So you'd have liked for her to not acknowledge you at all, and that would have gave you some feeling of certainty that things are truly over. It would have given you some sense of finality rather than open up that 'what if'. I am curious more about your need, it looks like you want some sort of understanding and connection, but can that need be fulfilled by her, or better yet has she been willing to meet that needs of yours.
No, I wouldn't have liked anything. I would be okay If she came only to ask how I was. But she came to talk about our relationship. She acted bitchy and ended things with me the day I did try to talk to her. In the party I was not her boyfriend anymore. There was nothing to talk about. Simple as that. And I was certain that the relationship was over, at least I saw It that way. I wasn't looking for evidence for that. There's no talking about mine and her needs when our relationship is over. By the way, I did try to talk about our needs with her before we broke up, but she wouldn't listen.

So you're mind-reading a bit here. A person can be the life of the party and still feel alone at that very same party. We don't know her reasons unless she'd explicitly stated as such. So on the one hand you have your integrity, on the other this question about what is her intention in communicating with you - but that isn't really important at all, the reality is you have some need by wanting to know, clarity maybe?
That just what I think, I never claimed It to be the truth. As I said, prior to our breaking up, I tried to talk to her, and It was like talking to a wall, she didn't want to listen. And now in the party she comes all different wanting to talk? What this change in behavior tells you? Does she need to "explicitly state" anything? Can't you see a confused girl here? As for "Her intention" in communicating with me, It seems she is uncertain about her feelings, about what she wants from this relationship. I just don't care anymore. And no, you don't know the reality, that's just a assumption you're making there. Didn't you read the part where I said she was the one who came to talk to me? I didn't want to know anything at first place. Also, If your "theory" of "feeling alone in the party" were to be correct, why would she specifically find comfort or feel better by talking to me, the guy she dumped days before? It doesn't make sense. The fact is she wanted something when she came to talk to me.

Again you're making judgments and evaluations about her behavior. It is your thinking that's creating these unsettling feelings, and why I keep saying nobody else but you is responsible for your feelings.
All too often we interpret what another person is doing TO US, but the reality is its our thoughts about what they're doing that often causes the problem.
I am making "judgments and evaluations" based on her past behavior, as I also said in my post, I am not making this up. My feelings are indeed unsettled, but I never stated I wanted them to remain so.
You guys seem to have interpreted that I still want anything to do with this woman(although I do still like her) when what I wanted was just let you all know about the current events and how I was feeling. Well, sorry about that.
As sad as It is for me, I have to accept I can't fix her and just move on.
Thank you all for the input.
