How Does it Feel When You Miss Someone

When you miss someone… The reason why I miss people is because the fifty-mile radius around me feels a little bit duller when they are not around. I miss them because I am unable to wish them into existence in the blink of an eye. I want that person to be available. I want them to exist in my personal sphere of friends and family. I miss people because they were with me once, and now they’re not. I can still be with most of the people that I miss, but when I’m not, I feel a little bit lonely. If I am not able to fix this longing feeling, like if a loved one has passed, if a friend is too busy to talk, or if a partner decided to end things, I feel a tad bit hopeless. It might seem shallow in the face of all the bad things going on in the world, but you can’t fight the emotions running through your mind and body when the people you love aren’t next to you. The two ways you can miss someone The word missing is considered a contrany. That means it has two opposite meanings. One is to be connected to something or someone who isn’t there, while the other definition denotes an implicit loss. Either way, you’re met with the same consequences, not having what you miss. When you miss someone in a positive way, it means you are longing for the good things that came out of your experiences. When you miss someone in a negative way, you’re harboring feelings of regret and depression because you want that person back in your life. Whether it’s because of distance or circumstance, you end up feeling the loss and it manifests in ways you might not expect. Positive reactions to missing someone… The fact that you miss someone tells you there is a reason why you’re pining for this person. It’s highly doubtful you’d miss the negative aspects of this person, but it also means they touched your life in a positive way. With that being said, there’s always a possibility missing this person will produce positive outcomes in your life. #1 You want to connect with that person again. #2 You realize the value of that person. #3 You use your emotions to develop new ways to process your longing. #4 You reminisce about the good memories more than the bad. #5 You find yourself recreating these positive feelings with new people or the ones who are still there. Negative reactions to missing someone… Unfortunately, there will always be a dark side to missing someone. We can’t help it. Loss is loss. Even if it happened in a positive context, you are still prone to the negative effects of having to say goodbye to someone. It doesn’t matter if this loss is permanent or not. The fact is someone isn’t a part of your day-to-day life anymore. And that’s always sad, isn’t it? #1 You feel sad whenever you think about that person. #2 You focus more on the sadness of the present instead of the happiness of the past. #3 You feel confused and alone, and wonder why that person is not in your life anymore. Much like depression, confusion and loneliness may be expected from missing someone. You may not understand why a person had to leave or you may not be used to not having this person in your life anymore. The best thing to do is to develop a better understanding of the events leading to this person’s departure. That way, you can develop a way to cope and deal with your new situation. #4 You do what you can to get the same type of attention from the same person or someone else. #5 You tend to focus more on the past and the present, rather than the positive outcomes of the future. When you miss someone, it can hurt a lot. But as long as you truly understand why you miss them, and remember that all you need is time, you’ll surely overcome the misery of missing someone you can’t have anymore.
