You know what's the worst thing for a newly single person? Running into their ex. You see unfortunately, as much as all of us would like to pretend that our exes cease to exist the minute we part ways, the harsh reality is that they are still very much living their lives. Even if you are someone who likes to stay friends with your ex (or at least try to) after the breakup, you can't deny the fact that bumping into that familiar person can sometimes f*ck up your mental peace.

And the bump-ins are always awkward, no matter how thick the ice between you may seem to be. However, you can avoid all the awkwardness if you just followed these five extremely simple and doable things.

Run--Run In The Opposite Direction

You know talking to them will make you lose your sleep for a week,  so don't. Don't go ahead and try to be friendly. Stop yourself from saying hi to that person because you know, deep down, that there's no point at all. Run in the opposite direction instead, you'll thank us later. If you are in the same metro and standing almost next to them, walk towards the next compartment and don't look back. They didn't look back when they were breaking up with you, remember? So run, it's completely fine.

Pretend They Don't Exist

Suppose you can't run and realize that no matter how fidgety you get, you'll still have to endure their presence around you. What do you do? You ignore. You ignore their very existence. You see, there will be times when you'll have nowhere to run and you need to be prepared for those circumstances. Look straight up, look through them, and don't flinch. Pretend you don't see them and don't know them. AVOID EYE CONTACT AT ALL TIMES.

If They Have Already Spotted You, Be Your Bitchiest Self

So you've been spotted and you see that douchebag ex-boyfriend of yours coming towards you. What do you do? You bring out the bitch in you. Why? Because bitches get work done, ladies. If he comes up to say hi to you, maintain a straight face and reply "Oh hi! You're still alive? Wow." Let that person burn in your wrath.

Plug In Your Headphones And Forget Everything Else

Take out your earphones, girls! We have music apps in our phones just for these situations. Plug those earphones in and listen to best party song you have. Dance in your head. Pro tip: Play Gives You Hell by All American Rejects for the required catharsis.

Remember What They Did To You And Breath

If you feel your undying love for them resurfacing like the ghost of the past, remember how bad the breakup was. Make sure you remind yourself of all the times they screwed you over and made you cry, and then take a long deep breath. Remember nothing good will ever come out of talking to them and just keep breathing. Don't forget that you've got this and you ex can't ruin your life anymore.
