When was the last time you heard “You could do so much better,” or “I never liked him anyway” from a friend after a breakup? Friends really mean well, but then there are some annoying things they say when attempting to comfort people dealing with heartbreak.
Here are 16 things no one wants to hear after a break up, we promise you’ll be nodding the whole way through:
1. “Shey I warned you”
Not well enough obviously.
2. “Being single is not that bad”
You bloody liar
3. “You go dey alright”
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
4. “I never liked them anyway”
Is that what what we are on though?
5. “I knew it wouldn’t last”
Oshey, fortune teller.
6. “Relationships are not for everybody”
It’s like you’re crazy.
7. “You can do so much better”
You psycho.
8. “They probably cheated”
You have proof, bruh?
9. “There’s something wrong with them, obviously”
So how’s that helping me?
10. “Everything happens for a reason”
Is that the point?
11. “There’s plenty of fish in the sea”
Yes. And I just joined them
12. “At least you got good sex from the relationship”
Lucky me. -___-
13. “You need a more mature person in your life”
But did I ask you?
14. “*insert name here* is single now too”
Yes. That matters to me right now.
15. “At least you didn’t get married”
Look at me. I feel better already.
16. “You need to work on yourself”
I’m the hurt party here!!!
After a break up, no one really wants your advice just be there. Don’t try to be philosophical about it, just be there for them. That’s all anyone really needs.
