What Happens If You Jump Into A New Relationship Right After A Breakup?

Basically, when we're addicted to something or really want it badly, we usually find a way to get it or at least satisfy that desire somehow. But when it comes to being addicted to a person, there's nothing in the world that can replace them. So you might wonder, "Can't you just find someone else and replace them?"

The thing is, there is no one else out there who can replicate the way this person makes you feel. Their way of talking, looking, acting, and all those other little things that make them who they are, define their uniqueness.

Imagine being the only person in the world like you. Now, if someone gets addicted to you, they are drawn to all those unique qualities that make you, well, you.

So, when you become addicted to this special individual, there is no way to simply pay or buy your way out of it. That is why going through a serious breakup and experiencing that intense heartache is so incredibly tough. Your mind recognizes that there is no replacement for that deep need you felt for them.

No matter how many times you get turned down, even if you realize it is not worth sticking around, you still cling to that person as tightly as you can. You hold on to every little thing about them, no matter how small.

In situations like these, it really hurts. Your brain keeps sending you a message that you will not get those special things you want or that things will never be the same again. Meanwhile, your mind fiercely tries to protect what you had, and that protection comes in the form of intense pain. It is tough because you have adapted your whole world around them.

It is just so awful and agonizing. As I mentioned in the earlier article, the reason that it hurts so much is because these genuine love relationships can be addictive. (Even if it is not just true love relationships, other types of relationships can become addictive without us realizing it.) But when it comes to women or young women, they tend to go through this process the most. It is because they often form strong attachments to someone they really feel a connection with, no matter what that attraction may be. As time goes on, the chances of getting attached to the special things that a person offers become pretty high. They become addicted to things that guys might not necessarily prioritize, like caring, attention, and quality time spent together.

There is something interesting when it comes to psychology related to relationships and breakups. Psychology explains that the mental activity involved in drug addiction and being addicted to a person is pretty much similar. Like, if you are craving someone so bad that it consumes your thoughts and desires, it is like everything else that is important to you, like food, sleep, and happiness, takes a backseat. It's like you have become addicted to that person, plain and simple.

It all starts with that initial attraction. As you spend more time with them, experiencing those unique and special feelings, your mind starts to adapt to a whole new plan. You start living off of their character and the emotions connected to them in that plan. When our mind constantly receives something that satisfies it, it naturally becomes a vital ingredient for your well-being. Basically, your mind and your body, which follow the mind's lead, undergo changes that make you dependent on that person. It's just like any other addiction, really.

When someone unexpectedly leaves you, or things change between you two, why cannot we just easily find someone else to fill that void and meet our needs?

The rebound relationships people jump into fairly quickly after a breakup are often end up being temporary. At first, there is this sense of curiosity and excitement, but after a while, when things start to settle down and become normal, the person who was once feeling unloved or addicted in their previous relationship starts comparing themselves and their new partner's behavior. (At first, there is a sense of curiosity and excitement, but after a while, things start to settle down and become normal. Then the person who was once feeling unloved or addicted in their previous relationship starts comparing themselves and their new partner's behavior.) Even if some individuals end up getting married to their second partner, deep down, they have not really moved on mentally from their past relationship. It is actually something we come across quite a bit in private sessions.

When you go through a breakup and quickly jump into another relationship, chances are you still have feelings and thoughts about your ex lingering in your mind. As time passes, you might not be able to bring out your absolute best in the new person & in the relationship. To really make that bond successful, you have to let go of that intense need you had for your ex from your mind and develop those same feelings for the new person. You need to be attracted to that person. This takes quite a bit of time. That is because these kinds of changes in the mind do not happen over a day or two. And when it comes to dealing with addiction, well, it is even trickier.

When a relationship comes to an end, you can make an agreement with your mind to think differently. Then, take some time away from the other person by going No Contact. During this period, focus on your own growth and slowly detach your mind from that person.

After about a month of following the No Contact rule, you might start to feel a bit more stable mentally. The pain will lessen, and you will begin to adjust to relying on yourself instead of being dependent on them. But it is going to take a few more months to truly solidify that new mindset.

Once you've reached that point of stability and have embraced a healthy mentality, you'll be ready to dive into a new relationship with the right mindset. You will be starting fresh with a positive outlook without getting stuck in that addiction. Once you have gone through all that I mentioned earlier, your mind will not be comparing your new relationship to the old one.

No more comparisons!

No matter how deep you were into that addiction, and no matter how strong your feelings were, you can 100% break free from that situation. That means that person will not have any hold over you anymore. You will not dwell on the memories or feel hurt by the past when you walk away from that relationship. To that, you need to change your mindset. Your mind needs to adjust to these changes.

I will bring more details about that in future articles. Stay tuned!

If you are young, chances are you will come face to face with these kinds of experiences at some point in your life. It is something many of us go through, maybe even multiple times. Even if it is not talked about enough, it can really mess with your mind and turn your life upside down in a negative way.

But everyone has the power to turn it around and make it a positive starting point. You can use these articles to learn more about breakups and how to get back on track.

Remember, your life is valuable!
