Best method to get over breakups
Transcript
Is this the best method to get over a breakup? If you're feeling all down bad, if you're like, why me? This fucking sucks. What I want you to do, I used to do this all the tier, and it made me feel like a fucking bitch, but it really helped. Pull out your phone, open up your voice memo, turn it on, and talk about your feelings into your phone for as long as it takes. Might be five minutes, might be fucking tier. But hit that record button and just say, dude, I just I don't know what went rank, and I liked her so much, and I felt like I was doing the worst. Or maybe you screwed up. Maybe you messed around, and that's why it's over. Explain all your I just fucking spit. Explain all of your feelings, And then what I want you to do is stop it and go back and listen to it. Saying it out loud is essentially like taking the weight off your shoulders. You're removing that baggage from your bad, from your mind. But then once you go back and listen to it, you're gonna think, dude, I sound like the biggest fucking pussy right now. It's a good slap in the face. Let's get back to work.
