Why are breakups so hard to get over?

Because you gave your whole heart. And breaking up is like breaking your own heart. And because it's already part of who you are. It's a wound. Not all wounds are easy to heal. Their healing depends on how deep it is.

Because its a break-up from a person whom you have loved and cared for and when you have to go away from them or when they leave you, its difficult to get over.

Sounds like your heart is hurting. We're all wired to desire to be in relationship, and when one comes to an end we miss the good experiences and sense of loving and being loved. Talking about the breakup often times helps us figure out our feelings.. I'm willing to listen . . .

I feel breakups are hard to get over because as humans we get used to people and certain routines and when that pattern is disrupted we become highly upset. We like something about that person and when that person leaves or you left, we just miss it that trait and feel like there is no one else that has it. You could have depended on that person for happiness and when they are gone you might feel like they took it with you and it can be a long process to find it again. It also effects are self esteem and we question everything about ourselves making us confused on top of hurt and it's too much for someone to handle.

Breakups are so difficult because they mark an end in a connection that you never thought could be broken. When someone breaks up with you or vise versa, you/ they make a conscious decision that they no longer want that other person in their lives. That can be hard when you feel like you had an emotional connection. But in the end, even though you may feel sad and frustrated that person no longer wants you in their life, if you cared for them deeply then the only thing you can do is respect that person's choice and move on with your life.

Going through a break up is hard. It'll be hard to get over because for one you probably still have feelings for this person, and second you put in all this time into one person and then you suddenly don't have them anymore. Even if you are still friends, you might just miss being in a romantic relationship with them.

Because it means leaving the habit, the routines, that we used to do. And thats really hard. Habits are made cus we are doing it for long time. When it breaks, we feel losing something. Empty. But its not forever. Human live with conditioning. so make ourselves feel good even though we are doing what we are not used to do.

I think the reason they're so hard to get over is because the person you were with kind of became a part of you, and when you lose that part of you it's like a missing piece of a puzzle.

It actually has to do with chemicals in your brain. When you love someone it’s sort of like your brain is on drugs and when you don’t have that person in your life your brain goes through withdrawals.

Breakups tend to be harder to get over when you've invested in the person or had long-term plans to be with them. Sometimes, it's about losing the person, while other times it's about losing the dreams we had about the person and the life we had. Scientifically speaking, our positive interactions with a SO give us a boost of good hormones, like oxytocin. When those abruptly stop, we can legitimately feel withdrawal or a pain from the loss as well.
