The pain of a breakup is unbelievable. Whether it was by your own hand or someone else, the pain can be unbearable. The worst part is that you’re left feeling all alone and lost as to how you should move forward. With no one to talk to, there’s no one to share the same feelings with. Your feelings are all yours alone.
The single best way to recover from a breakup is to not let your emotions dictate how you feel. You’re going to be frustrated and upset, yes. But by shutting off other people’s words, gossiping or calling back, or even trying once again to win your partner back will only lead you astray. Take some time away from everyone that you love the most and do something for yourself. Go for a run, go swimming and enjoy the solitude.
Let us discuss why silence is powerful after a breakup and how it helps people heal.
- Helps you feel empowered
It’s hard to talk about a past relationship. It’s even harder when the person who was your partner is the one leading this walk. But breaking up or getting dumped is never easy, no matter how tough it gets at times. Staying silent can also help you feel empowered after a breakup. It gives you time to reflect, process emotions and begin moving on with your new life.
After a breakup, cutting off communication puts you in control, whether you were hurt or ended the relationship. Giving yourself a chance to heal and find perspective after a breakup sends a clear message.
- Makes them miss you
Silence is best when it comes to communicating. Whether it’s because you’re answering a question and don’t want to speak, or you just can’t find the words, silence serves as a great alternative. Silence also gives people time to think about your words and deliver what they want from you.
The power of silence is guaranteed to make your ex miss you, regardless of whether you want to get back together. It also makes them realise how they treated you and what went wrong from their end. So, silence is important for self reflection.
- Going No Contact
Stalking their posts, friends, or activity online after a breakup is the worst thing you can do. It only worsens your heartbreak and may expose you to things you aren’t interested in. It helps to keep your emotions from being fueled by your ex’s online presence. Swiping them off your social media accounts is part of committing to full no-contact. This step is crucial because it will help you mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Wrapping up
You do not need the person who hurt you to tell you that they hurt you, and that they are sorry. It is beautiful to get it, but you do not need it. Being silent about a breakup speaks volumes to your ex, although there is no easy way to handle it. It conveys that you don’t care about the relationship or their feelings; if you want to move on, then it’s best not to point out your ex’s many flaws. In fact, talking to them too much can make matters worse and make your ex think that they are still loved by you now – no matter how wrong they were in the first place.
