An eye-catching selfie takes up about two thirds of the space in the photo. Crop your image so it’s not zoomed too far out or unflatteringly close in. Remember to smile, look at the camera, and double check that your outfit is lying right. Take a few so you have options.
Funny or interesting stories from work or school “Candid” photos of you studying for a test or training for a competition A photo of you doing an extracurricular activity or volunteering
Posting about a killer new recipe you created Sharing stories from concerts, festivals, and other events you go to Anything about a new hobby or interest you picked up since the breakup
A witty comment about your look, like “Just feeling this outfit today! You know, because it’s on my skin” A vague statement about your relationship to the people in your photos, like “Amazing night out on the town with this one” A jokey question, like “Do I look like I’m going to school, prison, or both?”
Photos or stories of your favorite self-care activities Tasty photos of your favorite healthy foods and recipes Positive posts or thoughts about maintaining good mental and emotional health
Give your ex a twinge of jealousy by including photos of you hanging out with members of the opposite sex or with someone you know they don’t like. If you’re posting a group photo, try to find ones where you’re in the middle so you stand out more (and look like the life of the party).
Posting photos of foods or drinks you used to share Stories with “your song” playing in the background Selfies wearing clothes or accessories they bought you
You don’t even have to include the whole person in the photo. A guy’s arm or a girl’s purse that you “forgot” to crop out is enough to get your ex asking “who are they with!?” Be careful not to overdo the jealousy trick. The people in your photos might start to feel used, and your ex will start to see through your strategy if it’s all you’re posting.
Vacation photos from your first visit to a new place Videos of you trying an activity for the first time, like rock climbing or gardening Shots of you rocking a new haircut or outfit
Be subtle with these. If your ex catches on that you’re only posting these to make them miss you, they might stop paying attention.
Try leaving short comments on their posts at first like “nice!” or “cool pic. ” When they comment on yours, reply with 1-word phrases like “thanks!” or “hahahah. ” Send them memes from other accounts you know they’ll find funny. After a few days of likes and reactions, try replying to their stories with longer messages, like “This reminds me of the time we went to Colorado!” Eventually, you’ll be able to have long conversations again and work on building a friendship or getting back together.
