In a few days I have to see an old friend who I've been crazy about for years but we never ended up being a thing. I've gone about a year now since seeing him last and have become a new person and don't want to fall back into the sense of admiration and respect and I used to have for him. He's overall a nice guy and a really good friend but also kind of an asshole and I'm SURE I still have feelings for him and they will all come rushing back once I see him and I'll be back to square one, trapped in this unrequited love I dealt with for years. I'm DREADING seeing him.

I just got out of another situation in which I experienced heartache with this other sleaze ball and I just feel really delicate and insecure and like this feeling is never going to end. Ugh what should I do to deal with this mentally?

You say you have to see this person. It's very apparent you don't want to. Do you really have to? Or are you just doing what's expected of you. If you really have to see him just be cordial and keep it short. Even though you may still have feelings for him, keep reminding yourself you have become a new person and seeing him is not worth letting that go by the wayside. I wish you luck with this.

The stuff we have to do together is work/school related and it's a paid job, long story short
