There are 2 guys who have caused me a great deal of stress and anxiety. One keeps posting pictures of his dates on social media and another plays the cat and mouse game which he also does to other women. Most men do not treat me like this.

 

I am getting a great deal of stress and anxiety over this. What is the best way to move on from these emotional vampires? I don't know if I should make a list of all their bad qualities to remind myself. Should I avoid goint to places they will be at to cut them out of my life? Where can I meet decent emotionally available men? I want to feel well again and not tense.

I totally get you I've only ever dated 2 guys and the first was incredibly offended when I didn't give him sex after the first date if you want to be sure the guy you are dating won't be a vampire date a more "nerdy" guy the best way to move on try to surround yourself with friends

Unfriend & block them so you can't see what they are posting. problem solved.

 

In the short term, avoiding certain places they will be might be best until you get stronger. However you can't skip class or work to avoid them.

 

Do make that list about why they are bad.

 

Make another list about good qualities in general & look for men who display those. Think about what over common factors these other 2 guys have & identify them as red flags.
