There are many reasons why it can be hard to forget someone who broke your heart.

You’re in love with an idealized version of the person. You want them to change because you don’t like how they act now, but they won’t change unless they want to change and are being given opportunities from which they can learn from their mistakes.

You feel like you have to be loyal to them no matter what happens. Or else there’s something wrong with you for not sticking around when things get tough or hard work needs doing (even though this is also dumb because loyalty isn’t supposed to mean staying together forever).

You feel like if you leave them then there will be nothing left for yourself anymore; however, if they left then there would still be plenty left over. Your friends would still love having coffee with them (or whatever), other people could come into their lives again later down the road when everything settles down again between now & then…etcetera ad infinitum!

What makes it difficult to get over someone who hurt you is that your love for them was based on an idealized version of who they were in your imagination.

I once had a friend who told me that the hardest thing about getting over someone is realizing they were not who you thought they were.

It’s true: what makes it difficult to get over someone who hurt you is that your love for them was based on an idealized version of who they were in your imagination. The person who broke your heart was never really that good, but now you’ve got to accept reality and let go of the fantasy that made him or her seem so appealing when they first came along.

The process of forgetting is going to be different for everyone and will take as long as it takes.

You can’t force yourself to forget someone who broke your heart.

The process of forgetting is going to be different for everyone and will take as long as it takes. You have to be patient with yourself and give yourself time to heal, but eventually you’ll get there!

It’s important to maintain a healthy sense of self-worth during the grieving process so that you can heal.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you are worthless, not good enough, or ugly. You are worth more than what someone else thinks of you; don’t let them take away from that fact by allowing them to make comments about your appearance or personality that would cause anyone else but those closest to us (our family members) to feel embarrassed or ashamed of who they are as individuals.

To help yourself move past a painful experience, try these techniques:

If you’re struggling to forget someone who broke your heart, here are some tips on how to do so:

• Write down your feelings. Writing down the things that happened and how they made you feel can help bring closure. It’s also a good way of identifying what went wrong in the relationship and why it didn’t work out for either person involved. It may seem like an obvious step but many people don’t take this one seriously enough; writing down exactly what happened is a great way of keeping track of everything in order for future reference if necessary.*
• Meditate or exercise regularly! Exercise releases endorphins (happy chemicals) into our brains which helps us feel better about ourselves overall — not just emotionally but physically as well! Meditation is another great way of calming yourself down when life gets stressful because it allows time away from all distractions so we can focus solely on ourselves without any outside influences distracting us from our thoughts/feelings etc…

1) Write down what happened, how it made you feel, and what you learned from it; then burn the paper (or delete the email or text).

• Writing things down can help you process them.
• Burning the paper symbolizes moving on and starting fresh. If you’re not ready to move on yet, save this file in a folder on your computer labeled “Old Relationships.” This way, when you’re ready to let go completely, all of your memories will be easily accessible–just delete that folder!

Remember that there’s no right or wrong way to get over someone. You just have to do what feels right for you!

The first thing to remember is that there’s no right or wrong way to get over someone. You just have to do what feels right for you!

There are some things that people can tell you about how they got over their exes, but ultimately it’s up to you if it works for your situation or not. Some people might say “I just had sex with someone else,” while others say “No way! I’m staying celibate until my heartache goes away.” Some may even tell their friend that they need time alone at home so they can work through everything by themselves in peace and quiet (which actually sounds like a pretty good idea). The point is: there isn’t just one solution that works every single time; everyone has different needs and desires when dealing with breakups of any kind–and those needs change over time too!

Conclusion

To sum up, it’s important to remember that there’s no right or wrong way to get over someone. You just have to do what feels right for you!
