Very few people are lucky enough to have their first relationship as the one that lasts forever and never face the trauma of breakup. Most of us have to go through the more difficult queue. For some, it is a choice they are forced to make, whereas for others, it just happens. No matter what the reason is, a matter what people think, a breakup is as difficult for a guy as it is for a girl. Yes, a guy may not cry his heart out like most girls, but that does not mean that he is hurt any lesser. In extreme cases, some people lose their mind completely, some become heartbroken to the point of never being able to do anything else in life, while some even choose to commit suicide. Life is a gift and no matter what, we should all appreciate it. Hence, if you’ve gone through a breakup, here are a few tips which will help you survive through it.

1. Never be alone

Being alone leads to loneliness, and that eventually leads to chronic depression. When you are alone, you get all the time to think about your ex and miss those moments. Hence, always have company. Be with your family, friends, etc. Do things with them and do not allow yourself to be lost in thoughts and be sad.

2. Keep yourself busy

An idle mind is a devil’s workshop, and if you have recently had a breakup, the devil works with twice the enthusiasm. Therefore, always try to keep yourself busy. Go out with friends, watch movies, do extra work at office, study harder, or do whatever keeps your mind busy. Just don’t let the thoughts of your ex haunt you at any moment.

3. Avoid the ex

Avoid doing anything or going anywhere that reminds you of your ex. Try to take a different route to work, eat at different restaurants, go to different clubs, etc. Breakups do come at a price, and you sadly, one has to pay it. Also, absolutely avoid going to spots where couples are usually seen dating, etc. Trust me, when you are filled with misery, you don’t want to witness this.
