Some ways to get over your crush easily and quickly:
While nothing can be completely healing but these tricks are sure to change your mind and help you overcome the grief and sorrow. The most important part is breaking up on a rather positive note which is not so in most cases. When you separate at bitter terms it gets tougher to forget and move on. Some steps to help in getting over a crush who was not worthy of your love and care include:
1- The first important step is to accept and realize he is no longer a part of you or your life:
Emotional venting out is equally important for you now. Take charge of yourself and learn the hard fact that he is no longer with you. It takes a while but realization is the key to beginning a normal and happy life afresh. Adjust your mindset in a way that your strong feelings for that person or your crush don’t come in the way. Let the intense feelings go away and stop holding on to them dearly. You can do this by the following:
- Talk to your friend and share it all with her/ him. This helps in making you feel light and relaxed
- Write down on a paper if you cant share with friends and open your heart out without any hitch
- Staying alone and wallowing for a few days is fine but don’t confine yourself at home for long
2- Its time to forget the anger and bitterness you parted with:
The more you think about how bitter it was, and the more your are angry with him the difficult it gets to move on. You don’t need to have any emotions for that crush who did not respect your pure love and care. Always remember you need to respect your own feelings and move on rather than keeping the harsh terms you parted with, in your heart and mind. Acknowledge pain and share it with friends
Specially if you come in contact with your crush don’t show him how angry you are and how bitter it went. Be indifferent to it and see how powerful and relaxing it is

10- Be honest with yourself and don’t take it personal:
Everyone has their choices and there is nothing you can do to make anyone love you or like you. If the person has moved on, try and be honest with yourself. Feel the pain and cry out once, but don’t stick with this for long. Once you accept your feelings and the reality it gets easier to get over.
11- Stop thinking about him even when alone:
You need to be headstrong and stop thinking about him now. Its tough to control your thoughts but if you try and distract yourself into something more exciting and intriguing, it will be easier and simpler

You don’t want sympathy but a relation which is two sided and feels lovely for you. Don’t hope for him to come back, its destiny and move on. If you continue thinking about how he will come back to you; then you are living a pretentious life
13- Keep away from him or places that remind of your good times together:
Try to stay away from him as much possible, and avoid places that remind of him. Avoid eating at places where you dated once, skip the cafe’ or bar where you would hangout and steer clear of the things that remind you of him
14- Seek help and support:
It’s easy when you have someone you trust to fall back upon. Ask for their help and discuss with them. You will feel light and this is not embarrassing at all. As we all have our share of heartaches and unfortunate incidents.

Now that he has gone, consider it a god sent chance to begin looking for another crush. And the learning from past bitter experience will make you capable enough not to make the same mistake.
