Even if the pain wasn’t logical, it is still pain. The need of the hour is to talk to your support group and cry if the need arises. If you need to go out, have some fun, grieve, sulk and simply express what you feeling, letting your heart out.

If talking isn’t your thing, you can put your feelings and thoughts in a journal, which is a great healing tool. If the person you have fallen for is your friend, you might want to move away from a friendship or take a break to allow your healing.

Time can heal these feelings of imaginary love or infatuation, which is often unrequited. Such feelings are an indication of our own emptiness, as we try to fill the vacuum by allowing such emotions to take shape.

Professional counselling can help find the root cause of this loneliness that is causing such feelings, especially if it happens often.

1. Staying busy with your work, or redirecting your energies to a goal that you always wanted to accomplish.
2. Connecting with friends and loved ones, letting your mind off the constant feeling of rejection or pain.
