Is it normal when getting over someone to feel like noone is a good as them?

Asked by killerkadoogen (426points) February 2nd, 2010

Okay im trying to get over someone so i can still be her friend. She too important to just forget about or pretend she does not exist. When ever i seek another they do not seem as good as her wheather it be looks or personality. Is this normal thing that happens to everyone? How the hell to do counter it?

Sure it’s normal. It is just like when a treasured pet dies or gets lost, you can’;t imagine ever replacing them. But in time the pain dulls and you do. It’s a process that we all go through when we suffer a deep emotional loss. Personally, I counter it by staying active, not letting myself sit on the sidelines and brood any more than I have to.

Good luck in the recovery process.

There’s another fish in the sea (probably much better fish). You just haven’t found that yet. But someday you will.

It takes time. It’s easier if the break is cleaner, at least at first.

It’s always happened to me in the past. I would constantly compare everyone to that most recent ex. That’s how you know you’re not quite over the person, so you need to give yourself time to get over them.

I use to date someone else right away. For me it was easier to forget a relationship by learning about someone new. Its normal behavior to feel like you lost someone great but realistically if they were that great you would still be in the relationship. Missing someone can make the heart grow fonder and you may toss away all the little things that really made the relationship suck. Time is the only thing.

That’s completely normal. You’ll get over the person though. Good luck!

Yes it’s normal to think that way. Just give yourself time to move on.

yes because it is all you’ve known in the time being. Go out there and find new people and maybe if you get to know them a little better, you will find some things you really like about them. It could be the start of something new :)
