If you have ever been through a breakup, you know how hard they are. Two years ago I went through two breakups in a year and that was so hard. One of them was with the love of my life. He is getting married this summer and I’m so excited for him because he found an amazing woman. After every breakup, I’ve done something to change my appearance. Most of the time it was a cut and color. Apparently, this is normal.
According to Yahoo News, there is a lot of psychology behind a breakup makeover. The experts in the article said you need to refind your identity after a breakup and that’s why most folks turn to makovers. Our brains think by making that change, you’ll be able to get over your ex easier because they will be jealous of the way you look. Sometimes we even explore new hobbies and such to try and redefine ourselves.
By no means am I an expert on psychology, but I can see this working in folk’s lives. I really haven’t dated much, but I’ve been through plenty of breakups with my friends. They have redefined themselves after the breakups. I have only changed my hair. I haven’t done anything else crazy because I’m very confident with who I am. I don’t let a man define me in a relationship… which sounds weird. My goal is to find someone that I can be happy as my individual self and they can too, but together we are happy as well. I truly think independence in a relationship is very important. What are your thoughts?
