Am I overreacting to this FB comment?

[argyle]

Let me see if I can offer a possible explanation here: I'm 74, but all those "Me's" from all my earlier years are still alive and well inside my mind. I look at your image and the Me who is in his 20's says, "Hello." I think your friend meant something along those lines. As an old man, I sometimes have to remind myself, when I meet someone and respond to them, that I'm not the same age as them any longer. Example: I was having dental work done, and my dentist left me alone with his chairside assistant while I "numbed up." We chatted and I discovered we were both "Movie Nuts." I was about to ask her to have dinner with me, so that we could talk more about movies, when I remembered my age and realized I was about to ask a 17 year old intern out on a date. I shared that realization with my dentist, who laughed, and with the young assistant, who also laughed. Now I ended up having dinner with her, and none of it was inappropriate. We talked about movies and both of us had a good time. The point is, I have to remind myself from time to time that I am not the same young guy who lives inside my head with all the others. This is especially important if I suddenly feel the urge to jog across the street between cars when I'm downtown. Uh, this 74 year old can no longer sprint or run or job.

I hope this helps.

I don't understand what the anxiety is about. If you are having issues with anxiety in general. I feel you. But that is about what is happening inside your own head. And for that you have to look around for some solutions that can work for you. I mean, even you know you are overreacting. So perhaps it is time to do something about it before you get into a relationship and it begins to cause issues there.

I am already in a discussion group where a woman is saying her anxieties is jeopardizing her marriage.

Probably saw it and remembers you as a child so was reminded you're not

[wittymilf]

Yeah it’s awkward... but you’re a woman and he’s a man so 🤷‍♀️

[Levin]

When you say a minor, how old are you talking?

TBH, you look pretty womanly there.

I mean, he's a sad creep by the sounds of it. Probably pity him more than anything.

[KingDio]

I would say it was cringy as hell having someone watch you grow up and say that and quite understandable with the over reaction but you take it how you feel about it at the time

[WeAreChaos]

Yea cringy and creepy
If I were you, I'd steer clear of him

[Anonymous]

You are assuming his comment was about your tits. He didn't say that though. Not saying you're wrong, but you don't KNOW that's what he meant. Would you assume ANY comment that anyone makes about the pic is about your boobs?

[Tyrael]

Yeah you're overreacting. That's a pretty common thing for a long term family friend or member to say. If it's just that one thing, then yeah it's pretty innocent.

[Whtevernever]

Yes and I didn't even read the rest. The answer is yes.

[msc545]

Either try to forget it or ask him what he meant. It is the ambiguity that is making you anxious.

[Anonymous]

Are you the type of person who hates men and is looking for things to justify your feelings? Because that is how it comes across to me.

[joeldalton]

I'd say it was cringey, but not out of line.

[In_Trance]

Yeah

[Dave31989]
