How do you maintain dignity after a hurtful unfair breakup? Depressed and desperate...?

[Tartersauce]

Figure out how you feel - humiliated, looking desperate or ugly, boring, mean, whatever - and start engaging in behaviors that you feel would make a person admirable, secure, pretty, interesting, kind, etc etc. Block him everywhere so you aren't seeing regular reminders of him. Instead, focus on building yourself up instead. If someone brings him up, simply say, "I don't know what happened. We were getting along great, and then one day he dumped me over text and wouldn't talk to me again. I'm guessing he found someone else ... hope everything worked out for them."

Why? Because it would be reasonable to anyone why you'd contact him a few times in that situation, and you wouldn't come across as crazy, desperate or mean-spirited. HE'll look like a foolish ass, as he should.
