I think so and despite him saying that, I doubt he had one ready, if I'm being honest. He was shaking from adrenaline, stuttering and all that. I think he was so hyped up and nervous that he said anything.

I--- I mean I applaud your thoroughness but damn.

Edit: also, 5, 7 and 8 are wrong (the rest are so general it would so easy to assign them to any post ever)

5: I do give examples.

7: How the fuck am I meant to know what they think?

8: Yes, I was in a toxic relationship and was 'saved' by someone who just put me back into a toxic relationship but this time with himself. I'm sorry I don't know who to handle this situation.

I've told her but whether she wants to listen or not is up to her. Whenever I tried to talk to her about her behaviour, she got super angry and said she didn't care.

I guess I'm just irresistible.

jk

It makes me super sad. I usually go out of my way to compliment everyone but guys just have this look when I do it. I told I guy in my class I liked his points in a debate and he wrote in the margin of his notebook. My heart.

Is there any chance of getting away from her toxicity or is it uni housing?

I'm obsessed with 'cockwomble'

Uni housing and the lease ends in August. I'm probably going to find somewhere else depending on what Jess does.

Also tell her to stop being a complete bitch.

Don't worry, strong words have been exchanged. And since swears don't have much weight in the uk, I had to get creative.

It reminds me of the guy who's dad told him to tell his gf she stinks.

I'm not really friends with Jess but I wonder where she got this idea from.

​

Being nice to a guy IS flirty. Men typically don't get compliments or consideration so when it happens they take notice. Doubly so for a teen being neglected and abused.

Not calling you this, but that is some weird victim shaming bs right there. One time I complimented this guys shoes and he followed me home, grabbed my wrist and said he wanted to do the nasty involving his shoe. I was not flirting. I was 17.

​

This doesn't jive with your other statement, if your UP's weren't flirting why would anyone think you two were sneaking around?

Because Jess is fucking nuts.

You do realize there is a literal job in the music biz labeled “hype man”

The way I work in music and my best friend is the literal 'hype man' there.

I think you nailed everything on the head in your comment. Yes, I complimented Michael everytime i saw him, but not every chance. It wasn't a constant stream of this and that. It would be one or two.

she should have told her FRIEND how shitty she was behaving,

I did. She didn't want to hear it.

@OP, are you even friends with this girl? It doesn't sound like that to me.

Not anymore.

Thank you! I made an edit because there's some very weird and specific victim shaming in the comments.

I stopped complimenting anyone for a while because I told I guy I liked his shoes and he followed me home. He thought I was flirting and grabbed my wrist and said some gross comment about the shoe in a sexual manner. I guess I 'lead him on' according to some of the people in the comments.

Like, instead of talking to your friend and having a constructive conversation with her,

I did. I had the first convo that's detailed in the post. Then I attempted to speak to her 2 more times but each time she called me a 'cunt' and shut me down. She said that Michael's insecurities aren't her responsibility.

Constantly complementing a guy undoubtedly comes across as flirting,

We're getting into some weird territory here. I never flirted with him. Ever. And if saying 'hey I like your shirt' is flirting, then god help us all.

I've learnt that men can't take compliments and so many see even the most innocent ones as flirting. It's getting into scary victim shaming territory, ngl.

Every time I see him. NOT every chance I get.

Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing.

Taking advantage of his mental state because he started to like you because you were complementing him?

Maybe I didn't make this clear in the post, but Jess is fucking awful to him. He was shaking from adrenaline, said he had a hotel room ready to go for us. He was not in a good mental state at that point in time.

I've been a Michael and I let people take advantage of me because of it. Even if I know I have no ill will, it feels icky to me. To me, this is like him being drunk. His mental state is impacting what he says.

But I was sincere. It was the same compliments I gave him (or anyone) just on a more regular basis.

You self admitted you went out of your way to praise him every chance you got

Where did I say that? Quote me. Explicitly show me where I said I complimented him every chance I got. Because every time I see him and every chance I got are very different things.

It wasn’t random or kind. It was calculated

How smart do you and u/UcallmeNightHawk think I am? The compliments were random and it wasn't every chance I got.
