How do you forget someone who meant the world to you?

I had a friend for 7 years, that would call me like every night almost. Or at least I expected their call every night, and would miss out on much of my life waiting for them to call. It was an obsession really.

We're no longer friends, but I still find myself expecting their call sometimes. (and it's been 3 years since we stopped being friends). I feel like there is a void where they should be. I haven't made any new friends in at least a year, and I have a hard time putting effort into other people. A fear of repeating the past I guess.

Is this normal at all?

    i went through the exact same thing, but it's only been about two months. i have a boyfriend to help me through it, but, you need to remember that you were alive and making it before they came along, and you can do it again. you're the most important person in your life, not them, no matter how much you loved them.
    to be cliche, a lot of friends are going to come and go. everyone goes through this, you're not alone. they didn't leave you with nothing, i'm sure you learned a lot from them.
    it might still be a habit. you might not have dealt with the fact that they're gone.

    Have the same problem but it's been 10 years! She was awesome! But than a tragedy struck- her little sister was raped and murdered by her friends! she stopped trusting people after that. She moved crossed country and i never saw her again. i still think about her almost everyday although I am married. I tried to contact her but all in vain. The only thing that helped was realizing it's over- that's it- and i'll never find her. Facing reality is the only help but the longing maybe will never go away. But you gotta leave the past behind and start over (unless you still have a chance with this guy). I'm happily married with a son although i regret what happened in the past and the chance i lost out on.

      This IS an advice forum somewhat. No?
