How to Survive a Break-up


As usual I have nothing to do at work again. So I was browsing the net & found this interesting topic. I didn't read the book/article though. Thought I'd have my own take on this.

1. Be real.

C'mon dude. I never believed that you can have a break-up w/o hard feelings. Be real. If you hate him then hate him. Do not hold it back. Do not pretend, not just to other people but most especially yourself, that it's ok. Don't pretend you are friends. Don't try to be nice. Be honest. Don't be fake. Why? This will ensure that all your feelings are brought out in the open. This is a way for you to get over these awful feelings, to not pretend they don't exist.

2. Do not expect.

Think it's over. Believe it's over. He's not a part of your life anymore. He's a nobody. Do not compare your life to his life. Do not relate anything to him. He's a stranger.

3. Do not be friends w/ him.

This will help you a great deal so stop being nice. Tell him directly you don't want to have any contact w/ him anymore. Do not think about what he will feel. Think of yourself. Think how much easier you'll get over him when he is not present in your life.

4. Beware of rebounds.

Do not get into a new relationship for the wrong reasons. And you know what these reasons are. Do not use another guy to fill your loneliness, man-dependency, ego, pride, etc.. Date around but do not settle for another jerk just because of a past jerk.

So there, parang bitin noh? But I can't think of anything else. I believe these cover everything anyways ;)
