Just flat out rejected my asshole ex fwb. They literally always come crawling back. I cannot believe he had the audacity to approach me as I was walking outside our campus. I blocked him on every platform possible and he gets stonewalled whenever we bump into each other. Where are these insecure ass men getting balls from?? I mistakenly acknowledged him because without my glasses on, he looked just like my friend and I hardly recognized his voice. Instant regret. As I was walking tf away, he starts following me, asking for a hug, and trying to sell me some story about always caring and wanting to get to know me. He also said he wasn’t able to do more because I blocked him. I laughed, said a firm no on the hug, and replied, “Really? It sure didn’t feel like it.“ He literally said “I know.”, gave me a weak ass sorry and then asked about my day. Wtf? I cut him off before he could say more dumb shit and coldly told him, “You don’t have to try now. I don’t want you to. I’m not interested. Seriously, I’m good. ”. I finally looked at him and witnessed his ego crumble. Then I walked away, popped in my air pods, and did not look back at his sorry ass. Felt nice defending my self-worth and self-esteem when I was complicit to so many instances in which they were besmirched by him. He thought I would fall into his hands like putty, but that was no longer me. I don’t need the validation he’s clearly seeking. I am finding that within myself. Next time, he’s not even getting an eighth of a head turn.. and I’m going to start wearing my glasses.

Edit: few words
