Impact of social media on dating #5

Breakups are public.

 Back in the days of no social media, people used to break up privately and it took time for the news to reach other people. But nowadays, breakups are mostly done in public. If you want to break up with someone, post it on their wall. Although, it can be a little embarrassing. But when breakups are done in public, everyone can see that the person is available and vulnerable, thus providing other’s opportunities to approach the person and show empathy. Almost 70% of the time this results in the formation of new relationships. Thus, it provides opportunities to form new relationships when the previous ones are over and helps people move on.
