Maybe start processing that first we can't own people and second that ideal you formed in your head is not real, never was and probably won't be. Sounds harsh, but it's easier that way (edited)

This question needs more clarification lol, but I'll interpret it as getting over a breakup/crush on someone. Here's some advice based on my past experiences πŸ˜… The best way to do so is by forgetting them. It seems difficult but it can be done. Do things you enjoy, hang out with friends more and volunteer during your spare time so you don't always think about them. Remind yourself that they're not for you and there's someone better out there. It will keep your hopes up as you continue to be yourself. You'll eventually get over it and boy, does it feel great!

Just move away without saying nothing, focus on yourself and another things in life, act like they vanished, you'll not even remember them At first it's really hard, but when you get used to it, it's easy

Hmm... So I hope I'm right in assuming you still have feelings for him/her.. The goodbye part is not that complicated, something like "goodbye" or "have a good life" will suffice. Or if you want something more flowery, you could always go with "good riddance, go F* yourself!!" 😏 The issue is how to deal with the lingering emotions.. We all know it's not as easy as "just forget about him/her". There are two solutions to that issue. 1= Take all the time you need to stand up again. 2= To forgive (be it yourself or the other party) Both are not one off.. They are processes. So take each day at a time, and don't be too hard on yourself. One last thing I'd like to add.. Maybe best not have any contact with the other party, lest you end up feeling worse. When you have healed, you can decide if yall can "just be friends". But only once you have healed! Oh and sorry if the assumption I made was incorrect.. That would be embarrassing 🀭🀭 (edited)

They're not yours, so there was no one to say goodbye to.

Do you have to? I suggest just closing the door or turning the page. Then if you really need to burn some sage βœ¨πŸ™‚βœ¨

I'm going through the same thing actually. It's not just the person you are saying goodbye to... it's the feelings and the memories too. I think the best thing( eventhough I'm not the one to talk) is to be honest and acknowledge your feelings. Be honest with them and then focus on moving forward knowing that you both are your own people, and you both have new beginnings ahead of you. (edited)

I'd literally write him emails once in a while, but instead of sending them to him, i sent those emails to me, because i know I probably like the idea of him that i constructed in my head, not the real him because he never really gave me the chance to know the real him.

Is unnecesary, I mean now one belongs to each other in any aspect :( , so what's the reason to do that?

Difficult question when you ask yourself if you still like them. I loved a girl for a really long time, stayed loyal but my feelings were never reciprocated. It's easy to say goodbye, but when you have had many years of getting to know them. People grow apart so it's not something you do naturally, but something that happens without influence. Doesn't make the growing apart part easier though. But I feel like we all get used to this eventually and grow stronger from it. Meeting even better people so it's bad at first, but if you can push past all that pain, you will find someone more precious 😌

With a lot of stank and passive aggressiveness. 🀣 Jk. Regardless, it's always very difficult, no matter the circumstance. But the best I've known is to just be upfront, honest, and straightforward. Let whatever feelings and/or grievences that are there BE expressed, that way there is nothing left to go back to. PS: if your circumstance shows that feelings are only one sided, it's best to just ghost, as you will NEVER get closure on that, and you will need to find closure yourself.

if we are friends i usually get them a gift, it’s like my last attempt to show emotions, then i shut the emotions down. if not, i go to shut down mode directly. might not be healthy but works for me.

One last sad kiss.. a possible "something wrong?" from their part, an explanation and a goodbye.
