How do you dull the pain of missing someone?

Answer 1

You didn't mentions the circumstances as to why you miss this person ,,,, If it's a death in the family or a friend ,,,, Only time will heal this ,,,, If it's because of a break up then the best thing you can do is start fresh with a new chapter in your life ,,,, Put the past behind you ,,,, Get your mind on your life ,,,, You have to think about you now and what's best for you ,,,, No one else is going to especially this person you no longer have in your life,,,, Put this person out of your life and have no more contact with them ,,,, Further contact only opens up old wounds ,,,, Don't let this person play with your head or make a fool of you ,,,, This person is a part of you past now ,,,,, Keep it that way ,,,,

Answer 2

-Move on. Try meeting whole bunch of new people. Distract yourself by surrounding yourself with people. Don't be alone all the time. Call someone up and strike a long conversation.

- Keep those memories away. Set aside anything that makes you think about that person. Put it away where you can't see it.

- Distract yourself. Find a hobby. Personally, what I do is rent a bunch of comedies and horror movies. I never rent anything sad or romantic. It just makes you more depressed. It doesn't help. Or read bunch of books. These are some books I have read. Try reading some Chicken Soup books. =)

- What makes you happy? I love watching horror movies late at night with a couple or snacks here and there lying on the floor. Bowling or any other sports is a great way to have a fun time with friends and family.

It's hard to numb the pain of missing someone, but it's something that everyone has to deal it. You can never completely get over missing someone or to dull the pains. You just have to remind yourself to stop dwelling in the past because it is only destroying you emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. (If you believe in God) "Although we are alive, we live like mummies. It is our responsibility and job to untie our bandages. God gave us life and sacraficed his own life by saving us. Therefore we should all live as if we are alive." Stay positive! =)

Answer 3

Remember the good times, if someone has died, have a cry express you feelings, don't block it out. If somenone has broken up with you or is away, tell yourself they would not want you to feel sad but to get on with your life. My friend I have been there many times. Just feel what you need to feel. It is said during the pain of missing someone that your creative juices are high, maybe try painting, writing poetry or music, or just listening to music helps.

Answer 4

Well let me just start off by saying that I have been in a long distance relationship for over a year. I have found that hanging out with friends and keeping myself busy keeps my mind off of missing my boyfriend for awhile. But I constantly talk to him on the phone. Good Luck!

Answer 5

i don't think you really can... if you did truly love them you won't be able to... but if you really do want to dull the pain, move on, forget about them, or whatever - you kinda just have to force yourself.... w/ me not one day passes that i don't miss my ex bf, i know that i still love him... but i just force myself to move on... i just keep telling myself that i'll meet someone better - at some point lol so how to dull the pain? - try not to think about them too much - try getting a hobby that keeps your mind busy... try hanging out w/ friends - almost anything that's healthy that'll keep ur mind busy... worst comes to worst -- 'force' yourself to not think about them... every time your mind goes to them pick some random thing in your mind and think about that instead... try a 1 ft tall purple elf w/ green hair, crossed eyes, buck teeth, and wearing a pink and yellow striped suit! lol i really wish you the best w/ this - GOOD LUCK! :)

Answer 6

Find something to do to pass time. Try not to think about them as much. I'm separated from my little boy until school let's out. I write to him when I really start missing him. Start a hobby up that can help too.

Answer 7

Well, if it's just a long distance thing, try to keep in touch. Talking constantly on the phone can be annoying though, so be careful. If it's a relationship problem, I'd suggest icecream. That always works for me.

Answer 8

Make a point of planning to see them. My ex and I, who have a better relationship now than when we were married, tend to feel that a lot. So we try to find time to see each other.

If you are talking about the love of your life that is now gone...time helps, but also getting involved in various life affirming activities that divert your feelings tend to help.

Answer 9

Sigh. Time. I suppose there are practical things, like stay busy, don't dwell on them, move on with your life....but in truth it one of the hardest things ever. Sometimes the void is so strong it aches. Just give it time. Surround yourself with people you know care about you. Avoid things that make you think of that person

Answer 10

Try doing some hobbies that you enjoy and take your mind off it for a bit. The less you think of them, the easier it becomes to live, I find.
I guess that's sort of avoidance, but it works for me anyway.
