Sh*t I Wish I Knew

9. Run-ins never end well.

Here's the thing: when confronted with the option of staying and pretending you are having a good time or leaving, leave with your dignity intact. Because if you stay you will get drunk and you will make a fool of yourself.

Picture this scenario: you see a former significant other at a party that you've just arrived at. What do you do? My advice is based off of personal experience so trust me. You could be stubborn, saying "f this, I'm going to have a good time and show this guy what he's missing" while in the process getting extremely intoxicated to cover up your nerves. You could then, as a result of liquid courage, confront said former other and proceed to list off every reason why they screwed you over, releasing the floodgate of emotion and pent up anger that's been building ever since you two ended it. You could continue to text said individual long after they've stopped answering, thereby helping to dig your own grave deeper and deeper and showing him what he most definitely is not missing.

Or you could turn right around and leave. Get the hell out of dodge. Do not give in to the impulse to acknowledge your ex. Find a different party and shake off the brief encounter you just had. Most importantly you can leave with your dignity, pride and self respect intact which, after the hangover wears off, is the most important thing that you can have.
