One of the people I admire told me that if someone had hurt you so badly and you want to forget him or her, you need to burn the bridge. Every thing that will remind of your relationship with someone needs to be put away, so he said, "burn all the memorable thing that is with you that let you remember that person." I think it helps. But the final decision is in your hands. Good day and thank you, too!

One of the best sayings ive ever heard is "forgetting someone that you loved is like trying to remember someone that you never met. so in other words its impossible and not worth the energy it will take you to try. They best things that you can do is walk away from that person and not give them the opportunity to hurt you anymore then you have to believe that it wasnt your fault your were treated that way and that you deserve better. Work on yourself, do the things that make you happy and be around people who will treat you the way you deserve and be grateful for the lesson that you learned from that relationship, even if it hurts you now in the long run it will make you stronger and teach you what not look for in the people that your letting into your life

Forgetting is not part of our nature. As human beings we have a tenancy to hold onto pain, grudges...even when we are aiming for forgiveness or forgetfulness. It is tough. I have a faith that helps me to move past such things.

barring amnesia.. you wont forget. and you really shouldnt forget. every experience inlife good and bad.. happy and hurtful.. shapes us into the individuals we are and will become. you have the opportunity to either become bitter and cynical.. or to take the good things from this and use it for positive means. take the time to grieve.. lick yer wounds and pick yer head up.. then move on. and do yer best to not make the next person pay for the pasts of others.

I guess there are tons of people out there that want to find out about this answer. I stopped contact a person that caused alot of pain to me, but we share the common friends so I still see him and hear from him at times.

Someone I loved more than anyone just dropped me from my dream sky not so long ago. It took me about 7 months to completely forget her,,,well not completely but somehow I now feel hate for her instead of love! She just dump me for many stupid reasons and me I was so damn in love with her that I even fought with my mom so much times because of her. She used to loved me so much and suddenly in september last year she was fed up with me just because her parents did not like me (simply coz am her cousin) and because some of her friends told her that she is TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR ME!!! Great!Many of her friends told her to not leave me but she had no pity and she was in love with another guy!!! For those who asked, I am just 21 years old but I had truly love her...the first girl I truly loved! And she just burnt my heart. So now I just dnt care a damn about love and some girls are saying am arrogant when I just flirt and then later abandon them. Who made me like this??? If you wanna forget the person just DONT KEEP CRYING OVER YOUR FATE AND SHOW HIM/HER THAT YOU CAN BE MUCH BETTER OFF WITHOUT HER!!! Time heals everything. I don't usually post a lot here but your post catched my attention so just throw away all the things he/she gave you and live life and enjoy. Sooner or later you will find someone who you will like a lot and who will love you more than you imagine. By the way do drop by at my blog at http://onlinemoneyagents.blogspot.com

If you really got hurt that much , try and find ways just to not liek him , i mean liek hating somoneone for what they have done to you is alot easier than still caring for evverythign they have doen and said, if you just dont liek them then you will simply not care
