Breakups. Even the most amicable of parting ways can sting. When mourning the end of a relationship, be sure to avoid the following “don’ts” of breakup etiquette. 分手了。即便是以最和平的方式还是会感到刺痛。在为一段关系的结束而难过时,别忘了分手的规矩,千万别做下面这8件事。 1. Pretend you’re fine. 假装你很好 Let yourself mourn. Cry. Punch a pillow. Journal. Surround yourself with friends who listen. The temptation may be to pretend you’re unaffected by the breakup; don’t let pride get in the way of being real. You don’t have to sob at the office, but take some quiet moments to reflect and be honest with yourself. It’s okay to be angry, hurt or humiliated. It’s healthier to express yourself honestly than grow numb. 允许自己伤心、哭泣、摔打枕头、写日记、向周围的朋友倾诉。有时候你也许想假装自己面对分手若无其事;别让自尊心掩盖了真实的自己。不是说让你在办公室啜泣,但是可以静一静,给自己点时间坦诚地面对自己。感觉愤怒、痛苦或羞愧都是正常的。和伪装麻木相比,真诚地表现自我更健康。 2. Try to be just friends 试着做“普通朋友” Very rarely can a breakup lead to a solid friendship, and until you’re okay with the idea of your ex dating someone new, you’re not ready to be pals. |
