Unhappy love is a guest of every human heart capable of loving, in principle. And although for hundreds of years it has inspired people to great works of art, immortalized deeds, etc., meeting with unrequited love, feeling pain and bitterness, sooner or later we come to the question — how to survive this unhappy love, forget it, get rid of it, pull it out of hearts forever.

Before asking this question, answer yourself another one, only honestly — do you really not want to suffer from unhappy love anymore, as you are already used to. It sounds rather strange, but most psychologists note a certain amount of masochism in the experiences of unrequited and unrequited love. First, we are accustomed to the status of pity: both from others and ourselves to ourselves. The problem with unhappy love is that a person becomes addicted to it. And, moreover, suffering is necessary for him, like a dose of a special drug. So, for example, the first love, which, as a rule, is unhappy (or unrequited), is remembered by us for a long time precisely because of the invested emotions. Surely you added fuel to the fire, intensifying the sensations of suffering with appropriate songs, thoughts and deliberately bringing yourself to tears. Familiar? So, suffering — is it love?

Philosophers, poets and psychologists have been arguing and pondering about what love is for centuries. Most agree that true love should bring joy and a sense of self-sufficiency. If a feeling develops into addiction, pushing for humiliation and masochism, then it contradicts the very nature of love — to create. You lose your life, your opportunities, your right to happiness. And if you want to change the situation, then this is the first correct step in a series of suffering.

So, what to do if you want unhappy love to remain in the past.
