It really doesn't matter who left and who is heartbroken after a breakup, because, usually, both people suffer. Of course, it's much harder for people who are left to cope with it, because they didn't want it to happen. All kinds of questions can pop up in their head. For example, "Was I not good enough?" "Am I not pretty at all?". That might ruin their self-confidence and desire to interact with new people. If you are in this situation, I am really sorry to hear that, but I am here to help you. When you are angry and sad, and when you feel like you're not good enough because a guy or a girl left you, it's time to show him or her what they lost. I'm here to teach you how to make your ex regret leaving you for good.
How to Make Someone Regret Hurting You in 5 Steps
Honestly, It's totally fine that you want to take revenge on your ex because they left you. You don't have to do anything bad because revenge is never a good option, because it will hurt you as well. There are much better ways to make your ex regret hurting you. For the simplicity of the text, we are going to place ourselves in the situation of a girl that has been left by her boyfriend.
1. Remove all things connected to him or her from your life
This is the first and most important step. Delete the number, don't unfollow him on social media but rather hide his posts and mute him (I will explain later why), don't look at his social media profiles, get rid of all of the presents he gave you, and so on. Give his T-shirts to someone who might use them. Just erase him from your life. It takes real courage to delete his number, I know. But if you are secretly hoping that you will get a message from him, you can't be more wrong. And if you do, he has already hurt you so much. He doesn't deserve an answer. It's really important to throw away everything that reminds you of him, simply because you will forget him faster. Hope keeps people alive, but sometimes it makes them suffer. So stop hoping that he will come back and constantly think about him because everything around you reminds you of him. I was in the same situation as you. It hurt, but when I deleted his number and stopped looking at his posts on social media, I felt so much better.
2. Work on your appearance, talents, and self-esteem
This is the next step. Use these hard times to improve yourself as much as you can. Buy a planner, start working out, eat healthier and give more attention to yourself. You can even start putting on more makeup. This usually boosts girls' confidence. Truth is, people can only learn from pain, so don't let your hardships go to waste. There are all kinds of things that you can do to improve yourself and get him off your mind. Read, start a new hobby like drawing or something like that. You can even buy new clothes, meditate, cook, study more, etc. All that will make you think better of yourself and look better. Let's be honest, looks indeed are important. You can immerse yourself in studying or working harder in order not to think about him. The key is to turn your sadness into something productive. Why don't you show your ex how much prettier and confident you are since you broke up? So when he sees you again, make sure that you look as beautiful as you can be. But have in mind one important thing: you are improving because of you, not because of him. While working on yourself, work on forgetting him as well.
3. Leave your social media open to him
Don't forget to hide his profile, though. If you unfollow him, there are high chances that he will unfollow you as well. You don't want that, because social media is the best way to demonstrate how happy and fulfilled your life is even without him. Go out more and post stories on Instagram. Post your best pictures, and try to make him see how many friends and acquaintances you have. He has to think that you are totally fine. My advice is not to post any kind of content that will depict you as a sad person. Girls are prone to posting sad song lyrics or songs that remind them of their past relationship. If you do that, you will achieve the very opposite thing- He will know that you can't get over him. Don't even post songs with hateful lyrics. Just pretend like he was never a part of your life.
4. Fill your life with positivity
How to make your ex regret leaving you becomes easy answered when you're surrounded by positive things. Practice mindfulness, meditate, buy a few plants and take care of them, listen to the happy music and don't allow any kind of intrusive thoughts to enter your head and mess with it. It will be hard in the beginning, but every beginning is hard, so don't let that discourage you. You need to heal for real, and that will be the ultimate punishment for your emotionless ex. Punish him by being truly happy. You've lived your life before you met him and you were happy. That means that you can be just as happy without him. When you feel the urge to cry, cry a bit. Don't repress your emotions, but remember- your biggest task is never to cry over him again.
5. Socialize and meet new people
You can do this online if you want, or you can ask your friends to introduce you to new people. Socializing can illustrate to you how many cool and awesome people exist out there, and that clinging to one toxic person is a big mistake. It can show you that seeing your ex as the only man you want to be with is just a mere illusion. So go ahead, join Facebook groups, DM cool people on Instagram or go out with new people. You can post pictures with them on social media so that your ex can see that you're actually doing better without him. And who knows, maybe you will meet the love of your life? Don't strain yourself if you are not an extrovert, but you should try to get out of your comfort zone a bit. You can start working out and meet new people at the gym. Just don't sit at home all day, weeping. Your ex doesn't deserve that.
Summary
In this article, I tried to show you how to make your ex regret leaving you. You can choose one of these steps mentioned above, but I would suggest trying all of them. The most important thing is to love yourself and stay positive. Use this situation as a chance to improve yourself and truly be happy without him. Seek support, and your friends and family will be there for you. Go out, have fun and find a new hobby. Don't cry over a guy who doesn't see your worth.

When your ex realizes what he lost, it will be too late for him to come back. And don't let him come back if he tries to enter your life again. Trust me, you will have to start this journey again from scratch. Find a guy who will truly love you, and let your ex regret leaving you for the rest of his life.
