Search Results: act around him

I finished senior year last year and I can’t seem to forget about this guy that was in my class. I had a huge crush on him but he was obnoxious and had a girlfriend so I made it my mission to stay away from him. Nonetheless he would act weird around me from asking and always initiating sexual conversations with me, to laughing at everything I would say (when I wasn’t even trying to be funny), to disrupting the class by trying to steal my phone, to exposing my crush I had on his friend (it was a lowkey cover up) , to him making out with his girlfriend intentionally in front of me, to him randomly sprinting in class and jumping over my chair also on this one costume day at school pushed to take pictures with me and wrapped his arm around my neck and lastly when I confronted him if he had a crush on me , he hysterically and loudly laughed in my face. He had a girlfriend all this time by the way. He would do anything to get my attention , I would curse him out for his disrespectful behavior and also ignore him a lot but that didn’t work , obviously.

I just can’t stop thinking about all the dumb stuff he did , I want clarity.

I get the need to brag every once in a while, giving yourself a pat on the back when you’re good at something for example. Like all eyes were on me at this party, I killed it at this or that, I’m good at my job etc. But in my opinion it’s all about moderation, when you’re cocky & feel the need to always give yourself praise & then come across as condescending to others at times that’s when I have an issue. 29F & I’ve experienced this with men & women in my life. The women were self absorbed & the men were conceited & I chose to distance myself from all of them. Maybe I’m overly an avoidant attachment style but my mom for example would suggest I keep these people in my life just don’t expect much from them or to just keep them at arms length. At the same time, I’m not in the mood to be around people that bring me down or are so full of themselves, how is this not draining to people? Again self praise is definitely called for but when you’re bragging or coming across like you’re better than everyone else…that’s kind of a problem.
