
You can't truly get over them if you guys are still friends. You have to
cut all contact with each other while you attempt to get over it and
move on. I know that it's hard, it feels you're suddenly losing your
best friend. However, this is the first step that you absolutely MUST
take if you want to get over your ex.
2. Make an effort to grow and become a better person.
A relationship is not a mistake if you're able to learn something from
the experience. Think about what happened and see what you can learn
from it. This is an opportunity for you to see things from a new
perspective and change for the better. Remember that the more you learn
and grow, the more satisfying your future relationships will be.
3. Don't be scared of opening yourself up to love
Just because your first relationship didn't work doesn't mean that all
your future relationships are going to fail too. Keep in mind that every
person you're going to meet is going to be different. Therefore, every
relationship will play out differently too. Don't project your past into
the future and assume that things are going to go bad. I know it may
feel like you're doing it to protect yourself from getting hurt; but in
reality, you're only hurting yourself. Let go of any negative reactions
you had from your relationship and put them in the past. Make a choice
to be optimistic about the future. Open yourself up to love.
