This is a real life medical issue. I was quite clear that I was discussing the vocal stereotypy, not injurious behavior, which is never acceptable. Downvoting me doesn’t change science, I’m sorry.

And that's why I never believe anything I read here actually happened. Yet, I'm here reading stories everyday XD

You didn’t do anything wrong. You were clear you didn’t want to be a second choice now she’s being a bit uncool ghosting you.

If I was your boss I woulda started singing along to it...maybe start an impromptu karaoke session......it's good I'm not your boss......

To be fair, I think ChatGPT has nailed the average Redditor’s dysfunctional social awkwardness and cringeworthy style of storytelling.

This happened to me in a crowded library in an old school way, after finishing typing a paper I unplugged my headphones but my Winamp was still playing, and it was akinyele “put it in your mouth.” Lot of stares, and surprisingly no one replied to me which they would choose to lick. 😀Feel ya OP!

This ain’t one date, they’ve known each other for years.

It’s definitely not too clingy to want to be in a relationship with someone you know this well - that sounds pretty normal.

Definitely a bit selfish to make a move on a virgin then reject a relationship. And I’m sure she knows that, which is why she’s ghosting.

Honestly, don’t beat yourself up about it. If I was the crush I would have laughed (at the situation and comment, not at you). It wouldn’t have put me off.

I can tell you exactly where you fucked up, and it wasn't where you think.

Directly after the two of you had a conversation where you agreed that the two of you should dial back on any feelings and just keep it cool and friendly, you sent her a message about your emotional baggage from a previous relationship where you had been someone's second choice, and how hurt your feelings were, and so on.

That is the moment where you should have given her space, or at least kept things light. You had both talked it out, come to an agreement like adults to be friendly. Once you do that, discussions of why you should/shouldn't be in a relationship with each other are moot. "I'll be here for you," means, "...in the future, as a friend," not, "literally immediately keep talking at me about why us dating/not dating would hurt your feelings."

You guys agreed to just be friends, but then immediately gave her a reason to think, "Oh, this guy might not be able to be chill about this after all."

I'm 36 and still struggle so much with this

Tell them at school you creating a story for your kids. In years to come. Then say Beat that

The only FU was your apology. You don’t need to apologize for having respect for yourself, being clear with your emotions/intentions, and setting boundaries. It helps to have an abundance mentality. If she starts ghosting you, that’s fine - plenty more fish in the see and love available for you. No need to dread / apologize, it comes off as clingy and not confident.

Good news is you’re not past the point of no return. Things didn’t work out timing wise. It might in the future. Focus on you and maybe you’ll reconnect again when the stars align. I personally wouldn’t initiate any contact for a good while. And then when it feels like history (maybe a couple years), you can respond to her stories if you feel like it and see if things might work out better then.

Did you find your shrimp eventually?

This exact same thing happened with the last shrimp I had. Rip Mr Shrimp Co.

In the future, (and I hope this never happens to you again,) you can go ahead and put the screw into the hole in the pipe that you accidentally drilled and it will plug most of the flow of water and give you time to get to the shutoff with much less water damage.

I imagine you will always drill carefully and stop at the drywall and use a probe to check what's inside from now on though. Something like this sticks with you.

😢 ded 🐌

Doesn't seem like a fuck up, kinda seems like a bullet dodged if I'm being perfectly honest.

I know you like this girl, but she slept with you, knowing you're a virgin while seeing another guy she supposedly would rather be with. There's only a few reasons this would happen, and none of them are good.

A. She's the type to cheat and she would've cheated on you too.

B. She likes this guy, but he doesn't like her and just considers her a fuck buddy, and she was using you for emotional support/stringing you along as a fall-back.

Neither situation is good for you. As another commenter said, be wary of her coming running back to you in a few months when her and this other guy split up. I'm not saying 100% don't get back with her, but just...think about it first.

It's doing a great job

Sometimes they freak out and seal up for a while. It could be pretending to be a rock.

My mom once had a cat they called Sassy who came to her as a street cat. She had a really big belly when thry found her (this was the 70s) and when they took her in all their friends would feel her belly and coo with delight because they could feel the kittens. Convinced she was pregnant every time my mom had to leave she would have someone cat sit in case she gave birth. Well 2 years went by and my mom found Sassy lying on the couch licking a big pink penis. Turns out all those kittens they could feel ans were ooing and awing about was just a fat ass street tom.

I wouldn't think so. I looked all over. No snails in sight.

Be patient. You may be friends again. She may just want some time apart. Also, in my experience, women are more empathetic. She may be trying to avoid things getting weird.

There is nothing wrong with how you feel. Knowing yourself will take you places. Experiences like this are opportunities to learn.

While I commend you for an heroic approach I am pointing out here that OP (and possibly OPs parents) have made a clear mistake. There is no way any child should be physically attacked in class for expressing their own frustrations at a clearly frustrating environment.

If OP cant control their audible outbursts then it is necessary to move OP (and maybe some of the other noisy students) to something similar to a "high tempo" style class.
