Social media is incredibly problematic for people going through breakups. When you’ve just ended it with somebody, you’re fragile, easily influenced and lonely. You’re not in the normal, stable state of mind you have to be in to brush off all of the tragic stories, nasty comment fights and engagement announcements on Facebook. You certainly aren’t strong enough to see any post from your ex. If he so much as checks into a restaurant you think that he is not taking this breakup very seriously!

Social media is a miserable place for the heartbroken, but you can make it even more miserable if you partake in common post-breakup habits. Here is how to navigate social media after a breakup.
