We've all been there: even though you parted ways with someone, it feels like the person is still haunting your mind. When you break up with someone or end a friendship, it can take months or even years to get the person out of your head. If you don't take action to replace those thoughts with something positive, memories and "what ifs" will run circles in your mind without stopping. By letting go of the past, changing the way you think and making new memories, you can forget the person who is causing you to feel empty, sad or angry. See Step 1 to start forgetting.
