ITM, I'll admit, I still to this day watch the cars around me in case ow pops up in my realm. She has a couple of times. She was in a store I was shopping in with a friend last fall and I had a complete panic attack. This is two years after they broke up and he has been with me. It's a PTSD response and it will fade but it will take a LONG time.
Just be kind to yourself. When you run into them try to smile and look mysteriously happy. If that is too difficult you could always pull out your phone and pretend to be talking to someone who is really making you laugh! LOL Just don't turn around and go the other way or hide two aisles over like I did!!!
