If you’ve had a terrible date, you aren’t alone. #DatingHorrorStories is a top trend on TikTok with nearly 74-million views of the trainwreck meetups. While it’s good to vent about bad experiences, experts say not to dwell on the negative. Licensed psychologist Miranda Nadeau says the comments on your post can be validating and help short term, but therapy can help long term if you need it. Here is how experts suggest you deal with the dating horror black hole:
- Search for healthy relationship tips.
- If your habits sound like the villain's behaviors in a story, time for introspection.
- If you are posting about dating experiences, be accountable. Tell your story, sure, but think about perspective.
- Watch with caution – and don't only watch negative dating TikToks
