How to Break Up: It doesn't have to be that hard to do
The increase in technology has completely changed the way people are communicating now days. Even though I’m young, I remember when cell phones were mostly used to communicate with each other incase of an emergency. Or one person in the family was going to going on a trip and needed a cell phone to keep in touch. Now, you see kids running around with cell phones that are bigger than their hands. They are always on their phones and get mad when someone tells them to put it up. By always contacting people on the phone, your communication skills take a big plunge. You might be the best at texting but you are worst when it comes to taking to people face to face. There is nothing like having a conversation with them the old fashion way. You don’t truly know someone’s emotions behind a screen. They can be telling you that they are fine when in reality they need someone to hear and give them advice. On a personal note, I think that you do need phones but there’s a limit on how and when you use it. If I have the option and the opportunity to see a person face to face, I will take it. There isn’t anything like resolving things/problems in person and most of the times you can come to an agreement. That demonstrates that you are no coward and you are not scared of facing anything. A lot of people rely on texting bad information like break ups because they are scared of the consequences that their actions may have, especially teenagers. For most of them, their relationships start online and they think that it should end the same way. As they grow up, this becomes a habit. I don’t think that breaking up through a text or any other form is the right thing to do. It becomes more awkward when you run into the other person in public places. You always end up seeing people that you thought that you were never going to see again for the rest of your life. I have some friends that take another way out, rather than texting them that it’s over they simply ignore them. They say that they should get the message after they don’t answer or text back. I just find this ridiculous because the other person’s love could possibly turn into hate.

One important factor that you should take into consideration is that they are also humans and have feelings too. Just because you don’t feel the same as you did before (if you dated for a long time), doesn’t mean that you have to be mean/cruel to them. It’s better to start to tell them how you feel (what you liked and what you didn’t) and the reasons that you’re making that decision. Of course they are going to be heart broken but it’s better to be honest than to continue living a lie. If you just met this person, breaking up or telling them that you’re not interested in them is easier than most people think. You just have to say that you enjoyed their company but there is little or nothing in common between you two and that the relationship will not lead anywhere. The other person is going to slowly accept that you were not meant for each other and it was better for it to end. Most people would rather be told the truth than be lied to or even led on even more. You never know the outcome; that person might no be your soul mate but you might just become best friends.
