3. Don’t Freak Out If/When You Encounter Them In Person
Three words: “Be cool, baby.” A friend of mine had an extremely awkward encounter with an ex-friend of hers while they were both at the same event. The ex-friend brought her sister as a guest, and when my friend saw the sister, she decided to say hello. She used to be close with the entire family, so she didn’t want to be rude. But when the former BFF came back from getting food, my friend freaked out at the sight of her and scurried away like a mouse caught when the lights come on. Hey, we’re all adults, and unless someone is wielding a knife at you over past grievances, there’s no need to start running like you stole something. You can be cordial when they come around and then go about your business. There’s a difference between being civil and being phony, so just say hello and be on out. If they choose to be rude in response, then you can be sure that moving on from them as a friend was indeed a good decision.
