How To Get My Mind Of Relationships?

0

I just want to forget about having relationships for a short time. I am going to be 15 and I started dating when I was 13 and since then I have had 26 girlfriends which is too much, especially since I am not really that into girls… It took me a long time to kind of put it all together, anyways, since I am too young to come out I just don’t know how to forget about relationships. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

It's possible that you're thinking about being with someone else so often because you don't have enough going on in your life. Boredom lets the mind wander.. a lot. So keep busy! Start a hobby, make more plans with friends, whatever makes you happy. The single life actually has a lot of benefits if you're in a positive mind-set about it, which you seem to be so that's good. When you're single you can take time to find yourself, your interests, and will help figure out who you're interested in as well.

I'm around your age and I understand that feeling of relationships constantly being on your mind. Dating, as teens, honestly doesn't mean much. If you think that coming out at this time is maybe not safe or you're currently in a bad situation, then hold on a bit longer. But if you're sure, maybe start by telling a very close friend. It's always easier to tell your friends stuff than your family. The saying "blood is thicker than water" doesn't mean that your relations with kin should be stronger than all your other relations (friends, partners etc.). The full phrase is "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." Which means the opposite; your relation with the people you CHOOSE is stronger than your relation with blood-related family. Also, telling maybe one or two people who are close to your heart can really help you through coming out.Now getting your mind off relationships. It isn't too hard. I recently had some trouble with this exact problem and what I did was surround myself with hobbies. Surrounding yourself with things you love to do will slowly ease your mind off of relationships, dating etc. Pick up a few old favourite books, go for nice long walks in the fresh, crisp morning air, try new sports. These all helped me quite a lot. But no change is done over-night. Everything takes time. There is no truer phrase than "time can heal anything". Working against your mind and your thoughts can be pretty rough. But participating in physical activities that can slowly transition your brain from thinking about relationships to thinking about the activity at hand. I recently picked up a few new sports and it has honestly helped so much.I wish you all the best in this part of your life! Remember that it will be hard, it will take time. Do your best!!

Consistency is a stubborn habit with humans. Your brain begins to condition itself, in the mindset "Oh, I'm single. We need to change that". My suggestion to you is to go out and have fun! You're a soon to be 15 year old. You've got your whole life ahead of you, and you won't even find someone worth while till you're out of college. Might as well live it up now!
