He saw me and commented on my outfit that day it was maybe 0 degrees.. he asked "Why are you wearing a skirt? Are you not cold?" I said "Nope." he says "Oh you've got a goose (Canada goose jacket google if ya don't know what this is)" I said "Yup" Thats how we met, and since than he's asked if the seat next to me is taken LOL which annoyed me greatly because there was legit 60 other seats available so why did he wanna sit next to me blah.. I found out he is friends with my friends.. anyways.. I was too myself and he sees me and walks up to me and smiles and screams "Hey!! How are you?" maybe the way I said it was rude im not sure, but I tried to sound chipper.. I said "Hi." and then he got offended and walked away. 10 minutes later I hear him whining to my friend that I apparently dissed him? I thought that was hilarious i acknowledged his presence.. Personally I don't wanna form any bonds with guys and I don't want them to think Im interested so im really keeping my distance because I have a habit of unintentionally flirting with guys and seeming open when thats just my friendliness and then they think we can be more. Im already in a relationship so ya... i thought his reaction was funny he seemed really hurt which i thought was weird.

How much exp have you had with this? I already exp a mild case of this with my bf (cancer moon mercy and venus) someone else told me it was exactly like u said, 'walking on egg shells' basically i only put it up if i love the person... most times i just find humor in it, today thats exactly what i did but you know if this keeps happening i think annoyance would creep in.

Ok! Here's one situation I remember. Cancer Sun guy - I know he's born on the 6th of July but don't know the year. We used to hang out when we were in the same classes at uni... but I hadn't seen him around in ages - maybe 3/4 months. I was on the phone with my message bank listening to voicemail. We were walking in opposite directions and bumped into each other. I didn't even see him at first - He nodded and said "hello"... I smiled at him... It took me a second to realize who he was.. In the mean time I ended my phone call and I was going to turn around and say "Oh! Hi.. *insert name*". As I did this.. he had walked maybe two steps away from me.. He turns around before I get a chance to say "hi".... and he says: "What's the matter? Don't you say 'hello' anymore? We used to be friends you and I.. remember?"
And he had this really melancholic tone of voice... like he suddenly lost my friendship or something... and I'm like "ummm well we're still friends I just don't see you around as much..." O_O I was completely confused... So he says "ya ya" and walks on. I think he was offended.. or took it the wrong way loll I guess it is *funny*.. but it's also kind of awkward like WTF!!

I can understand why it would be an awkward wtf moment.. all of that happening at once, trying to process wtf just happened his reaction and you trying to find out what made him react that way.. a definite wtf moment, for sure. im guessing you no longer see this person anymore lol!

I dont know if anyone can relate here, but I find that often when I am in situations with hypersensitive people like you just described.. im often left sitting/standing there.. even when they are long gone, trying really hard to make sense of what just happened even sometimes going back in memory to find out what exactly I must've said to cause their reaction. and then noting produces itself because I realize nothing i said or even if i didnt say anything either way they'd probably still react that way..

When I first moved to NY, I would always give a quick smile at strangers that I would pass by on the subway or elevator. It's a really simple gesture that I guess is only considered "just friendly" in the Midwest or the South. A pleasantry. I started to notice that the women would always give me strange looks like I was being "too nice" and the guys would think I was flirting with them or something! Once a guy came up to me and said, "I couldn't help notice that you smiled at me." I didn't really know what to say back but say, "Yes, but I didn't mean anything by it." The guy just gave me a confused look while I quickly scuttled off the subway. It wasn't even my stop! I just didn't know what to say or do! I was just smiling! But I'm willing to guess that that guy on the subway thought I was just a weirdo flirt simply because he misunderstood my intentions.
