So you got dumped. Maybe you could move on with your life. Get a grip and walk through work, college, and so forth. But every you log onto an online website to update your status or see what your chums are up to, there he is.

It is a hard reminder of your break up. Each time you sign on and see an image of him out hitting on girls from last weekend or one of those nauseatingly cute photos of him with his new squeeze, it makes you want to just delete your account and crawl under a stone.

Well, what can you do? You can not just become a digital hermit, right? Here are a few tips about No Contact after breakup.

The first thing you must understand that un-friending him or blocking him is only about to make you seem angry or like there’s a lot of negative emotions between you. If you have any aim of staying in touch or getting together again, this is not what you need to do.

Instead, change your display settings so you don’t get updates from him. You can stay friends with somebody in most social networks without being bombarded by their updates. You also have to have the power to not actively look at his account for the moment too.

Let’s face it, you need time to recover from the split and pull your life back together. Consistently being reminded of him and how he’s moving on isn’t going to help. This is actually the right way to control yourself online during the next few weeks until you’re feeling prepared to open the lines of contact again.

If you’d like to get him back, you also need to carry on using your social networking internet sites to color a positive image of your life. Post pictures of you being happy and outgoing.

Avoid posting those esoteric, depressing status updates like “You think you had the last laugh, but karma is real.” Not only will no one really know who this is aimed at, and also seems incredibly negative (not something you need people associating with you).

So the best plan is to restrict your exposure to your ex in the weeks following the break up. You also want to portray a positive and upbeat perspective online since this may make it appear like you are a hopeful person rather than a downer.
