I'm going to a work party on Thursday in a club. My ex will be there, she's had a negative impact on me in work psychologically, went to therapy for it and it was suggested to ignore her. This time I'm going to go even though I know she'll be there getting hit on by guys. Just going is in itself is a big step but nerve racking. I haven't been with someone in a while, I broke up with someone 2 months a go and I've been hitting the gym and preparing myself to be a 'suitable' single to get with women. The ex is going to impact my game by way of making me conscious of her actions. What do you do in those situations? The ones when there exists an environmental negativity that cannot be run from. So like another example could be a bully you used to go to school with is there..

Guys, I was so stoked about going out now my nerves are shaken by knowing she'll be there. You guys give the best advice and I'm proud to be a member of this community.
