The 10 Fatal Mistakes You Make After A Breakup...
Going through a breakup can be really tough. You'll eat your weight in chocolate and won't give a fuck about anyone else around you or what they have to say on the matter. We shall say no more, but instead remind you of the fatal flaws you make after a breakup.
1) Hanging on to old memories.
However hard you think it might be, throw them all out and start again. For every good memory, there's bound to be seven bad ones.
2) Posting your sadness all over social media.
Trust me. No one wants to hear about it. What happens between two people is private and should stay that way. Splashing your business all over social media isn't helpful for anyone.
3) Putting yourself in the worst situations.
If you know your ex is gonna be at the party, just don't go. Or if you're desperate to go, then ignore him. It is 100% likely that it'll end in tears otherwise. You won't just ruin your own night, you'll ruin your friends night too.
4) Following your exes every move online.
It. Will. Drive. You. CRAZY. Like Crazy Eyes from Orange is the New Black, but just her eyes. Nobody likes a crazy stalker, or so I've heard.
5) Wallowing in self-pity.
Sometimes it can be amazingly comforting, but after a while you need to dust yourself off and get up and get out there. Life isn't going to stand still and watch you moan.
6) Hating every other couple you see.
You may want to throw ice cream at them, but the most mature thing to do is stay well away from date spots. You were once those people and you will be again. Feel the love.
7) Drinking yourself into oblivion.
Good short term, but not once the hangover kicks in. Then you'll feel physically AND emotionally like shit. Don't do it.
8) Not letting go.
If it's clear that you're not getting back together, then shake that fucker off and delete everything about him from your social media platform. Immediately.
9) Sleeping with someone for revenge.
They do say that getting under someone is the best way to get over someone else. However, this won't do your feelings any good when he doesn't call you ever again. In fact, you're going to end up feeling like shit and that's the last thing you need right now.
10) Becoming horribly cynical.
It's ok to be the most depressing human on earth for a week or so after you break up, but no one likes being friends with Mrs/ Mr Party Pooper for six months solid. Spend a seasoned amount of time moping and feeling sorry for yourself and then at least put on some sort of a front. Things can only get better.
