How to evict people from your head: 1. Forgive yourself. 2. Forgive them. 3. Stop talking about it with other people (No gossiping!) 4. Learn from it as well. 5. Focus on bettering yourself. 6. Try something new. 7. Go out and get to know new people (remember #3) 8. Now you have truly moved on from an ex, relationship, trauma. If you ever cross paths with whomever is living rent free IRL, remember how much you have grown.
@@scottholtslander8336 "Learn from it" by observing your own actions and theirs from a third person perspective. It's not only being critical of them, but also of yourself. What did you do wrong? What could you have done better? Have you learned to pick up on these emotional signs faster from other people now that you've experienced it? What will you do the next time this happens? If you could speak to the person whom is living rent free in your head, what would you like to say to them? Think of everything you would like to say. Then think of how they would honestly respond (remember, in their own personality, not yours). It's almost like you're talking to yourself. Feel free to even say it out loud in anger (while nobody is around, you don't want to be seen as "crazy"). If you do ever get the chance to talk to the person face to face, don't say what you want in anger. Things said in anger can be the hardest to repair. It's a mental/emotional marathon process. It's not going to be easy to truly let it go. It will take time. Cry it out if you need to. Learn what your body needs.
GURL I ended things with someone 2 years ago too! Only after I started talking to him again I not only spilled I still have feelings, I also sent him a 2 page letter in the mail, and then mailed him a customized pillow with pictures from when we were together to him LOL and then I never contacted him ever again. I just needed to let all the gushy feelings out and I feel SOOOOO much better now.
@@elanachan4014 Right! So much of the agony in my opinion was just keeping those feelings inside like a dirty secret. Telling him out of the blue felt so good
you deserve so much more! I'm sure that as soon as you end things with that person and focus in yourself, there will be someone writing you paragraphs like you deserve!! keep your chin up and incest in yourself as it's the only investment worth investing in
@@vani7493 You have your answer then. He isn't capable of giving more than that, and it isn't enough for you. Don't sunk-cost yourself into even more pain.
I have dated the same woman on and off for thirteen years. Talk about an utter failure to evict someone living inside your head. We're in an off period now, and I still can't :(
I'm so painfully shy and introverted that it was a miracle at all I managed to meet and date this woman at all. The prospect of trying to meet someone else is too much :(
@@sststr This year I´m determined to make more money so I can get mental healthcare and invest in myself. It has taken me a long time to realize I had to get help and take care of myself. If you have such a hard time socializing, and it hurts you, as I think you are saying, maybe you could talk to someone and try to live a happier life. Would you like that? Don't you think its not fair for you - and for her - that you're dating her because you have no other options? I'm sorry if I was rude when I flat out said "get out". It's just that most couples who are together +10 years either get married or break up. Going on and off for 13years sounds like an unhappy place for both of you. Again I'm sorry if I'm overstepping here. I hope you are well. I hope you are happy.
Even if I could overcome my intense shyness to meet someone new, the problem remains that I am still very much in love with this woman. It would not be fair to anyone to enter into a relationship while still in love with another. I have no idea how to fall out of love with her, and I don't even want to. She is everything I want in a partner, even if I do not match up to her expectations as well as she would like (although obviously I must come close or she would not keep trying over and over).
This hits home for me Anna. I simped for my first love and first ex recently this past New Year's Eve. I expressed I still had feelings for him through Snapchat and said talking to him just as a friend hurt more to me, so I just needed to know if he felt anything for me and he said he didn't wanna date me again :'(. It's his loss though because I got way hotter from when we last saw each other. It did hurt at first but I eventually accepted it and evicted him. Can't stay simping for people who don't give af! Although after he said he wouldn't date me again I did mail him a 2 page letter professing my deep feelings and also mailed him a customized pillow with pictures on it from when we were still together :/ BUT after that I did evict him and he gone. Thanks Anna
That "wait what" really got me haha. So many people have been living rent free in my head and now I have an entire monologue to remind me why they need to leave. Thanks Anna
Same. I feel like our friendship is so messy but both of us love being friends in the good times. But I can’t stop thinking about her and the pain she’s caused me and I’ve caused her but when we’re good we’re great so I can’t physically leave her (even tho I don’t really want to. Just mentally and emotionally
“ What are you gonna do with all those extra hours? Do the hard work of becoming the person you were meant to be?? Lol” On point! Totally relates to past friendships or any relationship... being stuck in the past. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Seriously your content is the BEST! I was literally telling a guy last month how he started living in my head rent free, and this was SO ON POINT! thank u for YOU!
Your videos are insanely good. It's like watching a mini self help movie. You're the only youtuber which adds value to my life and to my day, whenever you post.
That’s an amazing idea. I’m going to start doing that. Because before I’d just punish myself for not being able to get a given person out of my head. But I’m going to draft it, burn it*, and move on. I’m really glad my house has a fire place
I can recommend you to Dr.frank who is a relationship counselor who helped me restore back my relationship and heal my marriage back permanently after 3years of separation
I was thinking about this. I think we think about our relationships because we want to have families like kids. Most people dont think about our 40's and 50's and at that time, the most important thing is our family. We think about it because it is important. Once you get a great partner, you think about it a lot less. It's like water when we're thirsty. We think about it a whole lot when were thirty, but when we have water it doesnt take all our thoughts.
I need to kick someone out, we're just friends and she has a boyfriend ;( Edit: we were talking about sex and stuff and she has the perfect kinks... like I'll give you a month just to let my fantasies settle down Like bruh.......... btw thanks for the 225 likes ❤️❤️❤️

