Sad affair, I think I'm slightly addicted to a person (contact with them, mainly just chatting and shit) alas that person is no longer available to be my friend and now the question is how do I keep away from them/minimalize my "I miss you" feels.
How long does it usually take you to get over a person who was in your life for years?

Find someone else.
Loss is difficult, but we all have to do it.
Pining for something you can't have only hurts you, anon. Help yourself, don't hurt yourself.
Do something that'll distract you. I usually start writing when I need to get my mind off of a crush I can't have.
Here for advice as well as I am a psychotic female when it comes to male partners (think classic comic Harley Quinn styled dependency).

How do you feel about Harley Quinn?
>>17410326
I love her because I feel I identify alongside her as a character in many ways. I also enjoy her Suicide Squad portrayal because I adore Margot Robbie and look forward to it and the trailers with her and Leto turn me the fuck on because I'm essentially psychotic.
But I do cosplay as her because I'm bisexual with mental issues (however mine are treated and no longer need medication). I do however still struggle with dependency in relationships, ending them, having healthy relationships, recognizing abuse, etc. Great character though. Not enough credit given.

I'm not a professional, and I don't want to make huge assumptions and bold statements about your case. I don't know you, and I'll probably never meet you.
But I've seen a lot of people in recent years who identify with a character so deeply that they try to emulate that character's personality traits in real life. At a certain point, the idolization becomes a part of their core personality.
This is dangerous, of course, because the same traits that are cool and appealing in fictional characters are often off-putting and undesirable in real people.
I'm not going to tell you to stop liking Harley Quinn, and it sounds like your troubles go a bit deeper than being a fan of a character.
But my only advice would be to put some real mental distance between the Harley Quinn in the comic books and the real you.
