Do you feel alone: What to Do When Boyfriend Is Ignoring You

Being ignored by your boyfriend can feel worse than quarrelling with him. The sudden change in mood can feel like you’re receiving some form of wicked, slow, painful mental torture
. To move out of this torturous situation into a better feeling place, please continue reading this article…
Whether you know the reason why your boyfriend is ignoring you or not does not matter right now. Even though you have the choice to take the initiative to chase and call him to work things out, don’t do it until you have brought your own emotions into a better-feeling place of clarity and balance. While it is impossible to expect yourself to go back to ‘just being normal’, what you must strive for is some kind of inner peace where you feel you have regained a sense of your own power. Otherwise, you may end up saying and doing things that you later regret. Things that you would not have done if you had the ability to rationalize and think straight. Shouting is possibly one of the ugliest things that you can do. A sign that you are off balance is when you imagine you can win your boyfriend’s love back by shouting at him.
One way to get your emotions back into balance is to do something that helps you distract yourself. Watching a movie, walking in nature, taking a nap, reading a book, getting some exercise are some healthy options. Getting drunk is not a good way to try and distract yourself – because it can lead to even bigger problems (people tend to act out-of-the-ordinary when intoxicated). You may end up drunk texting or calling your boyfriend and making a fool of yourself. It’s not worth it if you hope to continue being in a relationship with him. It also does not lead to increased feelings of self-love and self-respect – something that you need to work on having more of if you want to get through this situation with feminine grace.
Still, if you still find yourself panicking, and not knowing what to do when your boyfriend is ignoring you, remember that you can always just stop what you’re doing for a moment, close your eyes, connect to your body and breathe. Put your focus on your breath. Notice the way that you are breathing. Then take one deep, long inhale, followed by one deep, long exhale. Just notice how it feels to know that despite this crisis, you are still here and breathing. When you have calmed down for a bit, remember the phrase ‘This too shall pass’. Then keep repeating it until you feel ready to face the world again. I know it hurts when your boyfriend is ignoring you. But you’ve got to take control of your own emotions. He can’t do that for you. And when your emotions are back in control, your naturally wise self will know what you need to do.
