How do I stop comparing everyone I meet to my ex?

Comparing new people to your ex is a normal part of the healing process process, especially if the relationship was significant. Your brain is trying to make sense of what you liked and didn't like about your past relationship. This comparison often decreases as you gain more distance from the breakup and develop new connections. Try to notice when you're making comparisons and gently redirect your attention to getting to know the new person for who they are, not how they measure against your past.
