Past relationships are something that is gone forever. But sometimes memories of them do not let go, do not allow you to move on.
This can be observed especially often in the case of a person of the fair sex. She can literally live with thoughts about a man, and she can't let them go. The lady will see that this only hinders her, but she will not be able to change the situation.
She won't pretend about all this. Forgetting an ex is not always possible, which can be explained by several reasons.
The scale of the tragedy is being exaggerated
Breaking up has negative consequences. But they are not always as large-scale as the young lady thinks. She can wind herself up, she can set herself up for negativity.
In this case, her mood will leave much to be desired. She will perceive everything in such a situation very violently.
Self-flagellation
The girl may blame herself for what happened, she may think that it was because of her that the affair ended. In such a situation, she will look for shortcomings, flaws in herself, she will find them, she will focus on them.
As a result, she not only stops judging herself adequately. She also sees reality distorted. And this always prevents recovery after a breakup.
Refusal to acknowledge validity
In this case, the lady will not have a sense of completion of the relationship. She will think that the separation is temporary, that she will soon be able to reunite with her partner.
She will live this way, she will not even try to accustom herself to the idea that everything is over. She will refuse new acquaintances, she will not get used to a new life. The ex will take up all the space in her thoughts.
Losing yourself
And this can happen if a lady once dissolved in a relationship, in a man. She could devote herself to him, could forget about a hobby, about self-realization.
After the breakup, in this case, she will have no activities or entertainment. She will not be able to distract herself from her experiences, she will be immersed in them, she will dissolve in them.
All these moments need to be excluded and worked through. In this case, memories of the former gentleman will remain in the distant past.
