It comes from low self esteem really, I tend to assume people don’t like me.
I had an old school friend who got back in touch with me at the start of this year to say that she had moved to my area and if I would be up for meeting.
So we went for a walk one day, this was before April so nothing was really open. We walked for about an hour and I thought we had a good catch up, there were maybe one or two silences but I didn’t think anything of it.
She said to let her know when I next wanted to meet up.
About 6 weeks passed and I hadn’t heard anything, so I asked her if she wanted to go for a drink. She said she did and so we arranged a date and time. Then she cancelled the day before saying she had to go to see her aunt or something.
I said no problem and we rearranged. Then again she cancelled last minute as she had some event she had forgotten about.
Then it happened again. I was getting frustrated and asked her when she was available to meet in that case. She read the message and didn’t reply, and that was it.
I suppose I took it as her not wanting to meet up but not wanting to say so. A very similar thing had happened a few months prior with somebody I’d tried to get friendlier with and I was feeling a little disheartened.
I just deleted her off Facebook and moved on. I had written her a short message and sent it but realised it was pointless so quickly deleted it.
Anyway she’s very recently sent me a message. Feel too nervous to read it which I know is pathetic, I just feel like I’ve overreacted, but I was getting annoyed by the flakiness and thought she just wasn’t interested.
Aibu?
