  • Well some people, when they go through a break up, get all sad because they were attached that relationship and that affects their daily lives... And some people don't get affected because maybe they weren't as attached... It's just a thought
  • Or perhaps it was not true love. When you truly love something and then you lose it, well it hurts like hell. And when we hurt nothing else matters at the time but the pain.
  • When it affects their schooling, careers, social lives and family it's usually because even though they've broken up they were still deeply in love with that person and they need time to heal and get over it. If someone is not affected at all, they either didn't love that person, feel out of love with them, or they have a heart of stone. That's my perception.
  • idk - i haven't ever been unable to function after a break up, i think some people just handle it differently. i alway say there is just 1 of me vs. all the women in the world if one doesn't want me there are many others out there and move on to them.
  • Your intimate relationships are the center of your life. It is like your safe place, and the place that feels like home. So when you lose it, you feel lost and venerable, and have trouble maintaining the other aspects of your life.
  • For the people it doesn't affect at all...I'm thinking it's because they make school and their social lives the new center of their lives. I think I do that actually. When I break up, I tell myself there is no reason to be slacking off in school, not hanging out with friends, not to be doing better at work. I have more time to think about my other priorities and set a new order of what's more important with new goals.
  • For some people, a breakup is a scary thing. They cannot concentrate for a while until the shock is over. Some experts say the reaction to a breakup is similar to the grieving process when a loved one dies! Some people don't get affected for many resons: - they may not have been very attached to the person - they may be able to handle emotional stress better (i.e. they're seen a therapist in the past and know how to cope) - they may be emotionally detached (but even then, I think it affects them in invisible ways) However, for a school paper I would use credible sources, so maybe search terms like "stress" or "grief" and apply it to a break up.
  • Well when i broke up with my fianca at was because i had alot of stress on me already cause i'm tryin to get my GED, and i was stressed out cause i didn't get to see him often. So when we broke up i felt realived alot because i wasn't going to be to stressed out over us, and be able to pay more attention to my study for my GED. Cause i told him maybe afterwards we can get back together i just didn't need the stress
  • For some people they've lost someone they really, really care deeply about, and to have that taken away is a horrible experience. For other people, the relationship wasn't really working, or for other people it is a relief to have that problem gone from their life, or for other people ... see what I mean? Someone who has their schooling, career and so on affected has lost someone close to them and important to them. They'll have some grieving to do. Whenever there is grieving, everything else just kind of fades into the background.
  • Break ups effect everyone differently. It also depends on the degree of emotional investment, the severity of the break up, etc., etc. And some people are just better at putting on a happy front.
