Search Results: i'm ugly

Hi everyone

I'm hoping to get some outside perspective on a situation with a guy I used to work with, as I feel I might be overthinking things. There's been a spark between us, but I'm unsure if it's mutual. Here are some details:

1. **Post-Work Interactions**: We often spent time together after everyone else had left, and he would walk me home, lingering a bit.

2. **Attention to Details**: He remembered small details about me, but I wonder if this is just part of his intelligent and observant personality.

3. **Eye Contact and Body Language**: He often gave prolonged eye contact, making me feel drawn in. He also mirrored my posture at the table.

4. **Subtle Physical Contact**: When sitting close, our knees would touch, and he wouldn’t move away. His body would be angled towards me, though he never sat extremely close.

5. **Mixed Messages**: He mentioned going on dates with others, walks at my pace, and has never inquired about my dating life. His messages are usually short, and we mostly meet in group settings.

6. **Personal Insecurities**: I’ve often felt like the 'ugly duckling' or second choice, so I’m unsure if I’m misinterpreting his friendliness as interest.

7. **Shared Interests**: We have a lot in common, and I've tried initiating light physical touches, which he responds to with laughter, but he doesn’t initiate similar actions.’

Im seeking your kind and considerate advice to help interpret these signs. Do you think there might be a romantic interest on his part, or am I reading too much into these interactions? Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. we

Thank you!

9 months ago I got a new working student job where I was assigned 2 supervisors. From the very beginning I felt like everyone was very disinterested in me as if it was so obvious that I’m the most boring person in the world.

At first I assumed that maybe it was because I was just a temp but later I noticed that everyone, especially my supervisor, got along great with other students as if they were best friends despite the age gap of 20 years.

With me however it is the exact opposite, my supervisor even avoids walking next to me and walks ahead or behind me which I find quite rude, is super short and dry even though we only discuss work related topics and sometimes seems uncomfortable and very disinterested in me but makes small talk with every other student (they don’t even work together) just fine, his work wife makes a face when she sees me even though we never talk. I was also left out of a WhatsApp group that was supposed to Organise after work events (even new interns where in this group). It almost feels like I offended someone even though nothing ever happened.

I just don’t understand why almost everyone reacts so negatively to me from the very beginning. I’m not ugly, Im told that I dress nicely, i don’t smell, I’m not rude or loud. These people just assume by looking at me that I must be unworthy of their acquaintance. It is most likely nothing about metoo since many married peope flirt around here. Does anyone have similar experience or maybe an idea what could be the underlaying reason because it is really upsetting me?
