Search Results: too shy to look at him

okay, here's some background knowledge. he's 3 years older then me,4 grades higher, and my sister is 2 years older then me and 1 year younger and 2 grades behind from him. lets call him pineapple. so pineapple is much closer to my sister then me. for example, he follows her insta and always gives her second opinions on her photos, and she follows him back and they go through eachothers phones sometimes. but i also noticed her usually doesn't look at my sister a lot, but mostly at me. pineapple also pulled up a picture of himself flexing in the mirror, and me being curious i said 'why are you looking at muscly men bro' and then he said 'thats me-?' and i just looked embarrassingly away. also on my sisters side she always act so.. different around pineapple like bubbly- and with this snob tone. but! pineapple hates when anyone is left alone like he's protective about everyone-. buttt when we went skiing and i was left alone he said' bro why'd (brothers name) leave you he wasn't supposed to' and then i said 'he told me i was too slow' and then pineapple ended up waiting for someones to watch me (this because i have a very bad sense of direction) and i ended up getting lost and getting level 2 frostbite and early stages of hypothermia, and once i told our group that pineapple looked almost surprised and worried. now on new years pineapples buddy, grape, fell asleep on my hand. and pineapple kept like side-eyeing us a bit, and i was confused since i was out of it. also also! we were going to play ghosts in the grave yard but my brother didn't want to team up with me since it was uneven so i ended up going to my room, changing out of my dress and watching squid game, but little did i know they ended going inside and not playing. and im still wondering why! but the more i think about it he likes my sister more then me. is this because of my age gap or is since i shy away a lot? grape also liked my sister whom i look like?

I’ve been seeing this cute guy around at work.
He works in a different department to me but I see him on breaks, he sits with other people from his department. He is normally deeply immersed in his phone. I’ve noticed a few times that he will gaze at me and when I look at him, he will smile at me while holding eye contact. I’m always the one to look away first (because I am super shy).

A couple of weeks ago, we were walking towards each other in the corridor. He did his usual gaze and smiled at me, then I said “hiya, you alright?” As I passed by. He smiled even more and looked down. A week or so after that, I walked past him while he was eating his lunch and I looked down at him and smiled.

Since then, I’ve noticed we don’t really have those interactions anymore. When I see him, he usually looks in every other direction apart from mine, even when he walks right past me. I have seen him occasionally glance at me when he is in the distance.
We did have another occurrence when we walked towards each other. He smiled and said hiya very quietly and walked off. Today, I was stood behind him at the water fountain waiting for my turn. He turned around, said “sorry” really quickly and walked off. I think he may have left real quick but I was too shy to look at him.

Please help me because I’m starting to feel like I’m repulsive and that he is uninterested.
