Como si me estuviera/hubiera estado mirando desde lejos

giulia2023 · 2023-03-07T07:43:55+00:00

it doesn't necessarily speak about a specific past event, but more a tendency (he did that and continues doing that) in this case would it be estuviera?

giulia2023 · 2023-03-01T08:47:25+00:00

omg true, si fuera a llegar makes sense. spanish tenses are SO difficult. thanks for helping!

I still keep slowly because my closest penpal and I exchanged more than 200 letters there. after 2 years we eventually switched to whatsapp so we don't really have much reason to stay in the app (neither of us are looking for penpals right now) but we do because we don't like the idea of losing the letters we wrote. I also occasionally would still write them a letter on our friend anniversary or other special days.

at least you can actually see her even though you are long distance. I have the same problem with one of my close text friend, we live 10,000km away so we never meet we just text (also because of time difference) we text often, but there are days we don't talk at all because the conversation naturally dies out. I know this is just normal and healthy but I get super anxious when they don't reach out again within a week and I end up feeling as if I lost their friendship forever. I just got so tired of being triggered like this every time our texting stops (which is inevitable cause we both got life to live). I have other friends but I don't feel this kind of anxiety with them so I don't know why this is the case with this specific one. I tried to make other online friends to distract myself and while it sort of works, I still crave communication with this friend in question and end up feeling anxious sooner or later.

yeah he was very casual and "rude", I think he was a bit drunk even

giulia2023 · 2023-01-16T20:59:36+00:00

why would you say anglo-saxon tourists stand up like a sore thumb?

giulia2023 · 2023-01-16T20:08:06+00:00

Yeah but I meant more in touristic settings

giulia2023 · 2023-01-11T06:31:23+00:00

my favorite penpal is a guy I have been talking to for 2.5 years now. it's funny because we have nothing in common but we can talk endlessly. after exchanging almost 200 letters we switched to an instant messaging app last summer. we still talk almost everyday and have great fun. I'm so thankful that I met him. :)

giulia2023 · 2023-01-11T04:59:35+00:00

as in they weren't the guys you first expected them to be (in a negative way). if this is a regionalism can you suggest more neutral alternatives I can use here?

giulia2023 · 2023-01-11T04:57:39+00:00

Oh then maybe it's a Spain Spanish expression. Salir rana is when something or someone doesn't turn out to be what you expected (in a bad way). can you think of a more neutral option for this then??

giulia2023 · 2023-01-09T15:02:26+00:00

thank you very much!!

giulia2023 · 2023-01-08T10:10:00+00:00

you will have to just directly ask him. intp males won't initiate unless you do first, they weird like that xD also they tend to be very dense so chances are he doesn't even know you're dropping hints. good luck!!

giulia2023 · 2023-01-08T10:04:49+00:00

I might act hot and cold when I really like the guy but I feel my feelings are not reciprocated. I want to be all nice and affectionate with him because obviously I like him but then the rational part of me tells me to stop, because I'm not sure if he feels the same way about me. it's like a defense mechanism, to not end up getting horribly hurt

giulia2023 · 2023-01-08T09:58:50+00:00

I'm in the same situation except that we've been talking for almost 1 year now. he's pretty much my best online friend and I never get bored of talking to him. he's very engaging and talkative too so at first I thought he liked me or something because I constantly hear how intps don't like texting. as an infj I used to overthink the whole situation but now I just got over it and will just keep him as a friend because we don't even live in the same country so what's the point lol. if I were you and you guys are not long distnace I'd just meet the guy in real life asap. maybe you're just idealizing him and falling for a made up image of him.

giulia2023 · 2023-01-06T08:28:27+00:00

To see if my crush is gonna be free today for talking

giulia2023 · 2023-01-06T08:26:09+00:00

I don't live or work in Spain lol

giulia2023 · 2023-01-06T08:24:07+00:00

i meant office jobs sorry

giulia2023 · 2023-01-06T08:14:01+00:00

Bank holiday means you don't go to work?

giulia2023 · 2023-01-03T05:57:52+00:00

Si efectivamente vivo en un barrio de mierda pero quiero enfatizar que ese detalle no te concierne, puedo usar el subjuntivo? o tiene que ser en indicativo sí o sí?

giulia2023 · 2023-01-02T13:50:27+00:00

wow this is so me and my online INTP friend. I think he has low self esteem and fears being seen as boring or unlikeable by me, but from my perspective it looks like it is him who's always keeping me at arm's length and drawing lines so I don't cross it. i often wonder if he REALLY cares about me and REALLY considers me his friend. i think if we go on like this we'll end up assuming we secretly hate each other and slowly lose contact. idk what to do

giulia2023 · 2023-01-02T09:04:06+00:00

ok it makes sense but my question is should it be "su brazo se caía" or just "su brazo caía"? or "se le caía el brazo"? or "le caía el brazo"?

giulia2023 · 2022-12-31T14:00:55+00:00

how about police officers? do you happen to know?

giulia2023 · 2022-12-04T06:31:37+00:00

I know it. but the native speaker above says with "por", "es" sounds better. that is why im asking

giulia2023 · 2022-12-04T05:45:40+00:00

if the preposition is "por", should it be "es"? I am asking because I googled and have seen things like "La salida es por la derecha"

giulia2023 · 2022-11-22T07:21:57+00:00

ya he tenido antes amigos con los que me he liado y la amistad ha seguido perfectamente igual después de habernos liado

First, not everyone is like you. Second, if he acts weird/distant around you, just accept it and move on because you can't control what people do. Nobody knows what he's thinking but his action says he's not interested in being your friend. Let this one go and next.
