New LBS - need advice, part deux

[apothem]

Thank you sandi, that means a lot to me I don't want to be stuck in the same cycle and I acknowledge I have things I need to work on.

Last night went just fine, it hurt seeing her a little, but I essentially paid her no mind. I was short with her, but not unfriendly. She kept looking over at me, but I continued to avert my gaze elsewhere unless it was a question. The last thing she saw of me was me saying goodbye and walking away.

Those are very big 180s for me, especially because I was a doormat for much of our relationship, which isn't really me.
