This is how you can end a toxic relationship without being nasty

A break-up can affect you in many ways like you go through crying spells, have problems sleeping, eat unhealthy foods, feel social withdrawal, give up on enjoyable activities and have low self-esteem. According to research it is shown that breakup affects brain which can actually cause physical pain.


Dr. Sapna Bangar said, “Research has shown that the brain areas that get affected after a painful breakup are similar to the ones that cause actual physical pain.”


The doctor further added, “Try not to be negative about either the person or the relationship. Choose a right time and place, talk about what both of you gained from this relationship and try not to blame anyone for the break-up. Be clear about your intentions for moving on, as you don’t want to give your ex-partner any false hopes.”


Naavnidhi K Wadhwa explained, “Our brain reads rejection like physical pain, which weakens our immune system. Stress affects our metabolism rate, which leads to poor digestion and weight gain. Sometimes, people tend to shut down their emotions and corner themselves, which leads to an identity crisis.”


Naavnidhi K Wadhwa further said, “When two people are involved in a relationship, they owe a justification to their partner for ending it. Coming to a conducive end will make the process less painful and give clarity to both the individuals. Ask and listen to your partner’s reason. During this conversation, be patient and support your partner if they act upset or unhappy.”


Naavnidhi K Wadhwa advised, “Take a break. Spend time with friends and family who love and value you. Try meditation, indulge in leisure activities or practice sports to cope with the situation.”
