Jumping into a relationship right after a break-up makes you more likely to end up with the wrong person because you don’t give your brain enough time to ‘detox’ from your ex.
During a breakup the body goes through withdrawal from feel-good chemicals that are released in the brain when you are in love.
According to a New Jersey psychologist, during the initial break-up period, the lack of those chemicals blinds decision-making triggering the impulse to get into a relationship to fill that void – akin to drug addiction.
But those who don’t give themselves enough single time to retrain their body on how to live without those hormones, make themselves vulnerable to revisiting negative past relationships or getting into the wrong one.
