3 Bad Things Every Girl Does After A Breakup And 3 Good Alternatives

After a breakup things are tough, you spend the majority of your time with one person then all of sudden they’re gone. It can be difficult at first, most girls go a little loopy after a split. Here are the 5 bad things every girl does after a breakup and 5 alternatives to make sure you handle things the right way. Its ok to be upset, but do it whilst nobody’s watching, you got this!

1. Bad: You change your appearance

After a break up you tend to lose self-confidence, you feel like you want a fresh start, so what better way than to change your hair colour?  Most girls will make a drastic change to start a fresh chapter in their lives, but the reality is that changing hair colour shows you are desperately trying to be someone new, love yourself for who you are, you do not have to change.

2. Bad: You go on tinder

Quite often after a breakup girls will turn to Tinder for an ego boost. As the saying goes” You have to get under someone to get over someone.” Tinder is the perfect place to find yourself a rebound, but it’s not wise to move on so quickly. Of course take all the compliments you need but if you become a serial dater you will never get over your ex, you will just compare him to every bad date. You need time to heal after a breakup, so delete the dating apps and be on your own for a while. You should learn to love yourself and be happy alone before rushing into something new.

3. Bad: You text your ex

Most girls have gotten drunk after a break up and sent a message that they wish they could unsend. It’s that cringey moment when you wake up the next morning and realise what you’ve done, you want the ground to open up and swallow you. When you no it’s over, delete his number!

1. Good: Pamper yourself/ Get your nails done

If you’re feeling a little down in the dumps it’s always a good idea to pamper yourself. Some people lose confidence after a break up, so it’s a good idea to take care of yourself. You should eat well, put on a face mask, get a massage, paint your nails, cleanse and tone your skin then put on some false tan. When you feel good on the outside you will start to feel good on the inside too.

The best thing to do after a breakup is to see your friends.  Make sure to surround yourself with people you love, that way you will do just fine!
