I'm so tired of unrequited love. I wish i knew that someone was interested in. who am i kidding im fat and not good looking.
Don't feel too bad, I'm undoubtedly worse looking than you.
I'm in this non situation now where when I talk to this woman, I feel as if she is answering just to be nice but looking for an escape route. So next time I see her I try to be very brief, to A). not annoy her or be "that guy" or B). see if she tries to talk to me as that could show she's somewhat interested. Note, this is not necessarily about a relationship, I don't talk to anyone and I like talking to her.
Told my therapist about this, he suggested maybe its my low self esteem that makes me so doubtful. I believe this makes sense, and I start thinking about this a lot at home, building myself up, convincing myself that maybe she does care. That maybe I'm actually being an asshole, giving her the silent treatment, maybe she thinks I'm being manipulative, etc.
Then I go and talk to her again; it's awkward, and it always feels like she's trying to split. Note, this could be because this is right before a class we share, but to me, it just seems like she's disinterested, and it shows to some of her responses to what I say.
Rinse-repeat. Don't talk to her as much. Go home, think "but wait!", come back, look like a jackass and potentially create an "i dread being around him" type situation.
I'm angry that I'm 20 but still interact with females pretty much the same as when I was 5. The more I think about it, the more I realize that she's probably aware of this. Not the anger, the ineptitude. She has had sociable, attractive guys talk to her, so she knows the difference between someone who can talk to girls and someone who can't.
I am "that guy". I am the man in a #1reasonwhy story. I am a 20 year old, worrying about if this woman "likes" me and "what does it mean?", even though I know in reality that it means nothing. It never has. And I am angry at myself for getting back into this shit because I thought I was passed that, and I considered myself "progressive" enough to not (potentially) harass women in this way. But this is just the cycle, and now im depressed (lol), and want to avoid that class, because im embarassed and dont want to see her, just like id do when i was 10.
Also while I dont have a problem with all your posts, I could see why someone could see that response to someone else's trouble as being in bad form.
