brkennn Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 hi guys spent the last 3 months 90% NC getting over my ex i felt really good about the progress i've made grown a lot I went back to school just now, ex graduated so i was relieved but i just found out he has a job near by and will be playing shows on campus al the time, not to mention his friends are here and a girl he hooked up with after our break up last year (maybe they're still talking?!) i was more than happy with the idea of him being so far removed from my life. it was so easy to be at peace in my own safe shelter. now the idea that our paths crossing isn't over- having to hear stuff about him, think about seeing him or actually see him- confronts me with my feelings for him and reminds me how sensitive i am. i thought i was so over him- now i feel like how *can* i even get over him if he's entering my sphere all year.. does that make sense? any advice please help- i don't want to give away my power to him or live in fear in my own space but i can't help but have those feelings be activated
d0nnivain Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 I understand why you are upset & a little scared but you have to take your own power back. You own your life, not him. Avoid his friends around campus. Stay with your group & your good friends. Get involved with new groups or organizations that do things you care about. If you see him, smile tightly with a closed mouth, nod & move along. You will survive this.
