Should i say hello to my ex

In all honesty, people in general believe what they want to believe when it comes to situations like this. The only thing that matters is what you feel! If you are over him, say hello or don't say hello! If you still want him the same applies! You can't control what anyone else thinks!

How many times have you told guys you aren't interested to hear them say you're just playing hard to get? Do whatever makes you happy because ultimately you are your priority, not him and the little world in his head!

Plus if he is over you, he won't think anything of what you do or do not do as he won't care! If he says hi, then respond back. If you are ok and let go of your ex, you can say hi like a friend if you feel comfortable. In my own situation with friends or exes or people I just let go of in general , I either do say hi or ignore them like they don't exist. Why do I ignore them? I don't feel the need to say hi to a stranger anymore. They are long gone from my life. I wouldn't say hi to a stranger in an elevator I think you should be sugary sweet while barely giving him the time of day.

NEVER be rude, it looks weak. Always be nice, but smile pretty and keep it moving. He thought you hot to ever get with you in the first place, so just keep looking good and not paying him any attention. You're too good and too busy for him anyway!

Whatever you do, don't avoid him because it makes it look like he has the upper hand. Sign Up Now! Sort Girls First Guys First. Itatsume Xper 5. I've been in this situation before.. I see my ex at least once a week he ended it because he thought I was too clingy, but I wasn't. Real reason? He wanted to stay home from school and he's a college kid to play World of Warcraft.

I always just say hi, and ask him how schools going, since he started going again, and that's pretty much it. And since I see him where a bunch of mutual friends are, it doesn't seem as awkward as if it would be seeing him with someone else I kinda still have feelings for him tho.

Xper 7. He seems like an immature guy. It is not worth giving too much thought to what he is thinking. Get on with your life and treat him like any other person you know. But, do not be too friendly or unfriendly. Just be casual. If you bump into each other, then say hi and keep walking. This shows that you are mature enough to acknowledge him, but that you are also not so needy that you want to have a conversation every time you see him.

It's that simple. Sunflowergirl89 Xper 4. If you see him say hi to him. Don't show that the breakup got to you. He'll realize how mature you are if you do this. None of that - shy hi's or anything. Likeastar Xper 4. Say hi its polite and it would seem like you dnt care anymore and that ur over it!

Or just give him a smile maybe instead. Say hello when you see him, it will show that seeing him doesn't bother you and that you are mature. Not saying hi and ignoring him is a much bigger sign that you are not over it. Or is it better to roll the dice and risk causing further pain? I would err on the side of not apologising for past harm if the relationship is over, it's not an essential connection, and there is no reason to believe that the person wants to hear from you.

Cruelty for someone in high school might well go in this category, although if you're still in contact with that person say you've been thrown together in a work project , you might say something like, 'You know, I was a total jerk to you back in high school. I was so insecure in myself that I took it out on you, and there's no excuse for that. A lengthy, waffling, self-indulgent message ceases to be about them and brings everything back to you. Brevity is essential. And remember that the purpose of an apology is to facilitate the other person's healing and sense of well-being, not to foster your own recovery or lower your guilt quotient.

For that reason, when you apologise to someone, it's better not to expect anything back. You can't demand forgiveness, nor can you depend on anyone else to make you feel better about your own mistakes. If you genuinely want to admit a wrong and take responsibility for your actions, then you shouldn't expect the wronged party to respond in a particular way or even respond at all. No matter how graciously someone forgives you, they cannot absolve you of your own guilt. You might feel better for having been forgiven, but the responsibility for your own emotions ultimately lies with you.

So if you are thinking of contacting someone to apologise, be prepared for them to get agitated or ignore you — but a response like this doesn't preclude the possibility of you forgiving yourself. There can be a personal dignity in owning up to a mistake, even if the result it yields is not what you'd hoped for.

When Ella 26 reached out to a former friend — let's call her Gina — to apologise, it went about as badly as possible. Years before, they'd had a fraught, ambiguous friendship that veered between being sexual and platonic. Instead of raising her concerns with Gina, Ella ghosted her. For Gina, it was upsetting to lose such an intense relationship with no warning or explanation. Years later, when Ella decided to contact Gina to apologise, after spending time in AA, Gina replied, "thank you for the apology but you were an absolute dickhead.

As Ella sees it, this was somewhat ungracious. But despite the fact that Gina refused to forgive her, Ella is still glad that she reached out. I obviously felt aggrieved that she told me to fuck off, but I still think it was the right thing to do. There can be a personal dignity in owning up to a mistake. Add Opinion. I apologize for what I am about to say.

WTF is wrong with you females and this I want to be friends thing. Are women aware at all of what it means to kick it around your ex.

He probably still loves you back off. Why you women think that crap is ok is beyond me. Now let me explain this. When men become emotionally attached they need time to move on much more than a women who has been brought up feeling that is ok to deal with emotions.

Now men on the other hand emotional stress in are lives we are taught to hide and disregard which means that it requires much more time For us to heal from emotional tragedy. Now if you insist on being his friend after the break up leave him alone for a while.

Is this still revelant? John-Bee Xper 4. No, it just prolongs the agony. For me it was like a quick fix. It really is best not to make contact. If you bump into each other in public than just be polite. Nothing more.
