Spend time with your friends and by yourself

Prathkanti also says it is important to adopt personality traits from both introverts and extroverts.
"Extroverts can talk on and on about their breakup. And in the process they can release feelings and gain new perspective, but they need to create a space for themselves to be on their own and reflect quietly," says Prathikanti.
“Conversely, if you're an introvert, it's important not to hole up. "You need to recuperate and replenish your energy through solitude. But you also have to schedule some time that will put you in touch with others — whether it's dinner with your best friend or going to a church or community gathering instead of keeping to yourself," she says.
