Destructive and Productive Things to Do After a Breakup

Breakups have become something normal to me. It’s no longer an earthquake-like event. It’s more like, oh, we’re not compatible, OK then, bye. But I’d still cry solitarily if I really like the person. Sometimes I’d cry for several days. Or weeks. Or months. In this post, I’d like to share what I know (from personal experiences, personal observation on friends’ experiences, and from reading books and articles) about how to deal with breakups. The first part is how to deal with it destructively and the second part is how to deal with it productively.
