There's something about breaking up with someone - you just look hotter than you ever did before.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes people can put way too much emphasis on looking 'hot' which can be stressful and put you in your head.
Break-ups are hard for anybody, but it's particularly tough when it's being documented and you see the person's picture everywhere. Most people don't have that added problem when they break up with someone.
You can feel like, 'I look really bad', but to other people you can be really gorgeous.
People say to me, 'Do you know who you look like?' And I say, 'I'm really tired of looking like that guy.'
It's funny when someone says to you 'you're hot' and all that, because I don't think of it in that way.
Guys blow my looks up more than I ever would. I guess I have issues with myself. I don't think I'm as pretty as everybody thinks.
If you break up with a girlfriend or a boyfriend, you're in this vulnerable state where you're still kind of half in the relationship with them, but you're single, and it takes a while to feel solid in yourself again.
Maybe one of the most heartening findings from the psychology of pleasure is there's more to looking good than your physical appearance. If you like somebody, they look better to you. This is why spouses in happy marriages tend to think that their husband or wife looks much better than anyone else thinks that they do.
Hotness is uniqueness and just being yourself - that's hot.
When you break up, your whole identity is shattered. It's like death.
