Break ups can be a tough situation to deal with, especially in this
age of social media where we're all not just physically connected, but
also in virtual space via one social media account or the other.
You've
just got out of an intimate situation with someone, it's perfectly human
to be upset about it so don't let anyone talk you out of it (360nobs)
Chances are if you're above the drinking age limit, you've probably experienced a break up at some point or the other.
If you've not however, count your blessings.
Break
ups can be a tough situation to deal with, especially in this age of
social media where we're all not just physically connected, but also in
virtual space via one social media account or the other.
This
largely means that in a break up situation we not only have to go
through the withdrawal process physically, we also have to severe ties
online too.
By and large though, break ups vary
from one person to the other, while some are amicable, others are bitter
and drawn out, while there are cases where one party simply makes an
unannounced exit from their partner's life, also known as (aka)
"ghosting".
Regardless of which end of the spectrum one falls, it's never an easy process to severe emotional ties with anyone.
So, we've put together 7 points to guide anyone dealing with such a situation. Check them out.
1. Have a mourning period: You've
just got out of an intimate situation with someone, it's perfectly
human to be upset about it so don't let anyone talk you out of it. Allow
yourself some time to wallow in the emotions - cry, be angry, moody
whatever floats your boat. But only for a short while, then you must
snap out of it and focus on healing.
2. Avoid being alone:
With the mourning period over, avoid being alone as it gives you time
to think, then you start to reminisce on your time together, get sad
again and possibly get tempted to call, never a good idea especially if
it wasn't an amicable breakup. So avoid being alone, instead hang out
with friends and/or family.
3. Embark on a new project: Is
there something you've always wanted to do - learn a new language,
learn a new sport, take a course or even start a business? Seize the
opportunity and do so now. Find something you're really passionate about
and do it as this will keep your mind busy and distracted from the
breakup you're dealing with.
4. Create a better version of yourself: The
perfect revenge for a breakup is the ability to come out better whether
it's finally getting to lose that weight, landing that dream job,
setting up a business or even landing a much better catch. Petty? Maybe,
but it works wonders for the ego which is always a good thing. So, turn
an unpleasant situation around by focusing on creating a better version
of yourself whether its physically, spiritually or financially.
5. Try something completely out of character:
No, we're not talking about having a one night stand or anything like
that. It's the simple things like taking a new route to work, talking to
someone you normally don't talk to in the office or school, it could
even visiting another state. There's nothing more distracting or
fulfilling than trying something new.
6. Make new friends: Sometimes
the world can suddenly have a new meaning when we experience it from
someone else's perspective. So, make an effort to seek out new friends
and you'd be surprised at how much fun you'll have in the process.
7. Get rid of every reminder of your ex: Notice
how we've been harping on embarking on new experiences in the points
above? The last thing you need is a reminder of what put you in a
breakup situation in the first place, so delete, delete, block - phone
numbers, pictures, social media accounts, friends everything. Just keep
them away from immediate reach even if you don't want to delete.
