Featured Snippet: What mistakes should you avoid after a breakup?
You should avoid chasing your ex, breaking no contact, blaming yourself for everything, jumping into rebound relationships, and ignoring your healing needs.
Breakups are messy. Emotions run wild, logic takes a backseat, and suddenly you’re texting your ex at 2 a.m. asking if they miss you too. If you’re stuck in the post-breakup spiral, you’re not alone—but that doesn’t mean you should sabotage your healing.
Let’s talk about the five biggest breakup mistakes that might be quietly wrecking your recovery—and what you can do instead.
1. Breaking No Contact “Just This Once”
That one text. That one Instagram story view. That one “checking in” call. Sound familiar?
Breaking no contact is one of the most common post-breakup errors, and each time you do it, you re-open the wound. No matter how harmless it feels in the moment, it sets your healing back—sometimes by weeks.
If you’re struggling to stay strong, try a no contact timer or write a journal entry instead. Let the silence do the talking.
2. Blaming Yourself for Everything
When the relationship ends, some of us turn all the hurt inward. Maybe it was all my fault. If only I had… This is one of the cruelest ways we practice self-sabotage after a breakup.
Yes, self-reflection is important. But full-on self-blame? That’s a one-way ticket to shame town. Relationships end for many reasons—don’t shoulder it all alone.
3. Jumping Into a Rebound
Sometimes we mistake distraction for healing. Hooking up with someone new right away might feel like a power move, but often it’s just an emotional smokescreen.
Healing requires time, space, and a bit of awkward crying—not a brand new situationship.
Before you start swiping again, ask yourself: Am I seeking connection, or am I avoiding my pain?
4. Believing Your Ex’s Mixed Signals
They message you “just to see how you are.” They like your post, send a meme, ask if you’ve eaten. And suddenly, your heart is doing backflips.
We get it. It’s confusing. But chasing those breadcrumbs can derail your entire healing journey. Post-breakup errors like this keep you emotionally tethered when you should be untangling.
Their confusion isn’t your responsibility. Clarity comes from you—not from their late-night texts.
5. Thinking Healing Should Be Fast or Linear
No, you’re not “behind.” No, you shouldn’t “be over it by now.” The idea that healing is quick and clean is a myth.
Some days you’ll feel empowered. Other days, you’ll cry over a hoodie they left behind. Both are valid. Don’t rush your process, and don’t compare it to someone else’s.
Let your grief breathe. There’s no shame in taking your time.
