How to stop craving for someone

Writer Caleb Butler

I am thinking to stop craving for someone whom I desperately need. There is this guy who makes me feel like a heroine from a romance movie. His heart melts when he looks at me and I love the sensation. He likes staring at me from afar place and it gives me Goosebumps. Sometimes he also sings songs to catch my attention. But when I try to take it forward he loses his mind and becomes so rude in front of everyone. He does not even greet me if we happen to meet in a commonplace.

To stop cravings for someone you have to follow the following stages.

STAGE 1: Start spending time alone. You have to give some time off to your friends and family members for this purpose. So, you are left alone with no clue about what is happening around you. This way whatever thoughts are there in your mind will come out in their own direction without any hesitation which might be blocking it from coming out. The time should be of 1 hour to 2 hours.

It will help you to tell yourself that there is no other way except to move on. It will also help in identifying what exactly you are craving for and that what you can do without moving ahead in your life.

STAGE 2: Concentrate on the person whom you crave for. Ask yourself why are you craving for him or her? What exactly is it that you are not able to get in life. Is it the attention, care, love, affection, time together, etc?

STAGE 3: Look Ahead. Start preparing yourself for the sad event by thinking about it often so that you do not get shocked when you face it. This I found is very important in such cases otherwise, your mind keeps on playing tricks to avoid facing the truth.

The person with whom you are infatuated also starts having feelings for you and then everything is fine again. The person does not have feelings for you but still, you can live your life happily without his or her presence in your life. This way it will be easy

It is important that whatever steps you take, do not create any regret in your mind which will again create a situation of craving.
