Why am i so scared to see my ex at college?

So last week was my first 2 days at my new college (2nd year) and i was already having so much anxiety if i saw my ex but I found out on the 2nd day that it was only induction week so very few students were in so for the rest of that day i felt at ease however this week everyone is starting obviously everyone does different days but still.. and my ex-gf she has already been to this college for i think 2 years and this is her 3rd and last year until she goes to University (if she's decided that) i mean I will at least be in 1 of the days that she's in I just hope it's not all 3 or 2 of the days.. she hasn't done anything TO me or anything like that i mean ig she's been a bit unkind after our breakup, but she is a really sweet person but like I said after our breakup I wouldn't say she's been mean but she's definitely not the sweet girl I knew anymore towards me if that even makes any sense, I know that if I see her nothing will happen we won't fight, we won't talk none of that i just think im scared she'll make sparky looks and then text her online friends and online boyfriend that she's seen me obviously i cant predict the future but im just scared to see her for some reason... idk if thats a normal feeling for any student with an ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend

honestly i kept imagining all the looks, whispers, and conversations that probably never happened. i got through it by reminding myself that i didn’t need to predict her reaction, i just needed to get through my own day.

do you think you’re more scared of actually seeing her, or of seeing how she might react when she sees you?

so ive seen her twice at college and it was definitely more of how she'd react and both times she ran off and went to text her friends and online bf im not doing anything to her I understand we're exes but i dont have a problem..

starting college while knowing my ex could be around, and every hallway felt like a place i might run into them. she doesn’t even have to do anything for your body to go into panic mode, seeing someone you loved can just hurt like that. 💔
