I took a friend to the cafeteria the other day, but I didn't expect to bump into my ex, and I subconsciously slipped away. Afterward, I felt that my reaction was a bit strange, but a lot of feelings welled up in my heart.
Hello owner, this is Whale Social Worker Kissing Wind.
You mentioned subconsciously avoiding your ex when you meet him and feeling a little weird about it, and I understand that feeling.
In fact, this mentality is very normal. Everyone feels awkward to a greater or lesser extent when confronted with an ex, and some are able to overcome the awkwardness to say hello, while others choose to avoid it from a distance.
After all, we used to have great relationships with our exes. Even after a breakup, those shared memories remain in the back of our minds, making them unforgettable.
Sometimes, avoiding your ex may be because you haven't fully let go inside and aren't ready for how to face each other.
It's a personal choice no matter what, and we just need to listen to how we feel inside when it comes to things like this.
Good luck! --Whale Social Worker
