How To Survive A Breakup ...By Reducing Your Dependence

Regardless of the situation, we all want to know how to survive a breakup faster after experiencing one. Why does it seem so hard and why does it take so slow to recover and move on?

Although breakups are of course a case-to-case basis, there are some common things people do while in the relationship which makes recovering very difficult after a breakup.

They say loving someone is like investing in the stock market. If you invest all of your money in it and lost, how would you feel? It would feel awful because you will have nothing left.

In the same way, investing your emotions and becoming emotionally dependent on your partner during the relationship can definitely break you. Completely depending on your partner to feel good would really make it difficult for you to do so once you lose the person.

Dependence is what makes surviving a breakup so difficult?

Being emotionally dependent is one of the reasons why a lot of people find difficulty in quickly recovering from a breakup. The following are things you might have been doing while in the relationship which eventually led you to become emotionally dependent on your partner:

1. Dropping your hobbies and other interests: Being with someone can make some forget their other interests which make them happy too. They tend to forego old hobbies and concentrate their entire time around their partner. Eventually, these people will become dependent on their partner only to feel good. Losing their partner will then surely mean a loss of happiness.

2. Contacting your friends less often: Whether intentionally or unintentionally, most couples get too caught up with each other and make the mistake of weakening their connection to their friends. This makes you solely depend on your partner for your social and intimacy needs, which is very unhealthy. Losing your partner would then consequently make you feel all alone.

3. Making your world revolve only around your partner: People have become extremely dependent on their partner emotionally that they focus only on their partner and stop doing anything useful for themselves. These people who make their partners the centre of their lives are also the same people who will suffer the most after a breakup.

Use This To Make Surviving A Breakup Easy

Upon knowing what makes it difficult to quickly recover from a breakup, you should do what you can to avoid them as much as you can while being in a relationship. Also in my book “How To Get Over Anyone In Less Than A Week Using Psychology” I show how these and other reason make people feel bad after a breakup.

It’s important to understand these reason because they have nothing to do with “love” for the other person but rather have to do with fears, worries, insecurities etc inside you which need to be fixed first in order to get over a breakup.

You need to refrain from making your life, happiness, and everything that you have depend on a partner. Remember, a healthy relationship should allow you to grow and expand your horizons, not make your world smaller and secluded.
