Realist– Realists believe that it doesn’t matter if the glass if half full or half empty, because we are all going to die anyway. They deal with relationships matter of factly, accept that whatever they had is gone, and move on without thinking too much about anything. The problem with this is that if you don’t think about things, you don’t feel them. I spent a good chunk of my life (12 years) living this way, and I can tell you first hand that you are supposed to have feelings, and it doesn’t make you stronger to deny them. So how does a realist deal with a breakup like a boss? Cry. Find friends that you trust, or friends that you want to become closer to, and cry on their shoulder. Being able to cry in front of someone is the strongest thing that you can do, and it is probably also the reason you are going through a breakup in the first place. Maybe if you show some emotion and caring, your ex will realize you aren’t such a cold, empty bitch (I am talking to you, Nicole Kidman) and take you back.
