So my ex broke up with me for her ex, and it sucks, but I'll survive. However, I run into her a decent amount since we frequent the same bars, have the same social network, etc. I'm ok with it even though I get some angry feelings from time to time (but not enough to stop going out).

However, I DO feel my state drop like a rock, and I find myself nervous to hit on other girls in front of her in fear of them rejecting me and she seeing it. I know I shouldn't care what she thinks, but I can't help but feel self-conscious in front of her.

So seddit, how do I keep my state up when it just drops seeing her, and how do I proceed with hitting on other girls? I already gave her too much, I don't want to give her any power post-breakup.
