My breakup and how hard it is-advice please?

I was 16 when i met someone i ended up staying with this person for about 6 years we even lived together.I left because my feeling's changed even though my feeing's werent the same i did grieve a bit but i had already met someone and i believe i pursued thing's with this 27 yr old was to fill in the need of always having someone there.By this time i am already 22.I stayed with him for a year and a half.I am now 24.He broke up with me a week ago which i knew it was already coming on how our relationship was going.Just the way it happened is so messed up.I am not deeply madly over heals for him but i do love him i knew with time he wasnt the one for me.I believe the hardest part of this breakup is to learn to be alone and not to be afraid.It feel's weird to be single i feel lonley and abandon.I have agreed to the breakup which in reality i didn't have a choice but i see it as a step i need in my life.I want to learn to be alone and be ok with myself and mean while get over himI am definetly not suicidal i want to live lol Just want this pain to move along faster it's really hard just thinking about it and then dealing with the feeling of being alone.I am in no way ready for any kind of relationship with another man beside's friendship which i find normal.I just wanted some advice to see what have you been through and how you got over it-thanks!

You might feel pull aback by this advice but honestly, come on, if you happy, you smile; if you sad you cry, it is as simple as that. If you think that crying will make you feel ashamed of yourself, go back to your room, lock yourself in it, and hide your head under the pillow and cry as hard as possible. No one is watching you so don't worry. This is one of the best way getting yourself over a breakup. How long can you shed your tears? 1 hour? I bet you will get tired after half an hour and fell asleep easily. Or at least you will feel better after letting off your sorrows in your heart. You weren’t able to get over with your breakup, so you may feel the need to jump right into another one to ease the pain. This is definitely not a good idea. A lot of people try to rebuild their new broken fragile ego by dating again too soon after a breakup. You are only getting yourself into a more embarrassing situation as you are replacing your ex with someone you artificially thinks you needs to talk to. However, making this mistake might cost you losing another friend, so at this moment of time, just get yourself into some other better activities or stay at home and get some love relationship readings to help yourself get over of this depressing moment. And Evaluate why you broke up.. The purpose of evaluating your breakup reasons is to avoid yourself from making the same mistakes for your next relationship. Besides, by analyzing the breakup reasons, you can get a better understanding of yourself, so that you will know what kind of girls that suit you in the future.
