How to cut off emotions for a someone

Personally, I crush my emotions by telling myself it would never work. I make it seem like we broke up before we even started dating. I bring the past up to bury the present so I don't care for someone.

I'm, in no way, saying that it's okay.

From past experiences, I would not recommend that. There are friends I can't even talk to any more because I crushed my feelings for them. In my attempt to protect myself from being hurt, I alienated the same people I cared for, and completly crushed any emotion for them at all.

If you feel you must, there is no completely effective method. There is no garuantee that you'll be better off that you were. Everyone has different needs, and some people can't find a method that works.

Think before you make that descision, make sure that that is what you need, and try not to over do it and make the same mistake I did.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
