Twitter Users share their Heartbreak Experiences & They’re Quite…
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’.

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.
-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.

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 ?

Those friendship heartbreaks are always the hardest. Worse than romantic heartbreak and hurts on a whole different kinda level!
— Iseunife The First ???? (@Shawnifee) November 11, 2020
I had a heartbreak this year. Crying with catarrh coming out of my nose. Had tissue by my bedside. I had to beg a friend to come visit me as if I was mourning. It was a dark time for me. I couldn’t eat, sleep or think. I felt useless. This heartbreak actually made me stronger.
— Sally Suleiman (@is_salsu) November 11, 2020
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.

I remember how i couldn't go into any TFC for over a year cos TFC fried rice was our thing. First time i ate that rice after the breakup, na saltwater full am

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.
— Samuel 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.

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 ???
— _omotola?❤️ (@omotola_airstah) November 11, 2020
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.

The worst heartbreak I felt was when she broke up with me saying I have had sex with her more than the times I have given her money. She said the equation no balance at all ??
