It's understandable that you're
trying to help your bestie out, but
sometimes it's best to just *be
there* and avoid saying these
common —
1. Everything happens for a
reason. Really? Is there any good reason for someone to feel
completely devastated?!
2. I knew he/she was a jerk.
Thanks. Not helping.
3. You're better off without
them. It doesn't mean it still doesn't hurt.
4. You'll get over it. Obviously at some point in time you will get over
your ex, but right now is not
that time.
5. OMG THAT'S SO HORRIBLE OMG
ARE YOU LIKE, LOSING YOUR
MIND?!?! Oh, thanks for making it
6. I know exactly how you feel.
Doubt it.
7. There are a million other guys/
girls out there. Right now it's hard to think about anyone else.
8. Aw, that sucks! I really liked him/
her! OK SO NOW I DO HAVE A REASON TO BE SAD?!
9. OMG, why? Does it even matter?
10. I kinda knew you guys wouldn't
last — no offense. Wow, that's cold.
11. There are bigger things to worry
about — you'll be fine! There's nothing wrong with acknowledging
how painful it is to go through a
breakup! It is a big deal
12. Being single is so much better.
13. You were way too good for
them anyway. As nice as this sounds, it still doesn't help.
14. Maybe you'll get back together
some day. Just ... stop.
