It’s totally normal to make some questionable decisions post-split \u2014 you’re feeling lost, hurt, and less confident than usual. So to help you navigate this tricky\u00a0breakup<\/a>\u00a0world, we’ve rounded up some of the common landmines you’ll want to avoid.<\/p>\n Just think of us as that helpful friend who pulls you back whenever you’re about to do something you’ll probably regret \u2014 like dying your hair green because he HATED the color green (um, so will you when it’s on your head). Here, what not to do after a breakup:<\/p>\n Blow up his phone with several calls and texts per day.<\/strong>\u00a0This is kind of like stalking, so, if he isn’t calling you back, hang up the phone. Also, you have better things to do!<\/p>\n Eat your feelings.\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, Chinese food would go great with the four hours of Netflix you plan to watch tonight, but making this an every night thing is not healthy. Plus, it won’t make you feel better \u2014 just bloated.<\/p>\n Drink your feelings.\u00a0<\/strong>Chances are you girlfriends will want to take you out for cocktails to vent, chat, and celebrate your singledom. One happy hour is fine, but not a week of tequila-induced sloppy nights. You\u2019ll just feel worse once you sober up. Plus, a broken heart and a hangover don\u2019t mix well.<\/p>\n Sleep with the next guy who buys you a drink.\u00a0<\/strong>Random hookups are always a little risky, but when you\u2019re hot on the heels of a breakup, you\u2019re even more likely to wake up feeling worse. Plus, who is this guy? You are way too hot for him! At least wait it out a little!<\/p>\n Reconnect with other exes.<\/strong>\u00a0Girl, you aren\u2019t with them for a reason. Remember that time he flaked on your grandma\u2019s funeral? Not cool. It\u2019s natural to be craving something comfortable and reassuring right now, but it\u2019s also pretty selfish to turn to an ex for that if you\u2019re not really interested in getting back together.<\/p>\n Obsess over his new girlfriend.<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s not her fault (well, probably not). Plus, one of the best\u00a0ways to get over a split the healthy way<\/a>\u00a0is to take some responsibility for whatever part you played in the breakup\u2014not blame it on that new chick who keeps popping up in his profile pictures.<\/p>\n Take it public.\u00a0<\/strong>It\u2019s one thing to vent to your buddies, but publicly ranting isn\u2019t cute, not even online. And grandiose public pleas can be just as risky\u2014take it from Robin Thicke\u2019s recent breakup saga<\/a>.<\/p>\n
