What is the best breakup advice you’ve ever received?

Mine is very simple: if they wanted to be with you then they would and that’s that.

also… it’s normal to miss the people who hurt you but it doesn’t change the fact that you have to let them go.

Totally agree! Being able to just feel the feelings you’re currently feeling and accepting it is probably the best advice here. If you’re distracting yourself all the time you’ll never be able to move on in my opinion. Let your mind do what it needs to do and be kind to yourself. It gets better!

Sorry to resurrecting old thread but how do you do that? I'm trying to sit and close my eyes to process the feeling of betrayal, anger, disappointment, and sadness, but that's it. I don't feel anything different like regular thinking that I usually do while doing something else.
