The first thing to do is to get your self up and stay strong. Don't throw yourself a pity party, where you are the only one invited. Do not listen to your heart, listen to your head! Embrace the fact that, this person is not coming back, and you do not need the closure. (common excuse people make to stay in touch with their former mates!) Endure your situation, and your state of mind!
Keep yourself extremely busy; try to do those things you've always wanted to do, or have not been able to do before, because you were not single. Find yourself hobbies that are taking your mind of your break up.
Try to leave the house more often, so nothing in there reminds you of the person you dated. Put all the pictures of you and your ex away, so it doesn't open your fresh wounds, and make you feel said and miserable.
Try to spent a lot of time with your family and friends, they are really there for you and have your best interest at heart. When you talked to your family and friends, try not to reminisce about ?good all times? you've had with your ex mate (this is not the time now my friend!)
Make plans with your single friends to go out in the evening to those? meet market? places, so you feel more comfortable to get back in to dating again. Avoid going out too much with your married friends, who will always remind you what you could've had, and the happy moments you've shared going out together. Ask your married friends for a psychological support, outside of the ?dating? places.
Try not to analyze and dwell about your broken relationship, that is only makes the matters worse, and make you feel angry and aggravated. It is good to let it out every now and then, but don't to make it in to an everyday drama!
Do not get to tempted to call your ex, when you feel lonely late at night; it won't work! You will end up feeling more miserable and wretched. You will either be rejected again, or will hear the dreadful things you do not want to accept!
Don't accept any propositions from your ex, to get together for a mutual physical satisfaction .It will only appear right for a moment, however in the morning or later on that day you will feel emotionally burdened. Don't think of spending some time together as convenience, while you are recuperating from the break up. It will only prevent you from getting over this person, and meeting someone new!
Eliminate phone calls from your ex, and do not initiate any contact yourself. It will prolong your emotional recovery as well! If you do get a phone call or you see him/her somewhere in a public place, try to shorten and minimize your conversation, so you do not get in to draining and uncomfortable situation.
Keep your integrity! Do not attempt to change the person's mind about the break up. Don't humiliate yourself by throwing yourself at him/her. Don't call and hung up on your ex; don't follow them around to see if they are with someone new. Don't promise your ex that you will change, because you won't! Later you will feel embarrassed, and force your ex to think that you're insane.
If you follow these ways of surviving the break up, you have a chance to move on quicker and less painful!
Is it possible to turn the tables and frustrate a telemarketer so much that they hang up on you? After a 6:30 am telemarketer call this morning, I was forced to ask myself this questions. The telemarketer must have been on the east coast, and have no respect for my clearly-west coast area code. I awoke from my slumber only to be deeply annoyed. And the damage was already done once I was awake. So I did some brain storming?
I decided that hanging up on a telemarketer is very easy, BUT there are many creative ways you can do this. However, sometimes a much deeper and real sense of victory occurs when you frustrate a telemarketer so much that they hang up on you. Below are some effective methods to achieve this:
? Put the telemarketer on hold indefinitely ? After the telemarketer greets you, let them talk for about 10 seconds and then tell them to hold because you have a call on the other line. Switch to the other line or put them on hold, but never come back.
? Be a know-it-all ? After each time the telemarketer makes a statement keep repeating ?I knew you were going to say that.?
? Static interference ? As soon as the telemarketer starts talking, go close to your T.V., put it on a channel that only receives static, and turn it up loud. Tell the telemarketer you can't hear them past the static interference so they are going to have to speak up. Keep repeating you can't hear them until they hang up.
? Pretend you don't understand ? Pretend you can't understand the telemarketer and keep repeating ?Yes, but I don't understand.. How does that work? Why would I be so lucky as to get this opportunity?? after they make a statement until they become frustrated enough and hang up.
? Sell the telemarketer something ? Cut the telemarketer off during their sales pitch and tell them that you are not interested in their product or service, but you have something that may be of interest to them. Begin selling them a product or service and tell them it's a deal they can't pass up. Don't take ?no? for an answer, and don't let them interrupt you.
? Offer the telemarketer a job ? Let the telemarketer go through their sales speech and then tell them that although you are not interested in buying the service/product, you were very impressed with their voice, and tell them you're a voice-over scout and ask them if they would be interested in a voice acting job.
? Use the same voice-over talent scout angle, but this time say that you work in the adult phone industry and they have the sexiest voice you have heard all month.
Successfully frustrating a telemarketer to the point that they hang up on you is a great way to stop telemarketers from controlling the conversation and will make them think twice before calling you again. So it is possible to turn the tables and frustrate a telemarketer so much that they hang up on you. One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind?
