I think I can get past things.

What about you?

That's kind of a fun expression in English that we use with poor grammar.

Yes, a lot of sports are that way.

I'm coaching basketball right now.

And this will happen if a girl misses a shot or trips and falls in front of people and they're embarrassed and they get in their heads and they start playing really terribly.

And a coach might say this, like, you've just got to get past it and focus on the game.

Forget about it.

Yeah, for sure.

This is a little more harsh, right?

It means to get over, you recover from disappointment or sadness, some kind of obstacle.

But it is a little more harsh.

It's a little less understanding of the emotion, right?

Or I'm going to have a hard time getting over this breakup.

So those are ways like that to actually to say to someone, get over it.

It's kind of mean.

You're sort of giving no understanding for them going through something that's difficult.

Right.

But these where we're saying it about ourselves, like, oh, it takes a while to get over.

That's different.
