Hello!
Host:
Hi, I'm Zeng Chen, a heart exploration coach. I've read your post and I can really feel the internal conflict you're facing. It seems like you appreciate her, but you also want to forget her.
At the same time, I also noticed that the poster has bravely expressed his own distress and actively sought help on the platform, which will undoubtedly help the poster to better understand and recognize himself, and thus adjust himself. I'm so proud of him for being brave enough to seek help!
I'd love to share some thoughts from the post that might help you see yourself in a new light.
I know it can be tough, but the more you try to forget, the more you can't.
In the post, it was observed that the poster mentioned that you like someone who is not right, and you want to forget her but can't. I totally get how you're feeling right now. It's so common when we try to forget something, it just doesn't work!
I'm not sure if the original poster has ever had trouble sleeping. It's like when you try to fall asleep and you can't. The more you try, the more you can't. It's so hard!
Sometimes, you know, the more you resist, the more the opposite effect occurs. It's just like the action and reaction of a force.
Of course, this is also related to how our brains work. When we want to forget someone, our brains will ask us, "Who do you want to forget?"
I know it can be tough, but did the other person's appearance come back to your mind at that time?
So, you see, the more you try to forget, the more you may actually strengthen her image in your mind.
2. Accept and accept yourself. I know it's tough, but try to focus on yourself for a bit. I can't forget now
As we chatted above, it became clear that trying to forget only makes it harder. So, what can we do for ourselves right now?
Maybe we can accept our current state of being. If I can't forget, I won't forget. I allow myself to not forget in this current state, and I also allow myself to always think of her in this current state.
Then, with time, we can gradually let go of the other person. A friend of mine was recently heartbroken. At first, she couldn't forget him, and even remembered his license plate number. Whenever she saw a white car on the road, she would take a look.
I told her not to try to forget, but to allow it. And then, one day, she surprised me! She said, "I can't remember his license plate number."
Sometimes, we really need to give ourselves some time and space. It's okay to use time and space to fade everything away.
3. Try to focus back on yourself, my friend.
It's okay to accept and allow ourselves to forget. What can we do after we realize that we can't forget? We can try to focus our attention back on ourselves, and at the same time, we can set a time limit for thinking about her.
Because thinking is something we can't always control. But if we can't control it, we can make a pact with ourselves and cooperate.
I know it can be tough to stop thinking about her, but I allow you to think about her for a period of time. When you think about her on your own at other times, at this time, draw your attention back to the present and go about your own business.
You can also try to focus on yourself and use this time to grow yourself, which may allow you to meet a better version of yourself. I know you can do it!
I really hope these are helpful and inspiring for you! If you have any questions, you can also click to find a coach for one-on-one communication.

It sounds like you're really torn up about this. It's tough when feelings aren't mutual, but it seems she values other things in a relationship.
The kiss doesn't define her feelings; maybe she sees you as a friend. Still, it's hard not to read more into it. Friends don't always get kisses after all.
She didn't mind the photo, which might mean she trusts you. Trust is important, but it's different from romantic interest. That's a bit of a silver lining though.
Her qualities are undeniably appealing. It's no wonder you're finding it difficult to move on. Just remember, someone out there will appreciate you just as much.
I can see why you're stuck on her. She sounds amazing. But sometimes people grow attached even when the signs point elsewhere. Take your time to heal and reflect.
