Deep dives

The Role of Self-Deception in Breakups

Self-deception plays a significant role in breakups, whether romantic or non-romantic. When we fall in love, we often create false beliefs about our partner, idealizing them and thinking they are the only one for us. These self-deceptive thoughts can persist even after a breakup, causing us to struggle to let go and move on. It is important to evaluate our thoughts and beliefs about ourselves and our exes, recognizing that these beliefs may not be accurate or healthy. Being honest with ourselves and focusing on personal growth can help us overcome self-deception and navigate through the pain of a breakup more effectively.
