You know, I feel better about the situation after having contemplated yalls responses. This is an opportunity to do things right this time. If I don't allow someone to treat me badly, then they just can't. Before I let horrible behavior be acceptable, this time I know I won't. For one thing, I know I can be by myself and be alright, so there's no longer that fear of being alone. I told my non-ex-friend (I'm still trying to figure out a babble name for her) that this weekend was full, but maybe next weekend. That way I have the time to work up to it. That helped with the anxiety.
We never lived anywhere longer then 3 years when I was growing up. I'm now in the unique situation of living in the same area as one of those places. Its a big area, so reconnecting does take effort. I can't just plan to run into long lost friends somewhere. So looking these people up is a stepping stone to being more social. Maybe later I'll discover other ways.