You take topics everyone goes through and make it so funny and relatable. lol! I have someone...actually a couple people living rent-free and it makes ME mad that I allow it!
Sometimes that one person in your head helps you find the purpose of your existence. Understanding why they were so important helps you find you and what motivates you.

I broke up a month ago and time after time Anna has been my mental health and over coming best friend 😭 still I can't get her out of my mind, but I see it clearer now, thank you Anna!
Thanks Anna for always bring good content to the web. And for sharing betterhelp. I had never heard of it, and have been trying to find some help recently due to life being a b****.
I legit am going through this exact same problem now with a recent ex. As a poet, I vent out all my anger and longing in my poetry; and I got to admit he inspired some of my best work, but I hate how he still is "living in my head rent-free." Like arggghh I know I deserve better, why can't my brain and heart cooperate for once and move on! I know it takes time, but yeah, it's annoying. This vid was great though Anna; your vids always help me ease my mind troubles 😌💖
I swear to god if I actually charged people for living in my head, I would be a millionaire hahahah

😂😂😂. I would evict everyone else and just keep elon musk
Yea those fictional characters would give me all their money
Fr lol
Instead you are millions in debt. 😳
"Who are you gonna idealize?" Lol you didnt have to expose me like that

Or go to fictional characters that don’t exist anyway 😂

I like how he actually puts up a solid defense. It puts into perspective that it's not so easy.
This is why Anna is so good. She brings nuance to difficult issues and tries to see both sides of a story. And then somehow makes it really funny!

Why did the spiders being evicted make me cry though??
They had babies. It's was sad.
because we're all very emotional
Too relatable in a pandemic
Just let them stay! They pay their rent with saving you from mosquitos!

Good observation, I thank you
As someone who thinks way too much all the time, I can definitely relate to this!
I think it's really scary that Anna always seem to upload videos based on my current problems lol. Thank you so much for this!
I needed that advice when I was 16. Now 26 I figured this out myself. But kids you need that advice!
This is hitting too close to home right now
But how do i actually evict because i’ve not spoken to my ex in 2 years but he’s still living here
💔💔♥️♥️♥️
Omg me too and they ain't leaving
Hypnosis?
omg same
