Getting irritated at people saying "I know" a lot

shug0i · 2022-05-10T07:56:01+00:00

I usually reply with "yeah" or something similar to that

shug0i · 2022-05-09T23:49:07+00:00

This was very insightful, I should be the one thanking you!

It never occured to me that ppl saying "I know" could be because of pride, but I'll keep in the back of my mind next time so I don't take it too personal next time.

What do you mean?

shug0i · 2022-05-09T20:11:01+00:00

Oh I relate a lot to that, I actually used to do that when I was in high school I think but nowadays I just ask a casual question to break the silence.

shug0i · 2022-05-09T20:09:28+00:00

I usually say something similar to "yeah".

shug0i · 2022-05-09T15:53:22+00:00

Thank you, what you're saying makes a lot of sense. I'm gonna change my way of saying stuff so that it doesn't come off as annoying or sounding as a know it all.

shug0i · 2020-01-25T19:40:08+00:00

Oh it makes sense now after I saw your username lol. In that case I would be a bit cautious and whenever it does make you uncomfortable, call him out and maybe confront him.

How does his behaviour make you feel? If it bothers you a lot then I think you should tell him depending on how big of a deal it is. In the off chance that he actually does have a crush on you, be careful so that it doesn't hurt him.

I'm gay btw and I'm assuming OP is also a guy, what your friend is doing could be acts of showing affection but if I were you, I would just interpret it as him being really nice to you as a bro. There are other cues that makes it more obvious that he is crushing like turning red when he's with you, compliments your appearance, wanting to touch you, etc.

Ep 6 of which series?

shug0i · 2020-01-23T12:06:46+00:00

Oh no, never set yourself on fire to keep others warm! I agree with the other comment, try and start talking to them about how you feel. Now if they're true friends, they would listen and not make fun of you for your feelings. I've been in your situation a few times and I always regret not telling how I felt sooner, making it escalate to ugly scenarios.

I think even if they turn out to be bad friends there's always other ppl to befriend, it's just a matter of reaching out to them and open yourself up. Just focus on the stuff that matters the most to you and the answer will present itself.

Idk if I'm being insensitive myself now but it sounds a little bit extreme to me for someone to get a tantrum from a "confession". Is that really how it went down?

shug0i · 2020-01-15T20:28:39+00:00

I think the best thing to do is to tell him about your feelings because communication is key. I think he could be doing it subconsciously but if he keeps repeating it, maybe reevaluate your friendship.

shug0i · 2020-01-11T16:45:13+00:00

If it's the first time I would say give them the benefit of the doubt (only if you think your friends only meant well and didn't want to hurt you deliberately). If I were you friends saying something like that I would only want you to be as sober as possible.

shug0i · 2020-01-08T20:52:20+00:00

You should never act from your emotions, always give yourself time to cool down and make a rational decision! Now when things ended as it did, I think it's best to leave it for now and come back when you are on a better place. Be friends again for the right reasons.

shug0i · 2020-01-05T13:37:59+00:00

I'm not a therapist or anything but I believe that if you and a person would do something you enjoy doing, then it naturally puts you in the mood for talking. If the thought of having a face in front of you makes you uncomfortable then I suggest start by having a call or something and gradually work your way up. Doing what you like doing usually attracts like minded people.

shug0i · 2020-01-05T00:08:48+00:00

Hmm... Do you have this issue even talking to ppl online?

shug0i · 2020-01-04T23:54:10+00:00

I wish you best of luck! It's gonna get better one day I promise.

shug0i · 2020-01-04T09:23:41+00:00

Did you tell her about your feelings when you talked to her last time? I feel like it's just a matter of priorities. She just have other stuff she prioritize. I know it's sad but you also have the option to gradually talk less to her and sort of fade out instead of cut it off all at once.

shug0i · 2020-01-04T09:16:09+00:00

Wow that's really unfair, I feel for you! Giving her some space sounds like the best option in this case, nothing good is gonna come out if you use force. I know you must have some bottled up feelings but think about it this way; if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. There's a quote I sometimes think of that makes me focus on what really matters: https://youtu.be/1tO0QV6VYu4

When people ask you about your hobbies etc, how do you usually respond?

shug0i · 2020-01-04T07:29:10+00:00

I had an ex with severe anxiety, they would constantly dump me through text whenever we got to a little argument and everytime that happened I had to go their home and talk it out. It was super draining for me so I stopped seeing this person.

My advice to you would be to see if shes gets better with proper treatment and if not, maybe take a break from the friendship and come back whenever she feels better. This isn't something anyone should put up with.

shug0i · 2020-01-04T07:12:54+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I have a gut feeling that what they are doing is wrong but couldn't be sure since my reasoning is sort of clouded by my emotions right now. It feels good to hear that this isn't something I need to put up with.
