Manifesting the love of your life to come back and forgive you?

Bullshit or possible?

I am pretty cut up about it.

WarrickDavisAsPlates · 22/07/2022 22:16

Why don't you just send them a message or call them and apologise?

That will probably work better than sitting at home imagining things.

FriendlyPineapple · 22/07/2022 22:19

Yeah that sounds like nonsense

Piratical · 22/07/2022 22:19

I’m no mage, this is something only mages can answer 🙃

Dotcheck · 22/07/2022 22:21

If you cheated/ treated him badly/ whatever , either apologise and leave it at that, or just leave them in peace

Aquamarine1029 · 22/07/2022 22:25

What did you do that you want forgiveness for?

Watchkeys · 22/07/2022 22:37

Or you could just accept responsibility for the consequences of what you've done.

Pinkjacket22 · 22/07/2022 22:59

This is not something I would do at night time as dont tend to make the best decisions when I am tired. Why don't you sleep on it and then talk it through with a trusted friend? Not advice I've ever taken I might add Wink

Fairislefandango · 22/07/2022 23:02

Manifesting things isn't real. Sorry you are upset about your break-up though.

TheCaddieisaBaddie · 22/07/2022 23:06

You can't manifest someone else - little thing called free will. If it's meant to be then it will work out, trust in that.

This.
You can try and fix it but manifesting stuff is just made up.. it's not real.

AnneLovesGilbert · 22/07/2022 23:07

What did you do?

BlazingRufus · 22/07/2022 23:08

Leave them in peace, behave better next time.

ToastedWaffle · 22/07/2022 23:19

What does it mean? How do you manifest someone else's actions? Is this a current buzz word?

layladomino · 23/07/2022 10:57

Another way of wording your question (based on the limited inof we have of course) is:

'I did something wrong and my partner left me. I now want to control them virtually to force them back to me, even though consciously they don't want to be with me.'

Is that what you really want? Can you see that, even if 'manifesting' was a thing (it's not), it would be horribly unethical and controlling?

Maggit · 23/07/2022 11:00

I think that if you're that cut up about things that believing this will help, yeah go ahead. It won't work. If you've done things that require forgiveness, focus on those things and how you can learn from it.
Leave your ex alone though.

Any minute now this thread is going to manifest a spam bot advertising the services of a with doctor.

OP why don't you start a thread explaining what led to your relationship breakdown and asking for advice on whether you should try to repair things.

Pinkbonbon · 23/07/2022 12:47

You cannot manifest changes in other people's feelings. People have free will.

I do believe you can manifest opportunities. Opportunities that may or may not pay off depending on various factors such as whether or not you sieze them. But manifesting cannot make someone forgive you if they do not wish to.

I do belive it can be possible to engineer things like chance meetings. Like, when you are thinking about someone and thry happen to walk past you in the street. I think the world has a synchronicity like that. That would be an example of manifesting an opportunity. But opportunities have limitations.

Johnnysgirl · 23/07/2022 12:54

Manifest? Do you know what it means?!

twelveactions · 23/07/2022 13:08

@Tewwwq OP, I was into this all last year. I even paid for coaching and courses to "manifest your SP back" (specific person). I was heavily involved in it until I scared myself because I was going through a bad time and thought that those thoughts I was having would manifest too.

I ended up getting back with my bf, because we spoke every single day and tbh I worked very hard at amending things. I did try to "manifest" others to test it worked, and it worked with some people and not others. It's purely confirmation bias, my brain just decided to remember the things I had manifested and not things I hadn't.

Above is the voice of reason.

If you haven’t apologised and made amends (it sounds like you haven’t), why would any power or force bring that person back to you? And why would you want to put this person through that if the original problem was never resolved? Are you thinking of them or just yourself?

IncompleteSenten · 23/07/2022 15:54

I had to Google it.

Do you mean this?

Because that. That. Is weapons grade bullshit.

ExclamationMarc · 23/07/2022 16:07

Whether you manifest it or not there is a 50-50 chance it might happen and when it doesn't happen there will be a 101 reasons why it didn't come true... such as not manifesting right or not believing it or wanting badly enough or the universe has other plans....also I thought these witchy magical things state that they don't apply to changing a person's free will because that then is in the realms of black magic or something.....
If you're looking at things like that it sounds you're quite vulnerable and might be taken advantage of your desperation and pain. Apologise to them sincerely and after that you just have to give it to God, universe or whatever you believe in. You have to respect people's own choices and timelines for forgiveness (or not).

What’s with all the bot-esque threads about this dated, self indulgent fad?

daydream all you want, it’s fine. Thinking your daydreams can make someone do something is…

Try a better hobby.

I think it's because of the rise of LOA & manifestation. I was pretty deep in it too. It's very harmful.

MrsTerryPratchett · 23/07/2022 18:00

It's deeply unpleasant.

Either it's bullshit, and raising false hope in suggestable people (true) or it's not and you are using the universe to force someone to do something against their interests, even though you acknowledge you fucked up <shudder>

Even if you believe this nonsense, it's awful.
