Well, social media nowadays is part of the modern breakup toolkit, if you will. As someone who looks at these case studies online and And I see messy breakups and what they do to a personal reputation. I mean, of course, it wouldn't be advisable every time. However, there's a very compelling reason why Gen Z in particular, I think, likes to do it is it's used as a coping mechanism.

It's very hard to keep pain inside. So generationally, where we might do this over crying over drinks with friends, it's the same thing for Gen Z. Their comfort is in their community and sharing it online. So if they can do it in a way that helps them cope and gives them a way to heal through it, then it could be a positive thing. Yeah.

Yeah, Rebecca is absolutely right. And she's noting, you know, a time where I noticed the shift where people were noticing, okay, he may have done something, but why are we out to destroy this person's life over it? And then it boomeranged back on the person.

So I think the key to sharing your breakup online isn't so much whether or not you should do it, but it's what is your intention for doing it? If you are sharing your breakup because you want to share vulnerability and you're using it to process your grief, because that's what breakup is. It's grief.
