How do you get your mind off someone you miss intensely?

The only thing you can really do is feel your feelings. 🤗

Go out and do things with friends.
Think of a hobby.
Keep yourself busy.

I lost my best friend a little over a year ago, like yourself, I've tried diversion but only tincture of time really helps.

I wish i knew, its been 3 and a half years since we were friends, i ruined it.

The pain will fade in the long term. In the short term try to see the pain as an energy. It's an energy that's at your disposal. Use it to exercise and get in great shape. Or use it to write some poetry or write some great music. Use it to advocate for your beliefs. The energy from your pain belongs to you.

I wish I knew. :(

Keep yourself somewhat busy, and in time, your mind will be less frantic about it. Especially if you find an activity that really attracts your interest :)

New activities. Time. New inspiration.

How much these will work depends on how much you miss them or what you miss about them.

I try and think of something else. Im just happy that it goes away now.

No. It took me 5-years to stop missing the man I fell in love with on EP. He was my first thought in the morning, thought about him during the day, and last thing at night. I thought I’d never get him out of my mind and heart, but 5 years of sweet torture did the trick. Hopefully, it won’t take that long for you. 🥀

Remember something you hate about them

Bang your big toe with a hammer

I wish I had a better way to deal with it too.

Exercise, and trying to flirt with others, which in its own right can be hard to do.

I’m beginning to think that we may just need to get with someone for sex a couple times and continue working hard at the gym and swing for the fences. Meaning just talk to every cute boy or girl you meet. Idk

I had that problem in college when my girlfriend was at another university. I know studying calculus, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics doesn't work. It was only when I was playing football or baseball that I could get her off my mind for a little while.

Time

Keep a love diary , jot your feelings down. Listen to love songs enables reminisce.

Lolz this may all sound counter productive , but for me it actually works 🙂

If you like to spend time indoor: take an online course.

Or join a local hiking group, or local hobbies groups. There's a lot of that stuff out there.

It will ease off with time. By 30 days you're feeling better typically. Just keep refocusing your mind on anything. It's a sucky feeling.

By working too much, excessive hours at work, just to try to get rid of those feelings

You need to get busy doing something outside, maybe with people?

The gym does it for me

Write a list of things that they did that were shitty then you won't miss them so much

Get out with friends. It’s the best medicine

It all depends on what caused the separation.

Venture out and discover more of yourself.

Give it many months, maybe 8 at least

I just play video games.

I build stuff. It takes all my concentration. Because I've never took wood shop in school when I was a kid
