ieele Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 So this girl i knew was super sweet and sociable. Rarely ever wore makeup and just showed up more casual and less reveling clothing. She began dating a guy for a short period of time and they were amazing together but she ended it due to college. For a few months she was mostly quiet on social media posts and didn't really go out much. About 5 months after the breakup she started spamming stories on social media of her wearing revealing clothing and putting on tons of makeup. Started posing in front of the camera and took selfies regularly. How does someone who dated for a short time affect someone so much and why did she suddenly change so much?
basil67 Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 Regular young people try a lot of different things as they are growing, changing and learning who they are. Her change is likely to have nothing to do with the guy she dated previously.
ShadeOfGreen Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 Regular young people try a lot of different things as they are growing, changing and learning who they are. Her change is likely to have nothing to do with the guy she dated previously. Agreed on this. If she's the typical age for college (very early 20's), then you can expect someone to go through a decent amount of change. It can seem surprising to some on the outside, but it's part of their personal journey. There are some people who seem to change a bit after a breakup. Perhaps they were trying to fit a mold of what society or their partner expected, and now feel the freedom to behave in ways more intrinsic to them. Sometimes the traumatic emotional experience of the breakup can lead people to act out. Everyone and their experience is different. 1
ExpatInItaly Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 As the others have pointed out, this sort of transition is not unusual for younger people in particular. And if she’s single now, she is likely eager to dress up a little more in hopes of attracting a new guy. Is this your ex we’re talking about here, OP?
kendahke Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 How does someone who dated for a short time affect someone so much and why did she suddenly change so much? By making a decision to take a different route than the one they've taken previously. She's figuring herself out and doesn't need anyone's permission or approval to do so. What makes you think the break up of this relationship is the sole reason she has for making this change? It could be that she's been wanting to do this for some time and the break up gave her the best reason to put it into practice. I'd be about getting over trying to clock her.
