A Guide to Handling Ex-Encounters in Public like Kathryn Bernardo

Breaking up is hard to do, especially when you have to face your ex in public. Whether it’s at a party, a coffee shop, or a grocery store, running into your former flame can be awkward and uncomfortable. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here are some tips on how to act when you see your ex in public after a recent breakup.

1. Stay calm and composed. Don’t let your emotions get the best of you. Take a deep breath, relax your shoulders, and smile politely. Don’t show any signs of anger, sadness, or bitterness. You don’t want to give your ex the satisfaction of seeing you hurt or upset. 

2. Be polite, but not too friendly. Don’t ignore your ex, but don’t act like you’re best friends either. A simple hello and a brief exchange of pleasantries is enough. Don’t ask about their personal life, their new partner, or their feelings for you. Don’t bring up the past, the breakup, or any unresolved issues. Keep the conversation light and neutral. 

3. Don’t linger or overstay your welcome. Don’t make the encounter longer than it needs to be. After a few minutes of small talk, excuse yourself and move on. Don’t follow your ex around, or try to join their group of friends. Don’t ask for their number, or suggest meeting up later. Don’t give them any false hopes or mixed signals.

4. Don’t make a scene or cause drama. Don’t start a fight, or make a scene. Don’t accuse your ex of anything, or blame them for the breakup. Don’t insult them, or make them feel guilty. Don’t cry, or beg for them to take you back. Don’t make a spectacle of yourself, or embarrass your ex in front of others. 

5. Don’t compare yourself to their new partner. Don’t stare at their new partner, or make any comments about them. Don’t compare yourself to them, or feel insecure or jealous. Don’t try to compete with them, or prove that you’re better than them. Don’t act like you don’t care, or pretend that you’re happy for them. Just focus on yourself, and your own happiness. 

Seeing your ex in public after a recent breakup can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be a nightmare. By following these tips, you can handle the situation with grace and dignity. Remember, you’re not alone, and you’re not defined by your relationship. You’re a strong, independent, and amazing person, and you deserve to be happy.
