Search Results: get him to admit he likes me

She always thinks she knows everything better than I do even when I have more knowledge and formal education in an area after years of training. For instance she would insist that astrology can be proven through principals of physics and mathematics even though it is complete bullshit. She thinks she knows more about my college major (engineering science) than me even though she never even went to college nor does she read any books of any kind EVER. When I was in high school, every time I would get an A she would accuse me of cheating during an exam even though I NEVER did that. She always thinks she needs to explain simplest concepts to me when she is the last one in our family to understand them and even my father would get pissed at her low opinion of me. Funny thing is, when my little 8 year old brother is more skilled in a certain area, she has no problem admitting it and she never doubts his abilities. So why can't she accept my strenghts?

Due to a terrible misunderstanding my crush mistook my shyness as a rejection which hurt him pretty badly even years later. I liked him all along and considered clearing the air with my crush and ask him out but my guy friend tried to talk me out of this idea since he thinks my crush would only see it as an opportunity to hurt me back for „rejecting“ him in the past. Do you think this is true? I think he could be right because he denied having feelings for me even after I admitted that I had a crush on him.
