Are you making the biggest mistake of your life around your ex? Chances are, you are, and it's making it hard for you to get your ex back.

Read on to find out more about the mistake which can ruin everything when it comes to getting your ex back....

Giving up on yourself

You are taking the breakup hard. You are so down that you are even thinking that life may not be worth living without your ex. You feel as though you are incomplete without them, and think that no one else wants you.

You drive yourself into a deep bout of depression, fueled by a bunch of emotions, and daily you sit and sigh deeply wishing there was a way to get your ex back...

But what this really is, is you showing your ex that you have given up on yourself, and this, my friend, is the BIGGEST mistake you can make.

Still don't see it?

So you still don't see how you are giving up on yourself, but from your ex's perspective, you sure are.

They are literally watching you self destruct as you beg and plead them back, get mad, argue, cry, and act extremely depressed. This is so self destructive that the only thing your ex will think is that you have literally given up on yourself.

It's obviously not your best self, nor is it the kind of person you should expect your ex to want to be attracted to in the first place. It's also not what you did to attract your ex in the beginning either, so why do you allow yourself to sink this low now, thinking it may convince them to come back?

How to reverse this mistake

So you think that you can't live without your ex, but at this very moment that is the first thing you should be doing, to really give your ex a reason to want to take you back. Instead of moping around and literally giving up on yourself INTERNALLY, take action and look for ways to improve.

The last thing you want is to lose your ex, and have it be your own fault, which is why you should avoid allowing this to happen. You can reverse this mistake and turn things around slowly by using positive affirmations, being around your friends and family, and by changing to ensure that your ex will like you again.

The best way to start change, is to work on one thing at a time. Right now things may seem really overwhelming, because you are experiencing breakup pain, but your ex doesn't actually expect you to change overnight, but they do expect you to at least try and change a few things.
