Heartbreak is never an easy thing and people react to it differently; some people automatically unlock hidden talents like music and poetry, some cry, some sleep it off, some move on like it never happened and some people just do the weirdest things.
Nigerians have taken to Twitter to share their heartbreak experiences; from relationships to friendships, football clubs and random things that have hurt them. While some of these experiences are really hilarious, they're so relatable and well, heartbreaking.
The point is, heartbreaks are seriously rough stuff. The one consolation is, no matter how bad yours was, someone has probably had it worse. Don't believe it?
Then check out these stories where folks shared stories of when they got their heartbroken, lessons learned, and how they moved past it.
You might need a box of tissues to get through these. Consider yourself warned!
Na heartbreak make me write ‘FOLASHADE’.

The funniest people are the ones using “happened to my friend” as an excuse to tell their own stories.

Heartbreaks have produced more philosophers than any education ever has.

One thing I learnt from my heartbreak this year is that you are not asking for too much, you are just asking the wrong person.
— Sally Suleiman (@is_salsu) November 11, 2020
-You would beg the wrong person to call you.
-You would beg the wrong person to be there for you.
But the right person would happily do this for you.
Heartbreak has a way of making us emotionally and mentally stronger if we are being honest.

Teaches self awareness and never to settle again.
Heartbreak had me crying hysterically outside Brixton Station. I was walking and talking to my friend, and the tears just came from nowhere. Sobbing like a fool, while ppl walked passed and 'Awwwed' me. Never cried over a break up since then.

I used to drop him off at her’s every day. Read that again.

Sha the funniest thing that happened to me after the heartbreak was months after the heartbreak. I got a necklace in the relationship and after we broke up I didn’t take it off because I still wanted memories 😂

Look at God😂😂
Those friendship heartbreaks are always the hardest. Worse than romantic heartbreak and hurts on a whole different kinda level!

When I left my apartment, it was inside my car I went to sleep. I actually drove to another road in our estate, parked and slept inside. Mosquitoes finished me. I was planning to sleep there for a second night if the security did not call me to tell me what’s up.

Chizoba also dealt with me too. Babe randomly told me one day that she was getting married. I think at one point, my campus pastor was tired of me. Stopped going to church for a whole year. When I finally turned up again in church, i felt like a new convert. Fear Igbo women.
— Sam Otigba (@SamuelOtigba) November 11, 2020
Then whenever I see Igbo, Edo or Calabar babe, straight JAKPA. One Edo babe dealt with me & my best man, that’s how we met, group heartbreak was the link up. We took a very long walk, didn’t say much, if you paid close attention, all you’ll hear from us were sighs, hmmm & omo.
— Sam Otigba (@SamuelOtigba) November 11, 2020
I didn't handle it well o. Nobody knew what I was going through. I cried for 6months all through the night,and because I had no one to tell,I went into depression.
— Onome Julius🇳🇬🇺🇲 (@lady_onome) November 11, 2020
I was really young though but I went into depression,I was always alone in my room cried my self to sleep and woke up to it every day. Impossible by shontelle was my national anthem wen I failed in school and brought it home my father beat the heartbreak away from my body 😂🤣😂

I didn't eat for like 6 days until my neighbor who hated our relationship came to tell me how lucky I was that it was over. We went out and ate mad food and drank beer at the end. Uniport, 2007.
