What do you do when u cant be with the one u truly want?

Idk what to do its been 4 years since iv known this person, we used to be very close but are no longer friends. I truly wanted to be with them but I never really explained my feelings but I had told them I really did love them and I secretly meant it more than friends. We had a rocky friendship with this person being an ass at times but I never stoped loving them. I see pics on facebook sometimes of this person with someone and I get an overwhelming feeling of anger build up with some jealousy. Iv tried to forget them and despite the fact we r no longer friends I cant foget how I felt and how badly I just want to be with this person…What do i do?? is it normal :(

    You have to get over it, and move on with your life! I know that's not what you want to hear, but you need to grieve the loss and move forward with your life. Accept that you're powerless over your ex friend and you will find your self feeling much happier in life. See a therapist if necessary.

    You just carry on as best you can. I've been doing it for many years now.

    If you can, tell them how you really feel. Rejection will give you closure. Approval will open the door.

    Steven Stills said it best, "And if you can't be with the one you love, honey, Love the one you're with"

        There you go, trying to think again. Remember, your doctor warned you that it was bad for your health, to do that.

    If you cling onto memories you wont ever get over this person. Focus on why it didn't work out and why said person is less good.
    It always works for me.

    Options: a) Distraction, b) Suicide, c) Enduring the pain.

    Don't remain friends with this individual or the feeling will persist. Listen to depressing love songs to purge your emotions(in a painful way it makes you feel better). Focus on improving yourself as a human being. Work actively toward achieving your long term goals. With time, someone else will come along and your feeling for the other individual may fade.

    Essentially the same thing as dealing with a break-up.
