Is it possible to totally get over your ex without finding a new love interest?

So maybe it's just me but I seem to never feel completely over the last person I dated or was interested in, until a new person comes along. The new person distracts me so I finally stop thinking about the last. Does this happen to other people too?

 

I'm still trying to get over the last girl I broke up with who has moved on, dating someone else, they're all excited about each other, etc. I feel like I should be fine now but I still think about her. I would prefer to just stop thinking about her and be over it without having to find someone new to distract me. Is it possible?

Find activities you enjoy and pour your heart into them. For me it is going to the gym, I expend a lot of energy, frustrations or just otherwise enjoy what I do there. It is possible it just takes some time, sometime months or more. Agree with the post above, beware of rebound relationships, their lifespan may be shortened due to carrying recent hurts into it.
