Is your ex orbiting your social media? 4 creative ways to make them stop

-

Every relationsh­ip creates a range of memories be it positive, negative or a combinatio­n of both. So, after a breakup, it’s natural for people to take time in moving on and processing the end of their relationsh­ip. However, some people may not be able to let go of their attachment towards their ex-partner and often stalk them.

“Stalking hampers those who have come out of a difficult relationsh­ip or who have excessive past baggage of their failed relationsh­ips” says Sybil Shiddell, country manager India of Gleeden.

“In today’s social media driven world, it’s hard to stop a person from viewing your personal content but there are certainly a few ways that can be followed to keep your exes at bay,” she further adds.

Here are four creative ways you can keep your ex away from your social media.

Hide any lovey-dovey posts

It might be easier said than done but take that extra step to hide your lovey-dovey posts can help protect your emotional health and make sure your ex doesn’t try to reach out based on something they saw online. Choose photos without them

If you’re posting a throwback photo, pick one with friends instead of one with your ex in it. This is a great way to start blocking them out. Sending a lasting message with block and delete

If you’re sick of seeing your ex’s name show up in all the wrong places, it’s time to block and delete away. You can send a clear message by blocking your ex on all the socials you use.

Keeping your posts relevant and distractio­n-free

“When it comes to separating yourself from your ex, the key is to remain firm and take proactive steps to protect yourself. It will help you to gain control of your online presence,” concludes Sybil.
