how do I move on from someone I see everyday?

You’re not crazy for still being stuck on him. When someone keeps coming in and out of your life like that, it messes with your head and makes it harder to fully let go. It’s like your brain keeps holding onto the “what if” even when they’ve shown you it’s over.

But the truth is, if someone can go from saying they like you to saying they feel nothing at all, then that’s not someone worth holding onto. You don’t need to distract yourself you need time. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting overnight, it means slowly accepting what happened and forgiving yourself for caring so much.

Let it hurt, but don’t let it define you. You’ve moved once, you can move forward too. Just give yourself grace.

Yeah, seeing them at school definitely makes it harder it’s like reopening the wound every day. But you don’t have to wait until graduation to start moving on.

You won’t forget them overnight, but you can start changing how much space they take up in your head. Keep your distance, block or mute them if you need to, stop checking their socials, and don’t feed the feelings by replaying everything in your mind. Even if they’re around, you don’t have to give them your energy.

It won’t be easy, but you’ll get stronger. Little by little, it’ll hurt less. Graduation won’t be your starting point — you can start letting go now.

Not going to lie that’s part of it. Letting go isn’t some switch you flip. It’s feeling that gut wrenching pain, that sting when you see them, and choosing not to chase the feeling anymore. You don’t have to pretend you’re okay. You just stop feeding the hope.

When you see him, it’s okay to feel it but don’t replay old conversations, don’t imagine “what if,” and don’t let your brain turn a glance into a story.

It’s gonna hurt, sometimes bad. But every time you feel it and don’t run back to it, you’re letting go little by little. That’s how healing works. Not in one big moment, but in a hundred small ones where you choose yourself instead of him.
