Who do your friends turn into after a break up?
The Over Exaggerator
They’ll say things like“we were soooo good together,” when they clearly were not and dramatically declare they’ll never love again.
The Bitter One
They can no longer see anything good in the world and the relationship itself has become the reason why everything is just so awful. They will belittle everything and anything they can on the way to becoming the Grinch 2.0. Pull them back and show them that there is hope
The Drunken Mess
Okay, so many of us head straight to the bar when a relationship breaks but this person takes it a step further with stained clothes, lack of showering, constant drinking and lots of crying…just think of JGL after having a knife stuck in his heart in (500) Days of Summer.
Gender Hater
Their girlfriend/boyfriend has dumped them, therefore all women/men are absolute bitches/bastards.
The Hopeless One
Nothing makes sense, the world is a dire place. While it may feel like the worst, the breakup doesn’t mean that they’re condemned to being forever alone. It’s just hard for them to see that they’re going to be fine when their heart has recently been broken. It will fade away, but you’ll probably have to motivate them to go looking for someone new.
The Recluse
Your friend has become a self declared man in the iron mask, hiding behind curtains and not keeping any form of respectable hours. Respect is something they will probably lose for themselves for a while. Keep an eye on them now that you have identified the symptoms.
The Black Sheep
Hello friends, I’m baaahhhck. All through the relationship you rarely saw them yet now it’s over they are in your face 24/7. Now you wouldn’t mind generally because true friends put up with each other struggles but when they spend all that time talking about the break up, things can get a little….irritating.
The Cray Cray
Stalking exes, getting drunk and a general mix of all the other points in this article. If this is what your friends has become, take a firm right hand, extend it over your left shoulder and release a giant back handed wake up call to them. They need to get a grip and move on. While they are down they need to be told that its just life and they need to focus on the positives.
Eat, Sleep, Break Up, Repeat
This person has the ability to move on at record speed and will probably have had more relationships than you’ve had hot chicken rolls.
