Why? Are you just trying to get your revenge or are you trying to get them back? Jealousy can do both, and maybe at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>But you\u2019ve got to make a plan, because it\u2019s easy to slip up when you\u2019re doing this and make yourself look like you\u2019ve gone crazy. That isn\u2019t going to make anyone jealous, it will just make you look like a creep.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t Appear Insecure<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re posting on social media about how hurt you are, how life is so hard, how it\u2019s all unfair &#8211; you are setting yourself up for complete failure. Your ex isn\u2019t going to want to get an insecure, hurt loser back. They won\u2019t think they\u2019ve been burned either, if anything they\u2019ll just laugh you off or feel sorry for you but sorry enough to come back.<\/p>\n<p>Broadcasting insecurity is a great way to alienate yourself from your other friends too. No one wants to walk into a bear-pit of depression and anxiety, so don\u2019t dig that hole.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ignore Them &#8211; and Feel Good About It<\/h3>\n<p>Are you texting your ex? Stop it. Are you looking at their Instagram pictures? Quit. Are you stalking their friends online? Just don\u2019t. You need time apart. Block them if you have to, delete their number as the nuclear option but just <em>stop talking to your ex.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you cut them off, they\u2019re going to be confused. They\u2019ll wonder why you <em>aren\u2019t <\/em>trying to get them back right away. Now you\u2019re starting to build the fire of jealousy. Next step is to throw gasoline on the flames.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve Yourself<\/h3>\n<p>Make a list of all the things that went wrong with you during the relationship. Did you get a little fat? Could you use a new look? Did your ex keep you from spending money &#8211; or spending way too much?<\/p>\n<p>The total opposite of broadcasting your pain, broadcast new successes. They have to be new &#8211; don\u2019t start pining for the good old days. This builds an air of success, it tells your ex that they were holding you back. Now you\u2019ve turned the tables on them and they\u2019re going to want to know what\u2019s making your a new, better person.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Date Someone Totally Different<\/h3>\n<p>If you do all of the above but end up with someone that\u2019s a photocopy of your ex, they might end up jealous or they might just laugh at you. Date someone totally different and watch them get jealous fast.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ll start comparing themselves to your new date, but they won\u2019t be able to figure it out. Because there&#8217;s nothing to figure out! You\u2019re into someone different, with a different look, a different idea for fun, a different outlook on life. You know what else? It\u2019s fun. You might learn something about yourself, while making your ex jealous.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just Wait<\/h3>\n<p>Will this work? It might, but then again it might not. Give it enough time and see if your ex gets back in touch with you.<\/p>\n<p>They may try to contact you from a different number or even stalk you from a social media account you don\u2019t recognize. Maybe they\u2019ll send an email from address you don\u2019t know. Run that through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spokeo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a reverse number lookup<\/a> and see who it is. Keep a record.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t make your ex jealous, don\u2019t turn into a stalker. First of all, that\u2019s scary. Secondly, how is this good for you? Besides, if you\u2019ve found someone totally different &#8211; as suggested above &#8211; why are you still worrying about your ex? Enjoy your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you\u2019re trying to figure how to make your ex jealous, huh? Why?
